mCIMTModified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients

This study aims to explore how different types of physical therapy can improve arm and hand function, balance, and overall quality of life for people who have experienced a stroke and have long-term difficulties moving one side of their body. The researchers are particularly interested in comparing a special therapy called Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint with regular physical therapy methods. Understanding which approach works best could lead to better rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors, helping them regain more independence in their daily activities. Participants in the study will receive either conventional physical therapy or a combination of mCIMT and trunk restraint, along with conventional therapy. mCIMT involves limiting the use of the unaffected arm to encourage use of the affected arm, while trunk restraint helps with posture and balance. The study will measure improvements in arm and hand function, balance, and participants' quality of life. By evaluating these outcomes, the study seeks to determine which therapy method offers the most benefit to those recovering from a stroke.
