Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Stroke is most common in hypertensive patients in old age. This definition of stroke is the reversibility of tissue damage and was devised for the purpose, with the time frame of 24 hours being chosen arbitrarily. The 24–hour limit divides stroke from transient ischemic attack, which is a related syndrome of stroke symptoms that resolve completely within 24 hours. Various physiotherapy techniques used for the rehabilitation after stroke. Constraint induced movement therapy is from one of the technique used for stoke rehabilitation. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy is a new treatment technique that claims to improve the arm motor ability and the functional use of a paretic arm – hand. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy focus the use of the affected side by restraining the unaffected side. It is observed that patients with hemiparesis did not use their affected extremity (hemi –neglecting). The application of the method is the patients wear a mitt on the unaffected arm 90% of their waking hours and perform repetitive exercises with the more affected arm six to seven hours per day during two to three weeks OBEJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to determine the effects of constraint induced movement therapy in stoke rehabilitation. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded from the present study that Constraint Induced Movement Therapy might be beneficial than traditional rehabilitation therapy in stroke. These findings from the articles which are included in the study have clinical significance for the rehabilitation of patient within stroke. These articles shows significant effects of constraint induced movement therapy in Stroke Rehabilitation.
