Intervention  motor training involving the less-affected side (MTLA)  MTLA is a program for the less affected upper and lower limbs of poststroke subjects. The program utilized progressive resistive exercises (PRE) and bimanual-task training. Twenty four treatment sessions (2-3/ week; 1 hour each) will be carried out over a period of 2 months.

Brief Summary  

Background: The damage of some fibers of the corticospinal tract may lead to mild to moderate impairment on sound side also. The sound side (the "unaffected" side) is often considered a reference point. It is therefore assumed that this side has no deficit. Nevertheless, previous research suggests or tends to show diminished strength in the unaffected upper limb when compared with healthy subjects. However, the rehabilitation protocols emphasized only on the affected side. In spite of this majority of the stroke population do not achieve complete or satisfactory motor recovery of the affected side.  Animal studies have shown that the retraining of the less affected side also, leads to better cortical reorganization which in turn add up  to improved motor recovery of the affected upper limb.

Objectives

·        To study the level of impairment in less affected upper extremity of stroke patients

·        To compare the  preference between dominant and non-dominant less affected hand

·        To develop Occupational therapy intervention protocol focused on intralimb (bilateral upper limb) coordination and exclusive strengthening & dexterity training of the less affected side

·       To study the effect of the protocol in comparison to the conventional program

Methodology

 Study Design: Part- I  Comparison of less affected upper limb of post stroke patients with matched able body individuals (Non-experimental: observational). Part-II Comparison of the new treatment protocol with the conventional (experimental; randomized controlled trial)                                            Place of study: Department of Occupational Therapy, PDUIPH

Inclusion criteria: Age: 40 to 60 year, both male & female, Hemiparesis (right / left), unilateral stroke (Ischemic / hemmorhagic), 4 to 12 months after stroke

Exclusion criteria: Receptive communication disorder, Cerebellar or thalamic infarct, Uncontrolled systemic  or cardiovascular disease, multiple stroke, Ataxia, Severe cognitive / perceptual deficit

 

Sample size30 post stroke patients (Pilot study) and 30 matched able body individuals (All the participants will be enrolled after obtaining signed informed consent form)

Sampling Method: Sample of convenience, Random assignment

Outcome measures: Purdue peg board test, Minnesota rate of manipulation test (MRMT) (Both the measures are already available in the Department of Occupational therapy, PDUIPH

 

Deliverable outcomes

·        The present study will lead to development of rehabilitation protocol which encompasses less affected side also.

·       Assessment and training of less affected upper extremity will enhance better motor and functional outcome in post stroke survivors.
