The Effect of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function in Stroke Rehabilitation
Sponsor: University of Jazan
Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and trunk restraint contrasted with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients. * To find out the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients. * To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint along with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients. * To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint combined with conventional physical therapy treatment versus conventional physical therapy treatment alone on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.

Interventions
Conventional Physical Therapy
The conventional Physical Therapy, the treatment will be based on the client's capabilities. It included functional reeducation, muscle strengthening and stretching, muscle tone regulation methods, and training for activities of daily living
Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy
Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) which involves trunk constraint along with conventional Physical Therapy treatment. Under the attentive guidance of a physiotherapist, the patient engages in specific hand activities aligned with personalized goals. These activities encompass tasks such as picking up marbles, flipping cards, stacking blocks, combing hair, writing, and other actions relevant to daily life. The difficulty level is dynamically adjusted according to the patient's abilities and progress during the training sessions.Tasks may vary from one patient to another, and each session introduces fresh, goal-oriented challenges to further enhance rehabilitation outcomes, along with the conventional physical therapy treatment. The patients were wearing a trunk west which had a Velcro strap on the non-effected side part of the west, and it was attached to the Velcro straps on the non-affected part on the back support of the treatment chair.
