Objective: To compare the effects of Motor Relearning Programme and Mirror Therapy on upper extremity functions in Post-Stroke patients.
Design: Parallel group, randomized controlled trial
Settings: The present study was conducted at OPD of University College of Physiotherapy, Faridkot, IPD and OPD of Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery of Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot,Punjab.
Participants: A total of 45 post-stroke patients with upper limb impairent were randomly allocated into three equal groups comprises 15 patients each.Group A received Motor Relearning Programme (MRP) along with Conventional Physiotherapy (CPT), whereas Group B received Mirror Therapy (MT) along with CPT and Group C receivedCPT only. The total duration of intervention was 1 hour per session and frequency of 8 weeks, with 5 sessions per week.
Main Outcome Measures: The outcome measures included were National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS).
Results: The present study revealed that both parameters within the groups had significantly improved in the pre-intervention analysis. However, post-intervention scores of all the parameters of Group A revealed considerable high improvement at a significant level of (p<0.0001) when compared to the other two groups i.e. Group B and Group C.
Conclusion: In light of the study's findings, it is concluded that the MRP along with CPT is more effective than MT along with CPT and CPT alone.
