Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is conducted to assess whether the GMI or MT reduce the level of spasticity. Also to compare the level of independence in GMI and MT in the chronic stroke patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when inadequate blood flow to a part of the brain leads to cell death. There are two primary types of strokes: ischemic, caused by reduced blood flow, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. Both types result in impaired brain function in the affected areas.

A systemic review was conducted on the effectiveness of mirror therapy on lower extremities, stal and walk in early stage and long term stroke. Results shown better results with using mirror the than control group.

Non-randomized controlled trial study was conducted on stroke patients treated by graded n imagery. It consisted of 28 subjects and the experimental group included 14 and other 14 included in the control group. Graded motor imagery showed better results than the convent therapy as 10 patients showed better outcomes in the intervention group and only 4 patients sho improvement in the control group.

Graded Motor Imagery

GMI uses visual cues and mental exercises to retain the brain in steps.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Graded Motor Imagery

Intervention Type OTHER

Graded Motor Imagery typically 1 to 3 times per day for 5 to 10 minutes for each phase. No physical movement at first only cognitive task, mental rehearsal and visual motor.

Mirror Therapy

Mirror Therapy uses a mirror to make the brain think the weak side is moving

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Mirror Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Mirror Therapy typically involves 1 to 3 sessions per day for 10 to 15 minutes gradually increases as tolerated.Visual and motor training using a mirror placed at the midline.
