The purpose of this study was to find the the effectiveness of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Placing technique of BOBATH on upper limb function in hemiparetic individual.
44 subjects diagnosed with hemiparesis were included in this study with age group between 40–60 years. Participants with group A (22) were treated with CIMT and placing technique of bobath and group B (22) were treated with CIMT only. Before and after the treatment protocol the subjects were assessed for sensorimotor function by FMS, functional assessment by MAL scale and upper limb-hand co-ordination by BBT. These outcome measures were analysed.
Pre-and post treatment protocol was analysed by using Wilcoxon matched pairs test and paired t test. Data analysis showed significance for FMS (p=0.0115) and extremely significance for BBT (p < 0.0001) and there is increase in number of subjects with value of 2.5 and 3 in group A than group B for MAL scale.
CIMT combine with Placing technique of Bobath has shown good improvement on upper limb function in hemiparetic individuals.
