Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect inpatient physiotherapy intervention, outpatient physiotherapy intervention and compare inpatient physiotherapy intervention versus delayed outpatient physiotherapy intervention in post stroke hemiplegic individual.

44 subjects diagnosed with post stroke hemiplegia were included in this study. Subjects were divided into two different groups. Group A was inpatient and group B was delayed outpatient group. These subjects were allocated by convenient sampling method. During Pre and post treatment assessment functional independence and mobility were assessed by outcome measures Functional Independence Measure and Barthel Index. These outcome measures were analysed.

Pre and post functional independence and mobility was analysed by using paired and unpaired t test. Data analysis showed significance for FIM and Barthel Index (p value less than 0.001) for both the groups but comparative to group B (delayed outpatient), group A (inpatient) is more effective.

Inpatient physiotherapy intervention and delayed outpatient physiotherapy intervention is effective in improving the functional independence and mobility in the post stroke hemiplegic individuals but comparative to delayed outpatient physiotherapy intervention, inpatient physiotherapy intervention is more effective.
