A Study to Check Added effects of Electrical Stimulation with Task Oriented Training in Hand Rehabilitation among Stroke Patients

Stroke patients are having variety of disable functions, including limited hand functions which has key role to do activities of daily living.

To determine the added effects of electrical stimulation combined with task oriented training in stroke patients.

30 subjects were selectively divided in to two groups. Group A received Eletrical stimulation with Task oriented training while Group B received only task oriented training. Outcome measures were grip strength, Box and Block test, 9 hole peg and ROM.

Statistical significant difference found for all the variables used in methods in between the groups.

Electrical stimulation with task oriented training improves hand functions more effectively compared to only task oriented training in stroke patients.
