Effects of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Upper Limb Motor Function in Chronic Ischemic Stroke Patients

ABSTRACT Background:Motor function is the most important long term consideration for conservative management for post stroke patients. Objective:To assess the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique versus modified constraint induced movement therapy on upper limb motor function of the chronic ischemic stroke patients. Methodology:It was a randomized control trial. Total number of participants was 72 (66 after dropout) of chronic stroke patients.it was a single blinded study.one group was given conventional physical therapy with PNF and other group was given conventional physical therapy with MCIMT. Results: the participants mean age was 58.1818(PNF) and 58.3939 (MCIMT). There was no significant difference between the groups post treatment (p>0.05). A significant difference was noted post intervention (p
