Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and trunk restraint contrasted with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.

  • To find out the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.

  • To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint along with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.

  • To find out the effectiveness of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and trunk restraint combined with conventional physical therapy treatment versus conventional physical therapy treatment alone on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients.
