Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the leading cause of adult Disability.1 Annually approximately 7,50,000 suffer a stroke2 Although incidents rates have remained constant over the last 3 decades, mortality has declined, leaving an increased Stroke is the third leading cause of death in number of patients requiring rehabilitation.3 Upper Extremity Hemiperesis is the most common post stroke disability and its recovery is often limited. Chronic Upper Extremity Weakness is the leading cause of functional disability after Stroke. Methods: In this study we compare the effects of BATRAC [Bilateral arm training with rhythmic Auditory Cueing] with that of conservative unilateral training. In this study we determined the effects of 8 weeks of BATRAC on 15 patients with stroke. 30 minutes daily session 3 times per week was performed with the use of a custom – designed arm training machine. Results: Patients showed significant increases in Fugl-Meyer Upper extremity Motor performance test and Wolf – Motor function test after training than compared to that of conservative unilateral upper extremity training[passive movements]. These benefits are sustained even after 6 weeks of training cessation. Conclusion: 8 weeks of BATRAC improved functional motor performance of paretic upper extremity as weii as improvements in Range of Motion and Isometric strength
