Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Lower Limb Motor Function
Stroke
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Stroke
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Both male and female
- Patients who will be diagnosed with hemiplegia due to stroke
- Patient who has an asymmetrical stance, ability to walk and stand with minimal assistance
- Patient must have 15 degrees of knee flexion in the affected limb
- Mini mental state examination Mini Mental State Examination >23
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who cannot perform the active movement of a limb due to pre stroke musculoskeletal problems

Constrained induced movement therapy
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation therapy
In this group of patients, they will use the CIMT technique for treatment. Patient will perform following tasks, while unaffected limb in constrains for 3 hours/day Sit-to-Stand Forward and Backward stepping Stair Climbing and Descending (only the first stair will be used) Side-to-Side stepping with the affected limb
Different PNF components (such as commands, stretching, timing, and manual resistance) will be used for optimizing patients' output. We will do ten repetitions of each pattern before Proceeding to the next pattern. The PNF patterns in the set used in the study will be : Lower extremity: < Flexion-abduction-external rotation (knee flexed and knee extended) < Extension-adduction-internal rotation (knee flexed and knee extended) < Flexion-adduction-internal rotation (knee flexed and knee extended) < Extension-abduction-external rotation (knee flexed and knee extended
