Abstract

To determine the effects of passive stretching and electrical stimulation with cryotherapy on spastic hand in hemiplegic patients.. Sample size:  40 patients (20 in each group),Study Design:  Interventional Study, Study setting: A 100 bedded tertiary care teaching hospital with well-equipped medical and surgical intensive care unit and musculoskeletal department, Sample and Sampling method:  40  patients were  randomly selected  and  assigned in 2 groups,  as Group 1(control group), Group 2 (Interventional group)  in equal numbers Exclusion Criteria. Patients having dermatological problem, patients who have received butox or steroids, patients having seizures, severe depression, injuries to arms and hands. Inclusion Criteria: Patient diagnosed with spastic hemiplegia, patients having wrist flexors spasticity grade 3 according modified Asworth Scale,age 35-65 years both gender, patients who are interested to participate, stroke episode less than 4 months. Result: Mann Whitney U Test was used to analyze the pre and post treatment values of modified as worth scale and hand wrist functional scale between groups. Conclusion: The study shows that electrical Functional stimulation combined with crotherapy is more effective as compared to cryotherapy and passive strecthing
