Comparative Study Of Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (Grasp) Vs Task Specific Training (Tst) On Upper Limb Function In Subacute Stroke Survivors
Main Article Content
Abstract
Study Design: Comparative study Design Methods.
Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the comparison between GRASP and TST on Upper Extremity functions of subacute stroke survivors
Participants: 30 subjects were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria by using convenient sampling method. They were divided into 3 groups of 10 each for respective groups.
Methods: Fugl Mayer Assessment (FMA) was administrated to all the subjects to evaluate the pre-test value. Each group received their respective intervention for 8 weeks, 5 sessions per week. After the intervention, the post-test was conducted for all the three groups by the administration of Fugl Mayer Assessment (FMA). Graph pad InStat was used to analyze the data.
Result: Statistical analysis shows that there was a significant difference on Upper Extremity Functions of persons with subacute stroke in both Experimental groups (A) and (B) as well as Control group (C). comparing mean obtained on posttest in the experimental groups (A, B) and control group (C) using, Fugl Mayer Assessment (FMA) 43.1, 42.4 and 37.3 respectively; it is seen that mean obtained in GRASP is higher than the TST and the least are obtained in Conventional OT on Fugl Mayer Assessment (FMA). Conclusion: This study concludes that Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) and Task Specific Training (TST) combined with Conventional Occupational Therapy improve Upper Extremity Functions of persons with subacute stroke.
