Conditions
Summary
A randomized control trial will be done on diagnosed stroke patients of subacute stage in Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi and leading edge physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic.The purpose of the study is to determine Additional Effects of Kinesio-Taping along with conservative Physical Therapy on upper limb function, Range of motion and Spasticity in the patients with Subacute Stroke. The conservational physical therapy includes Passive and active ROMs 25 repetitions each, 3 times per week. PNF stretching (hold relax) for spastic muscles for 20 repetitions with a 10 second hold and 10 second relaxation of the muscle group 3 times per week. D1 flexion and extension for 20 repetitions 3 times per week. Kinesio tape 3 times per week. (Anchor opposed to effected compartment to provide facilitation and sustained stretch). with srtrngth training included in week 3-6 with a resistance band of medium resistance. treatment time will be 30 minutes on alternate days for six weeks.
