the effect of Constraint induced (CI)and traditional rehabilitation(TR) on motor activity log(MAL) and wolf motor function test(WMFT )in chronic hemiplegic patientpatient
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIT) in comparison with traditional rehabilitation in chronic hemiplegic patients. Inclusion criteria was having at least 20 and 10 degree extension in affected wrist and fingers respectively, having sufficient balance in walking when the less affected arm was immobilized. Exclusion criteria were having serious cognitive problems (aphasia, attention deficits, visual neglect, serious uncontrolled medical problems, limited spasticity and pain, and having motor activity log (MAL) score more than 3) 12 patients (10 male ,2 female were assigned randomly to two groups. The first group received CIT (restraint of the less affected limb combined with intensive training of the affected limb for 2 hours daily, 5 days per week for 3 weeks and restraint of the less affected hand for 5 hours outside of the rehabilitation training). The second group received a traditional intervention without hand restraint for the same duration. Outcome measures were the MAL, Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). These tests were done one day before treatment, after 3 weeks in the end of treatment and three months later as follow-up.
