Abstract
Introduction: Regaining functional mobility after stroke is a challenging task for any healthcare professional. Patients lack flexibility in using both upper and lower limbs. The present study was undertaken to find out effective treatment for it. Purpose: The objective of this study is to compare the effects of motor relearning programme with conventional training on functional mobility in post stroke patients. Method: A experimental study was done among stroke subjects with sample size of 30 by simple random sampling method. The outcome was assessed with the help of motor assesement scale for stroke and modified Barthal index. Data was analysed by statistical tests using students t test. Results: When compared within the groups, motor relearning programme and conventional training was effective in improving functional mobility. But when compared between the groups, motor relearning programme was found to be extremely significant for improving functional mobility (P Value is <0.001). Conclusion: Motor relearning programme is extremely significant in improving functional mobility than conventional training in post stroke patients.
