| Abstract: | Background and Objective: Spasticity is a common complication after stroke which can affects the motor recovery in rehabilitation and the quality of life. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is one of the most used recent treatment technique for potentially benefit of motor enhancement. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of surged faradic currents combined with conventional physiotherapy versus conventional physiotherapy alone for improving upper limb spasticity and motor recovery in post stroke subjects. Methods: Quasi experimental study design, in this study, there were 76 subjects with an average age of over 50 years, a clinical diagnosis of post stroke spasticity, and who were divided into two groups at randomly. The subjects in Group A (n = 38) received Surged Faradic Currents plus conventional physiotherapy and Group B (n =38) received conventional physiotherapy. Intervention was given to participants 5 days a week for 6 weeks. The MAS and FMA-UE were used to assess the intervention effectiveness. Results: Independent ‘t’ test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired ‘t’ test was used to assess the statistical difference between pre and post test scores of FMA-UE. A Pearson’s Chi-Square test was used to compare the pre and post-test scores and also compare the statistical difference between two independent groups for MAS. Statistical analysis of this data revealed that, both groups significantly improved in both parameters when compared within groups, but when compared between groups, the surged faradic currents plus conventional physiotherapy group improved better than the conventional physiotherapy alone group. Conclusion: The present study concludes surged faradic currents plus conventional physiotherapy group and conventional physiotherapy group showed significant improvements in reduction of spasticity and motor recovery in subjects with stroke. However, surged faradic currents plus conventional physiotherapy group is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone group. Therefore, it may be recommended from these findings that surged faradic currents that may be used as an adjunct to conventional physiotherapy for treatment of spasticity in the rehabilitation clinics. |
