| Abstract: | Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, often resulting in impaired hand function. Conventional rehabilitation techniques have shown limited efficacy in improving hand function post-stroke. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) has emerged as a promising intervention, but its effectiveness in improving hand function among sub-acute stroke patients remains underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation in improving hand function in sub-acute stroke patients. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted using a computer generated randomized table involving 50 sub-acute non haemorrhagic stroke patients recruited from a physiotherapy department. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving rPMS in addition to conventional physiotherapy or a control group receiving (NMES) Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and conventional physiotherapy. Hand function was assessed using the Motricity Index (Arm) score and the Box and Blocks Test pre- and post-intervention. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in hand function within themselves after the intervention. However, the experimental group demonstrated greater improvements compared to the control group, as evidenced by significant differences in post-intervention Motricity Index and Box and Blocks Test scores favoring the experimental group. Conclusion: The findings suggest that rPMS, when combined with conventional physiotherapy, effectively improves upper limb impairment in sub-acute non haemorrhagic stroke patients. Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms underlying these improvements and explore the long-term effects of rPMS on upper limb function post-stroke. |
