|
Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to determine correlation between hand function and sensibility on contraintinduced movement therapy in hemiplegic side.
Method: Ten subjects without a control group were given CIMT to the hemiplegic side for 3 weeks. The effects of their hand function and sensibility were examined using a MAL and two point discrimination Test. Repeated ANOVA was carried out for an analysis of the effects of the application of CIMT before and after treament. Data was analyzed using pearson product correlation between MAL quantitative and qualitative and two-point discrimination.
Result: The participants showed significant improvement in their functional aspect with CIMT. There was significant improvement in the quantitative and qualitative aspect of MAL, as well as significant improvement in the two-point discrimination function in all fingers. There was a statistically significant difference between MAL quantitative and qualitative and two-point discrimination.
Conclusion: CIMT can enhance the motor function and sensory function of the hand in hemiplegic patients. The hand function and sensibility had a correlation on CIMT.
