Clinical Trial Summary

Upper limb recovery after stroke is unacceptably poor with almost half of stroke survivors likely to regain some functional use. The rehabilitation process for upper extremity for individuals with stroke is of long duration and clinicians face the challenge of identifying a variety of assistive appliances that may be adapted and graded to facilitate this process. One of these appliances that is widely used in rehabilitation is splint and strapping. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of this modality in rehabilitation of the upper limb in stroke survivors.


Clinical Trial Description

Stroke often results in spasticity and associated motor impairments in the upper limb Spasticity in the upper limb commonly interferes with its motor activities, and results in impairments in the upper limb muscles. Persistent upper limb impairments can lead to limitations in activities of daily living, and quality of life. Assistive devices to facilitate the use of the hemiplegic upper extremity are considered to be the most important modalities in improving the functions of the upper limb. The splint is one of the most assistive tools in the rehabilitation of such individuals. The supportive and corrective functions provided by upper limb and hand splints have been shown to inhibit spasticity and promote the capabilities of the upper limb in individuals with stroke This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of spiral strapping on inhibition of spasticity and improving upper limb functions in individuals with chronic stroke. ;
