Does Upper Extremity Proprioceptive Training Have an Impact on Functional Outcomes in Chronic Stroke Patients?

We aimed to investigate the effect of upper extremity proprioceptive training on spasticity and functional motor skills in patients with chronic hemiplegia occurring after stroke. Thirty chronic hemiplegic patients (17 females, mean age: 66.47±12.55 years) admitted to the Research Center with a diag...

Description
Summary:We aimed to investigate the effect of upper extremity proprioceptive training on spasticity and functional motor skills in patients with chronic hemiplegia occurring after stroke. Thirty chronic hemiplegic patients (17 females, mean age: 66.47±12.55 years) admitted to the Research Center with a diagnosis of chronic hemiplegia developed after stroke were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group received a conventional physiotherapy program (PTR) for 5 days a week and the second group additionally received a proprioceptive training program (PTR-PT) for 5 days a week. Before and 6 weeks after the treatment modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer upper extremity motor evaluation scale (FMA) and action-research-arm-test (ARAT) and motor activity log-28 scale (MAL-28) were applied. SSPS-22.0 program was used for statistical evaluation and p 0.05). There was a statistically significant improvement in both PTR (p
