A study on the effectiveness of motor relearning programme to improve balance in right side hemiparesis patients

AIM OF THE STUDY : The aim of the study is to find out the relative effectiveness of Motor relearning programme to improve balance in patients with right side hemiparesis. OBJECTIVES : 1. To find out the effectiveness of motor relearning programme to improve balance in right side hemiparesis patients. 2. To find out the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy to improve balance in right side hemiparesis patients. 3. Relative effectiveness of motor relearning programme over conventional physiotherapy to improve balance in right side hemiparesis patients. STUDY DESIGN: 30 patients are selected from the stroke population using convenient sampling technique. Experimental pre test – post test design comparative in nature. Measurement fool: Berg Balance Scale. Materials used - 1. Stop watch, 2. Ruler, 3. Two chairs used of reasonable height. (One with arm support and one without arm support.), 4. Book, 5. Step. RESULT: there is significant improvement in balance in right side hemiparesis patients following motor relearning programme. Thus rejecting the null hypothesis i.e., there is no significance in the effectiveness of motor relearning programme in right side hemiparesis patients to improve balance. CONCLUSION : Motor relearning programme caused in improvement in balance in right side hemiparesis patients. It was shown that both MRP and Conventional physiotherapy have effect on balance in stroke patients though MRP shown better improvement in balance in right side hemiparesis patients. Thus MRP treatment protocol can act as valuable, alternative in the rehabilitation of the stroke patients with right side hemiparesis stroke
