The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of a 4 week Motor Relearning Programme (MRP) on physical performance and weight bearing on the lower limbs in sitting position in post stroke hemiparetics.

Methodology

Ten subjects with at least 3 months post stroke were assigned in a single group by convenient sampling. All the subjects participated in MRP. Amount of lower limbs weight bearing was measured before and after training by weighing machine and physical performance by using Fugl Meyer Assessment scale.

Results

A mean improvement in physical performance after MRP was 52.00± 19.629 and the ‘t’ value of 8.377 was observed in the study with p<0.05. A mean improvement in weight bearing in involved and uninvolved value of AD, ID, CD after MRP was 3.400±3.134, 1.700±0.674, 7.800±2.485, 4.700±3.267, 4.400±2.547 and 0.000±1.247 and the ‘t’ value of 3.431, 7.965, 9.924, 4.548, 5.462, 0.000 was observed in this study with p<0.05 respectively.

Conclusion

This study provides evidence for the efficacy of MRP on physical performance and weight bearing on the lower limbs in sitting position in post stroke hemiparetic subjects.
