The correlation between modified ashworth scale and fugl meyer assessment scale in chronic stroke rehabilitation using neurodynamics
Author(s): Nafeesa Zamurd*
Background: Spasticity is common in upper motor neuron disorder. Obligatory synergies develop in stroke which affects functional mobility. Associated reactions can occur in stroke patients with strong spasticity and synergies which affect functional activity especially in the upper extremity.
Objective: To determine correlation of modified ashworth scale (MAS) and fugl Meyer assessment scale (FMA) used to assess spasticity and upper extremity performance in chronic stroke patients.
Methods: It was a randomized control trial. 41 stroke patients were recruited for the study. Data was collected from DHQ Hospital Jhelum. To control group conventional treatment and to experimental group conventional treatment with neurodynamics was applied, 10 rep/ set, 1set/ day, 3 days/week for 6 weeks. 0, 3rd and 6th week assessment ..
