ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Adults who suffer from strokes are most often disabled and it is the third biggest mortality cause. Affected individuals with upper extremity damage make up about one-third of all stroke victims. The result is a compromise of fundamental daily activities. Numerous variables affect one's capacity to carry out functional duties. Elbow Flexor Tone, Elbow Flexor Strength, and Handgrip Strength are three variables that determine the association between upper extremity functional outcome in stroke patients who are recuperating. Weakness and Strength are two further critical elements.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the functional outcome of the upper extremities in recovering stroke patients by measuring the tone, strength, and grip of the elbow flexors.
METHOD: About 60 stroke patients who met the eligibility requirements were recruited for the study. At the time of discharge, the Modified Ashworth Scale was used to assess elbow flexor tone, a hand-held dynamometer was used to assess elbow flexor strength, and a jamar dynamometer was used to assess handgrip strength in the affected upper extremity. Action Research Arm Tex (ARAT) was used to evaluate the functional outcome of the affected upper extremity in stroke patients who were recovering from their illness. Regular physiotherapy was administered to patients in the meantime.
Keywords:
Dynamometer of Handgrip Strength Stroke, ARAT, and Upper Extremity Functional Outcome.
