Abstract Introduction: Brain damage or stroke can lead to severe physical and mental health problems and impact human quality of life. One of the most important rehabilitation goals is maintaining hand functional activities in stroke subjects. Stroke survivors have some degree of upper limb impairment, up to 80% currently. Objective: This study evaluated the power, coordination and functional activity of the hand for stroke individuals while comparing mirror therapy and neurodevelopmental therapy with stimulation. Methods: 30 participants in the age group of 35 - 60 years were purposefully selected. The Fugl-Meyer score of hand and wrist and the Chedoke Hand Activity Inventory (CHAI) is used to measure hand functional activities of stroke patients. Results: The result of the study shows significant improvement in power, speed, co-ordination and functional activities of the hand in Group A. Mirror therapy with electrical stimulation, and (Group B) neurodevelopment therapy with electrical stimulation at the end of the 4 weeks. Statistical analysis confirmed the average change in Fugl-Meyer score is 8.00 (SD = 11.76) and the Chedoke Hand Activity score is 8.47 (SD = 12.22) in group A. Conclusion: We conclude that the treatment "mirror therapy with electrical stimulation" is more effective than "neurodevelopmental therapy with electrical stimulation" in outcome measures such as the Fugl-Meyer score and the Chedoke Hand Activity Inventory scale.
Keywords Stroke, mirror therapy, neurodevelopmental therapy.
