Task-based mirror therapy enhances ipsilesional motor functions in stroke: A pilot study.

Objective: To examine the effect of Mirror therapy (MT) on dexterity, coordination, and muscle strength of the less-affected upper limb in stroke.

Design: Pre-test post-test, single group, experimental design.

Setting: Rehabilitation institute.

Role of Interferential Therapy in Children with Fecal Incontinence Postanorectal Malformation Surgeries.

Background: Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of the most common pediatric surgical problems dealt in day-to-day practice. Although the outcome of surgery has improved a great deal over the last three decades fecal incontinence (FI) is still a common long-term morbidity that affects the quality of life of these patients. Bowel wash (BW) program with pelvic floor exercise are standard care of management for these patients.

Minimal clinically important difference of the lower-extremity fugl-meyer assessment in chronic-stroke.

Background: The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID), the smallest difference in the treatment outcome, augments both clinical and research practice. The MCID of the Fugl-Meyer assessment: Lower extremity (FMA-LE), an important motor measure in stroke, is not known.

Objective: To estimate MCID score of FMA-LE using an anchor-based approach in chronic poststroke hemiparetic (>6 months) stroke subjects.

Development, validity and reliability of the 'Sitting Balance Measure' (SBM) in spinal cord injury.

Study Design: This is a methodological research design.

Objectives: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may result in the inability to sit unsupported. This may lead to difficulty performing daily living activities.

Task-Based Mirror Therapy Augmenting Motor Recovery in Poststroke Hemiparesis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: To establish the effect of the task-based mirror therapy (TBMT) on the upper limb recovery in stroke.

Methods: A pilot, randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded trial was conducted in a rehabilitation institute. A convenience sample of 33 poststroke (mean duration, 12.

Does the motor level of the paretic extremities affect balance in poststroke subjects?

Background. Poststroke impairment may lead to fall and unsafe functional performance. The underlying mechanism for the balance dysfunction is unclear.
