Aim and Objective: Stroke is classified as a neurological condition brought on by a vascular brain damage or malformation that happens when there is inadequate blood flow to the brain. It mainly affects posture, balance, reflexes, muscle tone, and body movement and muscle coordination. The study's goal was to find out how well a motor relearning program worked for stroke patients' gross motor function compared to traditional management.
Methods: Among the selected 20 subjects, 10 subjects are involved in Group-A were performed Motor Relearning Program and remaining 10 subjects are involved in group-B were performed Traditional Management. Subjects are selected through the method of simple randomized sampling method. Patients treated for 3 Sessions/week for 2 months in Outpatient Physiotherapy department at ACS Medical College and Hospital.
Result: Among stroke patients, a comparison of Groups A and B revealed a significant difference in effectiveness on motor function (P value >0.0001). With a difference of 43.38 and 1.50 over 27.69 and 0.650, respectively, in the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS), Group A with the Motor Relearning Program was found to be more effective than Group B with Traditional Management.
Conclusion: Motor Relearning Program is best method for improvement of on Gross motor function in Subjects with Stroke.
