Abstract:
Purpose: To identify functional recovery of affected upper limb patient followed by stroke.
Objective: To explore the improvement level of affected upper arm function, to identify the
functional outcome of affected hand movement activities, to assess the advanced hand
activities of affected side and to analyze the information among independent variables and
dependent variable. Methodology: The study design was cross sectional. Total 5o samples
were selected by purposive sampling from inpatient of Centre of the Rehabilitation of the
Paralysed (CRP). Data was collected by mixed type questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were
used data analysis which focused through pie chart and bar chart. Upper limb functions
(upper arm function, hand movements and advanced hand activities) measured by Motor
Assessment Scale (MAS). Then the performance score measured of stroke patients. The
expected outcome is, may be maximal improvement of functional recovery of hemiplegic
upper limb or not. My target is to minimize the limitation of functional outcome by proper
physiotherapy treatment and improve patient activities of daily living. Conclusion: This study
find out upper limb functional outcome of stroke patients and highlighted that without proper
physiotherapy treatment the proper recovery of stroke patients cannot achieve.
