Effectiveness of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy to Improve Lower Extremity Function in the Acute and Subacute Stroke Patients by Providing 1 Hour of Intense Massed Practice in the Form of Shaping or Task Practice, 7 Times Per Week for 2 Weeks.
This is a prospective randomized control trial of patients with unilateral impairment of the
lower extremity after stroke. Patients will be randomized to intervention group and control
group. Intervention group will receive one hour of intense massed practice of lower extremity
either in the form of shaping or task practice. Control group will receive conventional
physical therapy for 1 hour as per current standard of care that follows stroke clinical
practice guideline.
