Journal Title: Indian Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Study of effectiveness of shoulder elbow wrist hand orthosis in the management of glenohumeral subluxation in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Design: Randomised control trial. Setting: Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal. Participants: Post-stroke hemiplegic patients (n=120) having glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) as confirmed by x-ray. Duration: One and half years (August 2010 to January 2012). Intervention: Control group (n=60) received routine rehabilitation programme for hemiplegic practice in the Department of PMR, RIMS while the experiment group (n=60) received shoulder elbow wrist hand orthosis in addition to rehabilitation programme. Outcomes: Grade of glenohumeral subluxation using x-ray. Results: Experiment group showed reduction in the glenohumeral subluxation which is statistically significant when compared to control group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Use of upper limb orthosis in addition to routine rehabilitation programme can effectively reduce glenohumeral subluxation in post-stroke hemiplegic patients
