Stroke, Acute, SubacuteAbstract
Background: Post-stroke survivors experience motor impairments and poor arm recovery, necessitating early rehabilitation. Robot-assisted therapy is being explored for improved outcomes, but is not feasible for all clinics. So this review aims at different effective UE rehabilitation interventions.
Method: This study aimed to identify relevant articles on UE, acute and subacute stroke & Rehabilitation using search engines- Google Scholar, PubMed, Scihub from year 2019-2023 focusing on published articles in indexed journals,English language and UL rehabilitation among acute and subacute stroke patients.
Result: Eleven studies, including 10 randomized control trials and 1 systematic reviews, found that various techniques like Robotics Assisted Therapy ,CIMT, EMG biofeedback, and Mirror therapy improved motor control, functional independence, and muscle tone.
Conclusion: Limited resources in rehabilitation centers and clinics hinder intensive treatment, reducing stroke patients' recovery. Other techniques may improve functional independence, muscle tone, and quality of life.
Keywords: Stroke, acute, subacute, upper extremity, Early rehabilitation.
