Abstract

Background: According to the study by Jong hoon moon et al (2018), the task specific circuit training group exhibited noteworthy advancements in terms of motor activity utilization compared to neurodevelopment treatment group, suggesting a significant recovery. The use of therapeutic tools may have a beneficial effect on the utilization of enhance their motor function and abilities in their arms and hands. Aim Of The Study: To assess the effect of neuroplasticity with task specific circuit training on functional activities of upper limb among acute stroke patients. Objectives Of The Study: To assess the effect of task specific circuit training on motor changes of upper limb. To assess the effect of task specific circuit training on functional activities of upper limb. Methodology: This study consists 30 samples of acute stroke patients were divided into 2 groups. Group A (experimental group) has 15 samples Group B (control group) has 15 samples. Task specific circuit training was given to group A and conventional physiotherapy were given to group B for the duration of 8 weeks. Pre and post values of CAHAI-13 (Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory scale) and Fugl meyer (upper extremity) were taken. Result: The Pre and post test values of Task specific circuit training in Chedoke arm and hand activity inventory scale(CAHAI-13) and Fugl meyer (upper extremity) showed significant improvement in functional activities of acute stroke patients. Conclusion: Neuroplasticity with task specific circuit training was effective on functional activities of upper limb among acute stroke patients.
