Impact of Motor Relearning Program on Balance Among MCA Stroke Patients

Abstract

Background: One of the main causes of permanent impairment in the globe is stroke. Impaired balance is a common consequence of Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) strokes, which raises the risk of falls and decreases independence. A task-specific technique called the Motor Relearning Program (MRP) aims to promote functional recovery. The study's goal is to assess how well the Motor Relearning Program improves balance in MCA stroke patients. Methodology: MCA stroke patients were the subjects of a pre-post interventional investigation. For [duration was 4 weeks], participants participated in MRP sessions five days a week. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Functional Reach Test (FRT) were used to measure balance both before and after the intervention. Results: BBS ratings improved from before to after the intervention in a statistically significant way with mean difference = 42.8, p < 0.05. Additionally, there was a substantial rise in FRT scores with mean difference = 23.7, p < 0.05 and Mental State Examination also found improved with mean difference = 27.1, p < 0.05 Conclusion: The Motor Relearning Program helps MCA stroke patients become more balanced, which may lower their risk of falling and increase their level of functional independence.
