Abstract
Stroke is a "neurological deficit attributed to an acute focal injury of the central nervous system by a vascular cause. Stroke is the second leading cause of death (11.6% of total death globally) and the major cause of disability globally, affecting >80 million survivors. As the individuals with stroke have various degree of disabilities depending upon the site being affected by CVA. The primary goal for the stroke survivors are to prevent them from disabilities, regain motor control and make them functionally independent to improve their quality of life. Two modern techniques including CIMT and Bobath is used as a treatment technique in the rehabilitation of stroke patients and is practiced in several countries. To assess the efficacy of Bobath technique and constrain induced movement therapy in improving motor function and functional independence in stroke survivors. To compare the outcomes of Bobath technique and constraint induced movement therapy in terms of motor recovery and functional independence in stroke survivors. A comparative effectiveness systematic review was conducted. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the modern techniques and their effect in stroke rehabilitation. The data was collected by searching five different databases. A total of four trials were eligible for this systematic review. The quality of the eligible studies were assessed through PEdro scale. The four trials consist of a total of 273 patients of either sex. Age of the subjects participated in the trial was 40 years and above. We compared two modern techniques including CIMT and Bobath. Numerous outcome measures were used in these four studies including Fugl‐meyer assessment (FMA), Action research arm test (ARAT), graded wolf motor function test (GWMFT) and motor activity log ( MAL), Jebsen Taylor hand function test (JTHFT), trunk impairment scale (TIS) and berg balance test (BBT). Both the techniques showed improvement in patients with stroke but CIMT showed better results than Bobath NDT in stroke rehabilitation. As per current systematic review which compared Bobath NDT to CIMT in stroke rehabilitation. Both the treatment protocols were found to be effective and made significant improvements in both experimental and control groups. But CIMT was found to be more effective than Bobath (NDT).
