• W2886732029 abstract "STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM : An Experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy upon Motor Function of Upper Extremity among Stroke Patients at Selected Hospitals, Chennai.OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY :1. To assess the level of motor function of upper extremity before and after mirror therapy in the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients.2. To determine the effectiveness of the mirror therapy by comparing the motor function of upper extremity between the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients.3. To assess the satisfaction regarding mirror therapy in the experimental group of stroke patients.4. To find out the association between the demographic variables and the motor function of upper extremity among the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients.5. To find out the association between the clinical variables and the motor function of the upper extremity among the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients.The conceptual framework of the present study was based on Myra Levine’s Energy Conservation Model (1967), which was modified for the present study.The study variables were Mirror Therapy and the Motor Function of the upper extremity among stroke patients.A quasi experimental study was conducted to achieve the objectives of the study. The present study was conducted at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai. The study subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique. The study included 30 subjects from Apollo Main Hospital and 30 subjects from Apollo Specialty Hospital who satisfied the inclusion criteria.An extensive review of literature and guidance from experts laid the foundation for the investigator for developing demographic variable proforma, clinical variable proforma in order to obtain the baseline data by interview method. The researcher also used the observation checklist Fugl-Meyer upper extremity motor function assessment tool for stroke patients and rating scale to assess the satisfaction of mirror therapy. The data collection tools were validated and reliability was established. After confirming the feasibility and research ability through pilot study, the data for main study was conducted during a period of six weeks. The collected data was analyzed by using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics.MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY :• In the age group between 36-50 years, there were 36.66% of stroke patients are equally distributed, most of them were males (70%, 63.33%)and (43.33%, 43.33%) were employed in the control group and the experimental group respectively.• Findings also revealed that, there was no statistically significant differencebetween the control group and the experimental group with regard to demographic variables of the patients such as age, gender, occupation and educational status indicating the homogeneity of the groups.• Most of the stroke patients were diagnosed to have ischemic stroke (63%, 63.33%) with duration of illness 1-4 months (33.33%, 26.66%), smokers (66.66%, 43.33%) and (30%, 43.33%) were alcoholics, (30%, 30%) had comorbid illness in the control group and in the experimental group respectively.• The motor function of the upper extremity in the control group was not adequate (100%) during the pretest and remained the same (100%) during the posttest also, whereas in the experimental group the motor functionwas moderately adequate (26.66%) during the posttest when compared to(3.33%) during pretest among stroke patients.• There was no significant difference between pretest (M=16.03, SD=3.36) and posttest (M=16.8, SD=4.18) in motor function of upper extremity among stroke patients in the control group, whereas there was statistically significant difference between pretest (M=16.26, SD=4.99) and posttest (M=19.8, SD=5.33) in motor function of upper extremity among stroke patients in the experimental group at p<0.01 level.• There was no significant difference in the motor function of upper extremity during pretest between the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients, whereas there was statistically significant difference in posttest between the control group (M=16.8, SD=4.18) and the experimental group (M=17.93, SD=5.99). The posttest motor function was higher in the experimental group than in the control group, significant at p<0.05 level. Hence the null hypothesis H01 stating that, there will be no significant difference in the motor function of upper extremity before and after mirror therapy in the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients was rejected.• Majority of the stroke patients undergoing mirror therapy in the experimental group were highly satisfied with the demonstration of mirror therapy (93.33%), the effectiveness of therapy (90%) and approach of researcher (93.33%).• There was no significant association between the demographic variables namely age, gender, occupation, educational status with motor function of upper extremity in stroke patients. Hence the null hypothesis H02 stating that, there will be no significant association between the demographic variables and motor function of upper extremity before and after mirror therapy in the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients was retained.• There was no significant association between the clinical variables namely types of stroke, side affected with stroke, duration of illness, comorbidities, history of smoking, history of alcoholism, and motorfunction of the upper extremity in stroke patients. Hence the null hypothesis H03 stating that, there will be no significant association between the clinical variables and motor function of upper extremity before and after mirror therapy in the control group and the experimental group of stroke patients was retained.RECOMMENDATIONS :A similar study could be undertaken on larger scale for more valid generalization.• The present study could be replicated in different settings.• Similar study can be conducted to improve the lower extremity motor function among stroke patients.• A study could be conducted to assess the sensory function of stroke patients after mirror therapy.• Study can be conducted to compare the effectiveness of mirror therapy with other interventions upon upper extremity motor function among stroke patients.• A study could be conducted to assess the level of knowledge of nurses on mirror therapy." @default.
