What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

• KinesioTapingProcedure or surgery

  The experimental group will receive the following treatment for week 1-3 (3 days on alternate days):

  • Passive and active ROMs 25 repetitions each, 3 times per week.
  • PNF stretching (hold relax) for spastic muscles for 20 repetitions with a 10 second hold and 10 second relaxation of the muscle group 3 times per week.
  • D1 flexion and extension for 20 repetitions 3 times per week.
  • Kinesio tape 3 times per week. (Anchor opposed to effected compartment to provide facilitation and sustained stretch).

  For week 3-6 the treatment will include:

  • Passive and active ROMs 25 repetitions each, 3 times per week.
  • PNF stretching (hold relax) for spastic muscles for 20 repetitions with a 10 second hold and 10 second relaxation of the muscle group 3 times per week.
  • D1 flexion and extension for 20 repetitions 3 times per week.
  • Strengthening affected muscle groups by resistance training, 3 times per week (using a resistance band of mediu

• ControlProcedure or surgery

  The control group will receive the following treatment for week 1-3 on alternate days:

  • Passive and active ROMs 25 repetitions each, 3 times per week.
  • PNF stretching (hold relax) for spastic muscles for 20 repetitions with a 10 second hold and 10 second relaxation of the muscle group 3 times per week.
  • D1 flexion and extension for 20 repetitions 3 times per week.

  For week 3-6 the treatment will include:

  • Passive and active ROMs 25 repetitions each, 3 times per week.
  • PNF stretching (hold relax) for spastic muscles for 20 repetitions with a 10 second hold and 10 second relaxation of the muscle group 3 times per week.
  • D1 flexion and extension for 20 repetitions 3 times per week.
  • Strengthening affected muscle groups by resistance training, 3 times per week (using a resistance band of medium resistance).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

1. Spasticity

   velocity dependant passive resistance to stretch will be assesed using the modified ashworth scale.

   Measured: 6 weeks

2. Upper limb function

   Upper limb function will be assessed using the wolf motor function test for upper limb.

   Measured: 6 weeks
