About this trial
Stroke is a focal neurological deficit of sudden onset, with symptoms lasting more than 24 hours leading to consequences like impacting physical abilities, cognitive functions and emotional well-being, speech and language difficulties. Among various rehabilitation program, Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy with low intensity resistance training has shown its promising results. Blood flow restriction training, also called Kaatsu, originated in Japan. So this study aims to determine the combined effects of Low Intensity Resistance Training with Blood Flow Restriction Therapy on Upper Limb Strength, Forward Reach and Sensorimotor function in Post-Stroke Patients.
