CO-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMPAIRED COORDINATION AND FINGER DEXTERITY WITH UPPER LIMB ACTIVITY IN CHRONIC STROKE PATIENTS

To study co-relationship between impaired coordination and finger dexterity with upper limb activity in chronic stroke patients. Materials and Methods Upper limb activities was measured or evaluated with the help of chedoke arm hand activity inventory (CAHAI) and motor activity log (MAL) and impairment was measured with purdue peg board. Results Results of our study show that capacity of paretic upper limb in the completion of ADL’s and participant performance in ADL’s had strong correlationship. The impaired coordination and finger dexterity had weak correlationship with the capacity of the paretic upper limb in completion of ADL’s. These results show that participants has weak significant correlationship between impaired coordination and finger dexterity with subject’s capacity of the paretic upper limb in the completion of activities of daily living. The results of the study found no correlation between the quality of movement and the amount of use with impaired coordination and finger dexterity. Conclusion In our study we obtained clinical significant correlationship and weak statistical significance between impaired coordination and finger dexterity with upper limb activity in chronic stroke patients.
