Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Lower Limb Motor Function

Stroke, described as a neurological deficit caused by the interruption of cerebral blood flow, is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. It is the second most common medical condition and the major cause of disability in adults. Recovery following stroke revolves around the severity of sensory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Lower extremity impairment is one of the major post-stroke conditions which can cause difficulty in performing activities of daily living, gait abnormalities, increased risk of fall, and restriction in social participation. Rehabilitation after stroke is the primary mechanism through which it can achieve functional recovery and independence, which is based on the principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity.
