Abstract
Background : Stroke is a common CVA problem that resulting in multiple gait disorders and subsequence disturbance of different gait parameters, so this study might be a guide in managing gait problems and consequently improve walking with less exertion and maximum function. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of Constraint Induced Therapy on Gait Parameters in Stroke patients. Methods: Thirty chronic stroke patients of both sexes had participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into two equal groups Study group (GA) and Control group (GB) with the age range from 45-60 years old. (GA) consisted of 15 patients (13 males, 2 females) received constraint induced therapy with conventional physical therapy program, (GB) consisted of 15 patients (13 males, 2 females) received only the conventional program 3 times per week every other day for 8 weeks, (24) sessions. Patients were evaluated for gait parameters pre and post treatment. Results: The result revealed that there was significant improvement in gait parameters for (GA) than that for (GB). Conclusion: Eight weeks rehabilitation program focus on lower limb constraint induced therapy with the conventional physical therapy program was more effective in improvement of gait parameters than application of conventional physical therapy only
