| Abstract: | Hemiplegia is complete or nearly complete
paralysis on one side of the body. Hemiplegia constitutes the main
somatoneurological disorder in about 90% of patients with stroke. Its incidence
increases markedly with advancing age.
The objective of the study was to enable individual patients to achieve their
full potential and to maximize the benefits from dalak (massage), riyazat
(exercise) and Unani medicines, in order to attain the highest possible degree
of physical and psychological performance. Randomized controlled clinical trial
was conducted in National institute of unani medicine hospital. Sixty patients
20 in each group were completed the study. Moderate massage was performed on
patients in group A with Roghane Qust (A
Unani pharmacopoeal preparation), group B patients were rehabilitated with
exercise and Group-C patients were treated with conventional unani medicine
using munzij (concoction) and mushil
(purgation) therapy followed by muqawwi aasab (nerve tonic). Group-A
showed 10.55, group B 9.11, group C 3.25 mean functional gain in Fugl- Meyer
upper limb score. Group A showed 16.25, Group-B
20.45, group C 10.60 means functional gain in FIM score. Massage has major
effect in improvement of upper limb score. Exercise has significant effect in ambulatory profile and rehabilitation of
gait. As unani drugs also showed improvement, the combination of Massage Exercise and conventional Unani drug
treatment promises to play an important role in rehabilitation of Hemiplegia
patients.
