1.       Synergy based motor therapy program for Stroke patients (July 2015 to September 2016).

3.        		 Synergy, working together of muscles in a coordinated fashion, is a normal neurophysiological mechanism.  Abnormal stereotyped motor behaviour appears in post stroke hemiparesis patients. Facilitation of normal synergy and dissociation of abnormal synergy may influence motor recovery. The application of synergy concept in stroke rehabilitation is sparse.
Setting: Rehabilitation Institute
Participants: 50 (29 males, 40 to 60 years, 28 ischemic) chronic poststroke hemiparetic subjects
Design: Pre test post test single group, Phase I trial
Interventions:  Considering the relation between normal and abnormal synergies, a motor therapy protocol using various tasks / activities was developed. Synergistic movements were selected on the basis of quality, quantity and association of the available movements. For example, shoulder external rotation with elbow extension was utilized to dissociate strong elbow flexion.
Outcome measures:  Fugl-Meyer Assessment (Upper Extremity)(FMA-UE) - to assess the voluntary motor control, mRS scale and Barthel Index to measure functional use of the upper limb.
Results:  The motor rehabilitation protocol using synergy concept was feasible among all the participants and across all the stages of motor recovery. Post-intervention subjects exhibited significant (p=0.02) change on FMA-UE (37.75+ 16.93 to 42.5+19.37).
Conclusion:  Synergy based motor rehabilitation is beneficial in improving motor and functional recovery in stroke patients. The utilization of synergistic linkage should be explored in stroke rehabilitation.

6.        		 In India, stroke incidence has been registering an upward trend in the last few decades. Disability due to motor impairment of the limbs is the most common and challenging manifestation of stroke. Interlimb coordination, a relative timing of events between the four limbs during functional performance gets hampered after stroke. In spite of motor recovery, the post stroke hemiparetic subjects are not able to use their limbs in daily tasks efficiently; thus, increasing their disability level.
There is a neural cross talk between 2 brain hemispheres modulates task-specific actions, leading to a complex intra- & interlimb joint interaction. The concept can be explored and utilized in stroke rehabilitation.
The intervention based on the principles of interlimb coordination and coupling found to be feasible for stroke subjects. The regime comprises movements of either upper limbs or lower limbs or all 4 limbs using various therapeutic devices. The movements may be provide in various combination of the upper and lower limbs such as bilateral, ipsilateral, contralateral, symmetrical, and asymmetrical.
In a randomized controlled trail on 50 subjects, the interlimb coupling program exhibited significant improvement of motor recovery of the upper and lower limbs as measured by Fugl-Meyer assessment [p< 0.001; 95% CI mean of difference   = 8.83 (7.60 – 10.06)]. The gait deviation on Rivermead Visual gait assessment reduces significantly [p< 0.001; 95% CI of mean difference = 6.32 (7.51 – 5.13)]. 50% of the experimental subject could reach to the highest level of functional ambulation. 15% experimental-participants demonstrated considerable change of disability level (Modified ranking scale 2 from stage 3 or 4) in comparison to the controls.
In summary, the interlimb coupling based stroke rehabilitation may enhance motor recovery and functional ambulation while reducing gait deviation and level of disability. The concept may be incorporated in post stroke management.
