PHD THESIS WORK

Topic-Effectiveness of “Trunk Dissociation Re-Trainer” (TDR) as a Tool in trunk rehabilitation in adult hemiplegia

The aim of the study was to find the effectiveness of TDR, which was first of its kind, as a tool in retraining trunk dissociation in adult hemiplegia. The TDR was standardized using 4 phases of the research work. Phase 1 dealt with standardization of TDR for safety and comfort, phase 2found the effectiveness of TDR as a tool in improving trunk performances, balance, gait velocity, reaching, and functional activities in hemiplegic subjects. Phase 3evaluated the effectiveness of TDR training in improving weight transmission through hemiplegic lower limb. Phase 4assessed the follow up of the improvement gained following conventional, Manual trunk dissociation training and TDR training after 6 months of intervention period after phase II. From this study, it is concluded that TDR is a safe and effective tool for training trunk dissociation patterns in hemiplegic rehabilitation. TDR can be used as an effective replacement for the existing manual methods of training trunk dissociation, for a better and faster rehabilitation of hemiplegic subjects.
