ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was understanding the conventional physical therapy for improving the upper extremity functions of spastic ischemic stroke. This is a literature study with book, articles and papers. We consider the upper extremity function of spastic ischemic stroke can be improved with physical therapy which can promote healing process. So as to improve the upper extremity functions of the patient, a systematic approach of various methods is required.
