Abstract Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease affects the skin and peripheral nerves, leading to progressive physical disability if not diagnosed and treated early. Disability of hand effects on the activities of daily living so that testing and improving the dexterity of hand comes as major rehabilitation approach while treating the disease.
Aim: To study the effect of roods approach technique on dexterity of hand in grade1 disability in leprosy.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of roods approach technique on dexterity of hand for grade 1 disability in leprosy.
Methodology:
The study was done to determine the effect of roods approach on dexterity of hand for grade1 disability in leprosy. In the study, 30 patients were participated who were affected with leprosy grade 1 disability. The patients were assessed with sensory assessment and tested with eight dexterity tests to check the hand dexterity. Then they were received roods approach technique, 5 days in a week for 4 weeks. Then again patients were tested with the same dexterity tests. At the end of the study the data was analyzed and compared statistically by using paired t-test.
Result: The statistical data were shown the comparison of mean values of all dexterity tests, pre and post treatment along with their standard deviation. The values were compared within the group by applying paired t –test. It shows there is improvement in the dexterity of hand with
P < 0.0001 after application of sensory motor integration technique.
Conclusion-Based on the statistical analysis and interpretations, the roods approach techniques were found significantly effective on improving the dexterity of hand in leprosy.
