Treatment | Sensory inputs | Rationale | Sensory outcome | Result1 |
Bobath | Visual, verbal and tactile | Neurophysiology concept (emphasis on selective movement and postural control by key points of the body, with problem-solving training) | None | UL (-), LL (-) |
Brunnstrom | Visual and cutaneous | Neurophysiology (an ordered, predictable, stepwise progression from initial flaccidity to stereotypical synergy and then to normal patterns of voluntary movements) | None | NA |
PNF | Visual, tactile, verbal and proprioceptive | Neurophysiology concept (through the stimulation or relaxation of muscle groups combined with various sensory inputs in response to specific movement patterns to promote functional movement) | None | NA |
Motor relearning | Visual, tactile and auditory | Neuropsychology (Active practice of context-specific motor task with well-designed motor and sensory components ) | None | NA [UL (-) and LL (-) motor control with 3 RCTs] |
Treatment | Sensory modality | Rationale | Sensoryoutcome | Result1 |
Electrical stimulation | Proprioceptive and tactile | Neurophysiology/neuropsychology | Yes (+) | UL (+) for motor control, LL (+) for gait ability |
Robotic therapy | Visual, auditory and proprioceptive | Neurophysiology/neuropsychology | None | UL (+) for motor control |
Virtual reality | Visual and auditory | Neuropsychology | None | NA [UL (+/-) motor control with RCTs] |
Intermittent compression | Tactile and proprioceptive | Neurophysiology | Yes (+) | NA [UL (+) motor control with RCTs] |
CIMT | Visual and verbal | Neuropsychology | None | UL (+) |
PBWSTT | Visual and proprioceptive | Neurophysiology/neuropsychology | None | LL (+) motor and gait function |
Thermal stimulation | Hot and cold agent | Neurophysiology/neuropsychology | Yes (+) | NA [UL/LE (+) motor control with 5 RCTs] |
