Patients, Materials and Methods: This Study involved 67 (48 males and 19 females) individuals diagnosed of stroke by Neurophysician or General Physician with less than 6 months of post stroke duration. Fugl Meyer Motor Assessment Score was (total of upper extremity and lower extremity sub score) was used to assess their post-stroke motor recovery. Their functional recovery was assessed using the Modified Barthel Index. They were assessed on the same day for Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment as well as Modified Barthel Index. Data were analyzed using the Pearson__ampersandsignrsquo;s Moment Correlation and Students__ampersandsignrsquo; paired t-test at p =0.05.&#13;
Results: Patients__ampersandsignrsquo; mean age was 57.52__ampersandsignplusmn; 13.1 years ranging between 17 years and 80 years. Their motor recovery had direct positive relationship (r=0.791, p=0.00) with their functional recovery but there was significant difference (t=13.16, p=0.00) between motor recovery and functional recovery. Mean score of motor recovery by total of Fugl-Meyer Upper extremity __ampersandsignamp; Lower extremity subscore is 54.79 (54.79%) of total 100 score. Mean score of functional recovery by Modified Barthel Index was 14.06 (70.3%) of total 20 score.&#13;
Conclusion: Though Motor recovery has positive impact on the functional recovery in stroke survivors, motor recovery and functional recovery may differ significantly where functional recovery may exceed than motor recovery.&#13;
