Abstract : Background : Hemiparesis is the weakness or inability to move one side of the body, making daily activities difficult. Motor activity (from daily activity) - All activities produced by stimulation of motor neurons, including activity in the gland, as well as activity of body and muscle complaints (American Psychiatric Association). Aim: Effectiveness of conventional exercise on motor functions among patients with hemiparesis admitted in selected hospital, Salem, Tamilnadu. Design: The research design used for the present study was Quasi – experimental design. Participants: 30 hemiplegic patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected by purposive sampling technique. Selection criteria: INCLUSION CRITERIA: patients with hemiparesis => Age group 40 and 70 years, Illness for the duration of less than 2 years,present during the period of data collection, have normal cognitive function,willing to participate in the study, able to understand Tamil or English. Results: The results showed that the average motor test score of the hemiplegic patients in the control group was 24.45 ± 1.42, and the average score of the experimental group was 18.21 ± 1.85. Result: Regular exercise appears to be effective in improving motor function in patients with hemiplegia. Paired t test and unpaired t test showed that regular exercise had an effect on motor function in hemiplegic patients. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, daily exercise appears to be effective in improving motor function in patients with hemiplegia, regardless of demographic differences.
