ABSTRACT: This study was conducted among 30 patients with stroke admitted in selected hospitals. The objectives were to find out the effectiveness of auditory and tactile stimulation technique among patients with stroke to improve the motor function (M.F) and verbal response (V.R). Method: A Quasi-experimental study was conducted with pre test post test research design. Results: In experimental group, the mean the post test motor function and verbal response score was of 9(60%) of them has good motor function and verbal response, 4(27%) of them has moderate motor function and verbal response,2(13%) of them has poor motor function and verbal response. In control group the mean motor function and verbal response score for post test motor function and verbal response score was of 14(93.3%) of them has moderate motor function and verbal response,1(6.7%) of them has poor motor function and verbal response. The auditory and tactile stimulation technique effective was statically checked with mean post test scores between group and has ‘t’ value 4.16 than the table value of 2.78 with d.f. of 28. There was no significant association between the post test motor function and verbal response and their age in years. There was no significant association between the post test motor function and verbal response and their selected risk factors for stroke. Conclusion: The auditory and tactile stimulation technique was significantly effective in improving the motor function and verbal response at earliest among the patient with stroke.
