dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the effects of eight weeks Hand Ergometry Training Programme on Cardiovascular Variables and Grip Strength of Neurological Patients in the Experimental and Control Groups. The participants were sixteen neurological patients attending physical rehabilitation in Ageless Physiotherapy Clinic, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria. Age ranged from 50-74 years. Purposive sampling technique was used in selecting the participants. Informed consent form was given to the participants. The participants in the experimental group were subjected to ergometry training exercises lasting twenty minutes, performed three times a week, while those in the control group did not undergo any training programme. Data were collected on the cardiovascular and hand grip tests on experimental and control groups. The data collected was analyzed with descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). There were significant differences in the systolic blood pressure (Fi, 13 = 23.878., P < 0.05), left hand grip strength (Fi, 13 = 86.846, P < !0.05), right hand grip strength (Fi, 13 ~ 40.797, P < 0.05) and no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (Fi, 13 = 4.053, P > 0.05} of the experimental and control groups. To ascertain where the significant differences occur, estimated marginal mean was used. It was found that significant differences existed between experimental and control groups. It is concluded that ergometry training programme has effect on the cardiovascular variables and hand grip strength of neurological patients. It is recommended that neurological patients should participate in hand ergometry upper limb exercises, two to three times a week.en_US
