Summary

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke is defined as "rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (or global) disturbance of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than of vascular origin". By applying this definition, transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is defined to last less than 24 hours, and patients with stroke symptoms caused by subdural hemorrhage, tumors, poisoning, or trauma, are excluded.Task-oriented training (TOT) involves active training of motor tasks performed within a clear functional context that includes complex whole task or pre-task movements of the whole limb or a limb segment. A high number of repetitions performed within a single session characterizes this training. According to the literature, TOT results in neuroplastic changes and is critical for improving motor and functional recovery. Task-specific training is based fundamentally on the concept that repeated practice results in learning a specific task. There is increasing evidence of neural plastic changes associated with repeated training, and several aspects of rehabilitation entail repetition of movement. Repeated motor practice has been demonstrated to decrease muscle weakness and spasticity and form the physiological foundation of motor learning. Repeated practice of challenging movement tasks results in larger brain representations of the practiced movement.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

conventional therapy

The conventional group will receive active and passive range of motion exercises, balance, and strength training for upper and lower limbs. One session per day, three sessions/week for total of 12 weeks.

OTHER

Task oriented training (moderate intensity)

In the moderate-intensity group, patients will perform 100 functional tasks with a total (1000) repetitions. Single session/day, 4 sessions/week for 12 weeks.

OTHER

Task oriented training (high intensity)

In the moderate-intensity group, patients will perform 100 functional tasks with a total (1000) repetitions. Two sessions/day, 5 sessions/week for 12 weeks.
