Summary

This interventional study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Cognitive multi-sensory rehabilitation (CMR) on upper limb function and fatigue in chronic stroke patients. The main question is:

• Does cognitive multi-sensory rehabilitation significantly affect upper limb function and fatigue in stroke patients? Participants will be assigned into two groups. They will receive 12 sessions of study group CMR and traditional physical therapy and control group traditional physical Therapy rehabilitation. CMR 40 minutes immediately followed by 20 minutes of selected physical therapy program, three sessions per week for four weeks.

Interventions

OTHER

Cognitive multi-sensory Rehabilition

Kinetic awareness: Initially, only one joint will be moved at a time. Then the therapist will reposition the joint and ask the participants to report their perception of the joint position. Initially, the participants will distinguish between just two positions. If they reliably answer correctly, increase up to five points and integrate speed and dexterity in functional movements. Participants will be asked to relax and feel the movement during this training. Discrimination exercise: The therapist places a part of the participant's limb, the fingertip, on an external object (a block) and the participant will be asked to actively move his or her limb over the object and try to sense the shape of the object. If the participants differentiate between the two objects, then increase the number of objects (up to five). Functional training: The patient reaches toward many objects functionally (cup, ball, cane) from different angles, holds them, and relocates them again.

OTHER

selected traditional physical therapy program.

The selected physical therapy program session will be occupational therapy training for the hand, strengthening exercises for the weak upper limb stretching exercises for short upper limb muscles, balance exercise, and gait training.
