Summary

Stroke is a clinically defined syndrome characterized by an acute, focal neurological deficit due to vascular damage in the central nervous system. It is the second leading cause of death and disability globally. Stroke is not a singular disease but results from a variety of risk factors, disease processes, and mechanisms. Following a stroke, upper limb (UL) dysfunction affects 40-50% of individuals in the chronic phase, significantly impacting their ability to perform daily tasks. The latest trend in therapy involves the use of mobile video games within rehabilitation programs. These applications leverage the multi-touch interface of mobile devices to provide accurate monitoring of a patient's health status. Many of these mobile games are specifically designed to offer therapeutic tools that enhance dexterity and improve adherence to exercise routines.

  • Chronic Stroke Patients

Interventions

OTHER

Mobile based video games and task based training

The experimental group received a mobile-based applications for 20 minutes and tasks-based training for 20 minutes per day (a total of 40 minutes), 6 days a week for 17 weeks. The time between each game was divided accordingly to work on improving hand function. The games and tasks were divided into three broad categories, Easy, Moderate, Difficult. Each category is applied for 6 weeks
