Summary

Attention and hand dexterity are interdependent, with deficits in one often worsening the other. Post-stroke, reduced attention impairs hand dexterity, hindering daily activities, while poor hand function further limits attentional focus. Despite progress in rehabilitation, strategies addressing both remain limited. Purpose: This study explored the impact of incentive-based attention training on hand dexterity in stroke patients.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Physical Therapy for Hand Dexterity in Stroke Patients

Standard physical therapy program for stroke patients targeting hand dexterity. Conducted 3 times/week for 8 weeks (60 min/session), exercises included wrist and forearm movements, object manipulation, ball gripping, and putty-based hand strengthening.

BEHAVIORAL

Rehacom Attention Training + Physical Therapy

Combined intervention: 30 minutes of computerized attention training using the Rehacom system, followed by 30 minutes of standard hand dexterity physical therapy. Conducted 3 times/week for 8 weeks. Rehacom provided task-based cognitive training with visual, auditory, and performance feedback in a controlled lab setting.
