Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of adding augmented cues to conventional physical therapy intervention on hand function in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. Fifty patients with subacute ischemic stroke will be randomly assigned to either a study group receiving augmented cue-based training in addition to conventional physical therapy or a control group receiving conventional physical therapy alone. Hand function will be assessed before and after the intervention period using the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT), hand grip strength measured by a dynamometer, and pressure pain threshold measured by a pressure algometer. The findings of this study may provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of augmented cue-based rehabilitation strategies in improving hand function after stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional physical therapy

Participants will receive a conventional physical therapy program for upper limb and hand rehabilitation after stroke. The program includes stretching exercises, range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, and task-oriented hand training. Treatment will be provided three times per week for eight weeks (24 sessions).

DEVICE

musicgloves training

MusicGlove is a sensor-based rehabilitation device that provides augmented visual, auditory, and performance feedback during task-specific hand exercises. Participants perform repetitive thumb-to-finger opposition and grasping movements synchronized with computer-based musical activities. Training will be provided in addition to conventional physical therapy three times per week for eight weeks.
