Comparative Effects of Task-Oriented Training and Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy on Gross and Fine Motor Skills of Upper Limb and Activities of Daily Living in Post-Stroke Patients
Stroke is a rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (or global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than a vascular origin. Among various rehabilitation strategies, Task-oriented training of low to moderate intensity and Hand-Arm bimanual intensive therapy have shown their promising results in stroke rehabilitation. So, this study aims to determine the comparative effects of Task-oriented and Hand-Arm bimanual intensive therapy on Gross and Fine motor skills of Upper Limb and Activities of Daily Living in Post-Stroke Patients.
