Detailed Description

This study will be conducted to investigate the effects of mobile applications of dexterity fine motor skills on hand dexterity and grip strength in chronic stroke patients. Data will be collected from Jinnah hospital Lahore and Riphah Rehabilitation center Lahore. All 22 patients will be taken using random sampling. Both study groups will be given common treatment of conventional hand function. The subjects will randomly assign to the experiment group with mobile apps training and the control group without mobile app training. Mobile applications like Dexteria, ScribbleKid, PegLight and Bowling game will be used for the purpose of training and success rate will be considered as outcome measure. Test and tools include the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT), the Fugl-Meyer Motor assessment (FMA), The Box & Block Test (BBT), and Grip strength will be assessed using a hand dynamometer. SPSS 25 version will be used for data entry and analysis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: app based training with conventional therapy
In experimental group app based training will be performed along with conventional hand fine motor skills and dexterity therapy.
Other: app based training with conventional therapy
The experimental group will receive an additional mobile application therapy including , dexterity fine motor skills, bowling game, scribble game and peglight game in addition to the conventional therapy for hand function.
Active Comparator: conventional therapy
The control group will receive conventional hand function rehabilitation therapy including, strengthening exercises which consist of palm down wrist flexion exercise, dexterity( shifting exercise) and fine motor skills(nine peg hole exercise)
Other: conventional therapy
conventional hand function rehabilitation therapy including, strengthening exercises which consist of palm down wrist flexion exercise, dexterity( shifting exercise) and fine motor skills(nine peg hole exercise)
