Study Overview
Brief Summary
Error augmentation techniques are designed to improves functional performance of hand and balance in post stroke patients and this study will check whether these techniques help patients with stroke to get better. This project is about helping people who have had a stroke improve their ability to do everyday activities and feel more confident in managing life on their own. After a stroke, many people find it hard to do simple tasks using hand. Generally, therapy helps by practicing these tasks. All patients in this study will receive conventional occupational performance training. One group will receive only the conventional training, while another group will receive an additional therapy error augmentation along with the conventional training. At the end, both the groups will be compared to see whether error augmentation technique provided additional benefit
