Effectiveness of Occupation based activity training on Functional Task Performance of Upper Extremity and Quality of Life among individuals with Hemiplegic Stroke.

The study will begin with the recruitment of participants from NIEPMD and Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute. After providing a detailed explanation of the study, informed consent will be obtained from the participants. All individuals undergo an initial screening process using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) Scale. Only participants with moderate to mild upper limb impairment post-stroke (as per FMA scores) are included in the study (n=x). From this, 60 eligible participants will be selected through convenient sampling. These participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A will receive a Occupational based activity training intervention. Before the intervention, a baseline assessment using the Chedoke Arm and Hand Inventory (CAHAI) and Stroke Specific- Quality of Life (SS-QOL) will be conducted. Following this, participants in Group A will undergo a 4-week Occupational based activity intervention. After the intervention period, a post-intervention CAHAI and SS-QOL assessment will be performed. Group B will serve as the control group and continue with their usual routine. Similar to Group A, a baseline CAHAI and SS-QOL assessment will be carried out before the intervention period. Participants will then continue their regular routine for the duration of the study, after which a post-intervention CAHAI and SS-QOL assessment will be conducted. Finally, data from both groups will be analyzed using SPSS statistical software to evaluate the outcome of the intervention.
