Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
The impact of app-based cognitive training	mobile app-based cognitive training	The experimental group received mobile-app-based cognitive training (PEAK) along with conventional upper extremity rehabilitation.
Traditional physical therapy	traditional physical therapy	This group will receive conventional upper extremity rehabilitation including active and active assisted ROMs and upper extremity stretches for 30 minutes, three to five times a week for 6 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
upper extremity function	4th week	Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) The FMA-UE is a condition-specific outcome that applies to hemiparesis of the upper limb in stroke conditions. The FMA motor assessments for the upper (maximum score 66 points)
Trail Making Test	4th week	The Trail Making Test is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching. It has two parts, in which the subject is instructed to connect a set of 25 dots as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy. Scoring is based on time taken to complete the test (e.g. 35 seconds yielding a score of 35) with lower scores being better. Different norms are available that allow comparison with age-matched groups
