Arms & Interventions
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.
Intervention: traditional physical therapy (Other)
The impact of app-based cognitive training
The experimental group received mobile-app-based cognitive training (PEAK) along with conventional upper extremity rehabilitation.
Intervention: mobile app-based cognitive training (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
upper extremity function
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
