Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Computer game-based upper extremity function assessment tool (CG-UE) <br/ ><br>Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) <br/ ><br>Timepoint: Patients will be assessed at baseline(pre intervention), then at 4- weeks, 8- weeks, post intervention at the end of 12- weeks and a repeat follow up assessment will be performed at 16- weeks on the outcome measures.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Stroke Impact scale <br/ ><br>Train Making Test A and B <br/ ><br>Qualitative OutcomeTimepoint: Patients will be assessed at baseline(pre intervention), then at 4- weeks, 8- weeks, post intervention at the end of 12- weeks and a repeat follow up assessment will be performed at 16- weeks on the outcome measures. <br/ ><br>Upon completion of the therapy program the patients will be invited to take part in an interview where a set of open-ended questions will be asked and the responses will be recorded and qualitatively analysed.
