简要总结
Stroke is a leading cause of upper extremity deficits worldwide. Persistent upper extremity dysfunction affects many post stroke patients and is strongly associated with decreased activities of daily living and poor quality of life.
There is accumulating evidence of a cross-over effect with training of one limb that slightly increase strength and coordination in contralateral untrained limb through neurological adaptations.
One of rehabilitation that is beneficial for stroke patient is motor imagery, a mental rehearsal of a movement that does not include physical movement has been shown to enhance upper limb function.
Evidence demonstrate that MI not only activates motor cortical and subcortical regions but also induces plastic change in motor networks and modulates synaptic activity at spinal level.

研究组 & 干预措施
CONTROL GROUP A- CONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY
The participants will receive conventional physical therapy focusing on active range of motion, strengthing and coordination exercises.
Subjects will receive protocol of 45 min thrice a week for 8 weeks with 2 min rest in between.
The exercises will focus on active range of motion, weight exercises to increase strength and coordination exercises to improve movement coordination.
干预措施: Intervention Group A Conventional Physical Therapy (Procedure)
INTERVENTION GROUP B- MOTOR IMAGERY WITH CONVENTIONAL PHYSICAL
The participants will recieve conventional physical therapy focusing on active range of motion, strengthing and coordination exercises.
Subjects will recieve protocal of 45 min thrice a week for 8 weeks with 2 min rest in between.
The exercises will focus on active range of motion, weight exercises to increase strength and coordination exercises to improve movement coordination.
