Standard vs Dual-Task Hand-Arm Bimanual Training in Post-Stroke Patients
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
This study aims to compare the effects of standard and dual-task-oriented hand-arm bimanual intensive training on cognitive performance, upper limb function, and coordination in post-stroke patients. Stroke often leads to impairments in motor and cognitive functions, limiting independence in daily activities. This randomized controlled trial will include adult stroke patients who will be assigned to two groups: one receiving standard training and the other receiving dual-task-oriented training. The interventions will be provided over eight weeks. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized tools for motor function, coordination, and cognition. The study seeks to determine whether combining cognitive and motor tasks leads to better rehabilitation outcomes compared to standard therapy alone.
