Riphah International University
46 participants
Apr 10, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To determine the effect of neurocognitive therapy with and without a soft robotic hand on manual ability, dexterity, strength, spasticity and upper limb function in sub-acute stroke.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Participants of Post stroke patients (6-12 weeks )
- Participants with Spasticity \< 2 on modified Ashworth scale.
- Participants with first ever stroke.
- Participants with normal cognition \> 24 on MoCA
- Participants must be able to provide informed consent
- Hemiparesis with arm motor deficit as assessed by with NIHSS \>1(14)
Exclusion Criteria4
- Participants who have a history of significant neurological or orthopedic disorders, other than stroke, that could interfere with upper limb motor or sensory recovery.
- Participants who have altered state of consciousness, severe aphasia, severe cognitive deficit.
- Participants who have severe pathologies of traumatic and or rheumatic nature, severe pain in effected arm (\>5 on visual analog scale for pain) .
- Participants who have active pacemakers and other active implants.

Interventions
There will be 23 participants received Neurocognitive Therapy with soft robotic hand . Total 45 minutes session will be provided to patient including 15 minutes of routine physical therapy training for upper limb. The following hand exercises will be performed . Passive localization, passive identification, and active object exploration .For localization placed a part of the patient's limb, typically the fingertip, on one external object (e.g. sand paper, toothpick, sponge, paint brush, cotton ball, pencil, eraser ) and for identification water bottle, sponge, toothpaste tube, electrical plug, plastic ball, paper cup, tape roll, metal bolt with nut, tape roll . During active exploration the The training object repositioned, and another object of a different shape or size offered (water bottle, water bottle with ice in it, sponge. The blindfolded patient then used his effected hand to explore different objects and asked to identify each object with soft robotic hand.
