Brief Summary

Null Hypothesis (HO) There is no difference between the effects of Perfetti's Method versus routine physical therapy on cognition, dexterity, and sensory motor function of the upper extremity in stroke patients. Alternate Hypothesis (HA) There is a difference between the effects of Perfetti's Method versus routine physical therapy on cognition, dexterity, and sensory motor function of the upper extremity in stroke patients.

Conditions

Cerebrovascular Accident

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Sensory Motor Function:

  The sensory motor function will assess with Fugal-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE).

  12 week

• Cognition:

  Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) will be used to evaluate the cognition of the patients.

  12 week

• Dexterity:

  The Box and Block Test (BBT) will be used to evaluate gross manual dexterity.

  12 week

Study Arms (2)

Group A:

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be treated with routine physical therapy for 20 minutes, five days a week for 12th weeks. Each participant will receive his/her arms training therapy. Only one participant per therapist, with or without caregiver observation.

Other: routine physical therapy

Group B

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants will be treated with Perfetti's method and routine physical therapy for 35 minutes, five times a week for 12th weeks. Each participant will receive his/her arms training therapy.

Other: Perfetti's method

Interventions

routine physical therapy OTHER

Each participant will receive his/her arms training therapy. Only one participant per therapist, with or without caregiver observation. Consisting of many purposeful kinesthetic activities such as Graded pinch exercise, Bimanual placing cone, Arm bicycling, Shoulder curved arch, Double-curved arch, Block-stacking, Skateboard-supported arm sliding exercises on a tabletop, Putty kneading, Pegboard exercise, Picking up a ball and putting it into a basket, Plastic cone stacking. Therapists can offer passive, active-assistive, or active training, as deemed appropriate to the patient's ability

Group A:

Perfetti's method OTHER

. Only one participant per therapist, with or without caregiver observation. Participant will be blindfolded during the exercises and asked to focus on sensing the position of the limb. The therapist will passively move the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or fing
