About this study

This study will be conducted to investigate the effects of mobile applications of dexterity fine motor skills on hand dexterity and grip strength in chronic stroke patients. Data will be collected from Jinnah hospital Lahore and Riphah Rehabilitation center Lahore. All 22 patients will be taken using random sampling. Both study groups will be given common treatment of conventional hand function. The subjects will randomly assign to the experiment group with mobile apps training and the control group without mobile app training. Mobile applications like Dexteria, ScribbleKid, PegLight and Bowling game will be used for the purpose of training and success rate will be considered as outcome measure. Test and tools include the Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT), the Fugl-Meyer Motor assessment (FMA), The Box & Block Test (BBT), and Grip strength will be assessed using a hand dynamometer. SPSS 25 version will be used for data entry and analysis.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Six months to 2 years post stroke
  • Participants must be able to open and close their fingers (even only 2 cm of movement)
  • Before stroke there must be fully functional hand
  • Normal or intact vision

Exclusion criteria

  • Neurological disorders other than stroke for example multiple sclerosis or Parkinson disease.
  • Upper extremities acute orthopaedic conditions.
  • Any cardiopulmonary complications
  • Medically unstable patients.

Treatment and study plan

app based training with conventional therapy

Other

The experimental group will receive an additional mobile application therapy including , dexterity fine motor skills, bowling game, scribble game and peglight game in addition to the conventional therapy for hand function.

Conventional Therapy

Other

conventional hand function rehabilitation therapy including, strengthening exercises which consist of palm down wrist flexion exercise, dexterity( shifting exercise) and fine motor skills(nine peg hole exercise)

Primary outcomes

  1. The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT)

    Time frame: 9 months

    The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is designed to quantify finger dexterity with neurological diagnoses patients.

  2. Fugl-Meyer Motor assessment (FMA)

    Time frame: 9 months

    Fugl-Meyer Motor assessment (FMA) is specific for post stroke performance based on impairment index. This is specific for quantification of balance and motor functioning.

  3. The Box &Block Test (BBT)

    Time frame: 9 months

    The Box &Block Test (BBT) is designed for measuring overall manual dexterity.

  4. hand dynamometer.

    Time frame: 9 months

    Grip strength is assessed using a hand dynamometer.
