Bilateral movement-based computer training

All subjects underwent 16 sessions of assigned treatment (2 times per week; for 8 weeks; 3 hours standardized rehabilitation program per visit) There was 1.5 hours standardized conventional physiotherapy training a 1.5 hours multi-disciplinary program which consisted of standardized occupational therapy, speech therapy and nursing care.

Subjects in Intervention Group will be assigned an additional 30 minutes bilateral movement-based computer games(Able-X) training program of upper limb.
