Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
aim of this study is to determine the effects of action observation treatment on motor function in upper limb of patients with chronic stroke.
An RCT will be conducted on 14 chronic stroke patients from Omar Hospital and Riphah Rehabilitation Centre Lahore. Patients will be randomly allocated into control group (n=7) and Experimental group (n=7) by lottery method. Control group will be given only conventional treatment that included stretching, strengthening, pinching, gripping, reaching and grasping exercises, while Experimental group received conventional treatment and action observation treatment 3 days/ week for 4 weeks. Treatment outcomes will be assessed on Modified Barthel Index and Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE)

Action observation treatment
Action observation treatment
Participants will watch 5 videos of motor tasks; each video is of 30 sec and watch for 4 times (i.e. for 2 minutes). Then patient will execute the motor act, soon after the observation with an affected limb for 2 minutes, with total rest time of 5 minutes for this treatment. Conventional treatment of muscle stretching, strengthening and ROM exercises will be given for 15 minutes including rest. Total treatment time is 40 minutes.
