Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is Randomized controlled trial. The study will be conducted on 44 stroke patients. The study will be conducted in Civil Hospital Shujaabad and Riphah rehabilitation centre Lahore. Patients will be divided into Group A (n = 20) and Group B (n = 20) using a randomization through computer generated numbers program. Patients in Group A will receive action observation training with conventional treatment. All participants will undergo the training for 25 minutes per session, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Patients in Group B will receive motor imagery with conventional treatment. All participants will receive interventions for twenty-five minutes per session, five times a week, for eight weeks. For the pre- and post-evaluation of all participants, Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA UE) and Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) will be used. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS (Statistical package for Social Sciences) 25 version.
