Summary

Hand impairment post-stroke is a common condition that contributes to disability around the world. An effective intervention is required to optimize functional outcomes in the rehabilitation of hand-in-stroke patients.

Detailed description

Thirty male/female stroke patients in the sub-acute phase were randomly assigned in to the two groups (study and control) in sets of three. The study group (A) (n = 15) underwent a hand rehabilitation program using the computerized glove combined with the selected hand program. The control group (B) (n = 15) received only the selected hand program. The treatment schedules for 18 consecutive treatment sessions, three times per week.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Hand rehabilitation program using the computerized glove	The patient extended finger to reach from grey to green to red colour and heard the beep providing knowledge of result (KR), whereas the increase of range of finger extension reached every session provides knowledge of performance (KP). As the patient's performance improved, the range of their finger's movement will also be increased due to the augmented feedback provided to the patient and the therapist through the glove software
OTHER	Selected hand program	Distal key point of Bobath, approximation of affected arm, to control spasticity of wrist/ finger flexor (5 minutes). Dynamic splint to facilitate wrist and finger extension (10 repeat\*5 sets). Passive range of motion exercise (10 repeat\*5 sets) for each joint. Mud exercise (spherical, clyndrical , hook). Thera band exercises.
