The disabling effects of stroke depend on the affected areas of the brain. Post-stroke rehabilitation is a patient-centered, goal-driven process that attempts to maximize the functional independence of patients. The purpose of the study is to show the effectiveness of Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy and Motor imagery technique to improve upper limb function in post stroke patients. The aim of the study to compare the effectiveness of Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT) and Motor imagery technique to improve upper limb function in post stroke subjects.

Methods: this is a quasi Experimental study with 30 patients who met inclusion criteria were to be recruited for the study by purposive random sampling method; they were divided into two groups. Group A and Group B consists of 15 subjects .Subjects in Group A receives Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy. Group B receives Motor Imagery.

Result: Group A stroke patients included in the study completed the sessions of Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy were re-evaluated at the five-month follow-up. The two-tailed P value is less than 0.0001, by conventional basis; which shows that distinction is exceedingly statistically significant.

Conclusion: The study concluded that Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy was effective treatment for improving upper limb function stroke patients.  

Keywords: Hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy, Motor imagery, Action research arm test, Fugl-meyer assessment
