ABSTRACT

Background: Stroke (CVA) is a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to disturbance caused by an interruption of the blood flow to the brain. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Task-Oriented Arm Ability Training (TOAAT) and Strength-Based Dexterity Exercise (SBDE) in improving hand function among stroke survivors.

Methods: A total of 30 male stroke patients aged 40 to 60 years, with mild to moderate upper limb impairment and Modified Ashworth Scale ≤ 2, were selected and randomly divided into two groups (n=15). Group A received TOAAT, and Group B received SBDE. The interventions were conducted for a structured duration. Outcome measures used were the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT) and the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT), assessed before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-tests.

Results: Both groups showed statistically significant improvements in hand function. However, participants in Group A (TOAAT) demonstrated greater gains in both fine motor coordination and functional task performance compared to Group B (SBDE).

Conclusion: Task-Oriented Arm Ability Training was found to be more effective than Strength-Based Dexterity Exercise in enhancing hand function in stroke survivors.
