Interventions
Robotic Glove Therapy
"A rehabilitation program using a high-tech robotic glove that features individual finger control to allow independent finger movement. Participants will use the device to perform repetitive task-specific training, upper limb coordination drills, and activities of daily living (ADL) exercises designed to improve hemiparetic hand functionality and selective motor control."
Occupational Therapy Group
"A traditional rehabilitation program focused on upper limb mobilization, functional manual dexterity training, and activities of daily living (ADL) tasks. Exercises are performed using standard clinical therapeutic equipment and manual therapist facilitation without any robotic device assistance."
