Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to enhance upper limb functional strength and coordination in chronic stroke patients through motor imagery training combined with conventional physical therapy. It hypothesizes that this combined approach will yield statistically significant improvements compared to conventional therapy alone. The research employs a randomized control trial design to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions. Participants will be assessed for improvements in upper limb function and coordination over the course of the study.
