Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether Mirror Therapy (MT) combined with Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) improves hand and arm function after a stroke. The study will also compare this combination to CIMT alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does combining MT with CIMT improve grip strength, hand dexterity, and upper limb function more than CIMT alone? Which therapy is more effective in helping stroke survivors regain use of their arm and hand? Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either CIMT alone or CIMT combined with MT Attend therapy sessions 5 days a week for 6 weeks, each lasting 60-90 minutes Undergo tests before and after treatment to measure grip strength, dexterity, and motor function using tools like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Box and Block Test, and Hand-Held Dynamometer
