- Original description
People with stroke often experience limitations in motor functions and activity participation. Occupation-based bilateral upper limb training (OBBT) using occupations as meaningful daily activities, and as part of the therapy. The activities in OBBT are tailored to the patient's life with the goal of boosting motivation and engagement to enhance activity performance and participation. This study is a randomized control trial that aims to explore the effect of OBBT along with the conventional therapy in comparison with the conventional therapy alone on motor functions and activity participation among stroke survivors in inpatient rehabilitation setting. This study will be conducted in Qatar Rehabilitation Institute, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha, Qatar. Participants will be allocated randomly to either the OBBT group or the conventional therapy group. Participants in the OBBT group will receive 30 minutes OBBT program in addition to conventional therapy (90 minutes). Intervention sessions will be conducted 5 times per week over 6 weeks. The participants in the conventional therapy group will receive only the conventional therapy (90 minute). All participants will be assessed using the outcome measure immediately the day after completing the last intervention session at 4th week and 6th week.Read full original descriptionShow less
