This study will be observe the effect of Task-oriented training on the dexterous movements of hands in hemiparetic post-stroke patients. Patient will be recruited that meet the inclusion criteria, with unilateral hemiplegia referred by Neurophysician having stroke for the first time, between age 47-70 year, both males and females, score of spasticity for upper extremity (shoulder, elbow) below and equal 2 based on the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), ability to comprehend simple instructions (Mini-Mental State Examination with a minimum score > 24), Brunnstrom stages ≥ 4, not submitted to other upper-limb rehabilitation programs during the participation in this study. The individuals with recurrent stroke episodes and transient ischemic attack, other neurological diseases (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis,), hemineglect, no sitting balance and comorbidities are excluded. Outcome measures used are FuglMeyer assessment scale (wrist and hand) and Wolf motor function test for upper extremity while Barthel index to assess the activities of daily living. All procedures will perform by taking informed consent. All Ethical standards for both patient and institution will be followed. After collecting data, will apply Shapiro Wilk test to check the normal distribution of data. For analysis use SPSS version 25

Transcutaneous Electrical nerve Stimulation for 10-20 min, 4 days/ week. Total of 16 sessions were given each consisting of 45 mins. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMA-UE) | Fugl-Meyer upper extremity evaluates voluntary movement, reflex activity, grasp, and coordination. Performance is measured on with a 3-point ordinal scale (0 to 2), with a maximum score of 30 with sub score 10 for the wrist, 14 for the hand, and for coordination and speed of movement the score is 6 | Pre treatment as baseline |

| Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) | Wolf motor function is a quantitative measure used for upper extremity motor ability using timed and functional tasks. It comprises of 15 function-based tasks and 2-strength based tasks. Maximum score is 75 and Lower scores are suggests low level of functioning. Time required for the task vary with individuals and usually 15-20 minutes | Pre treatment as baseline |
