to compare the effects of the Mirror therapy and fine motor activities on hand function in chronic stroke patients
This study will be conducted to compare the effects of mirror therapy and fine motor activities in chronic stroke patients. Total Twenty eight hemiplegic patients will be recruited according to inclusion criteria and data will be collected from Riphah rehabilitation centre Lahore and Mian Munshi Hospital Lahore (DHQ). The patients will randomly assigned to a mirror therapy group (n=14) and Fine motor activities group (n=14). The patients in both groups will undergo conventional therapy for 4 weeks (60minutes/day, 5 days/week). The patients will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the treatment by Fugl- Meyer Aassessment (FMA) wolf motor assessment scale and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). After approval from ethical committee, data collection will be started and informed consent will be taken from all patients.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| fine motor activities group | Experimental | Patients in this group will receive conventional therapy for 1 month sixty minutes/day, 5 days/week in addition to performing fine motor exercises like therapy ball exercises, therapy putty exercises, table top exercises, moving beans, stacking pennies and rubber band resistances exercises etc. for 30 minutes |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| fugl mayer assessment FMA upper limb | For stroke patients, the Fugal-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a performance-based impairment measure. It is used to assess balance, motor function, sensation, and joint function in persons who suffer hemiplegia after a stroke. In both clinical and research settings, it is used to identify sickness severity, define motor recovery, and plan and assess treatment | 9 months |
| The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) | The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a non-diagnostic disability assessment instrument that was developed for a wide range of groups | 9 months |
| The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) | The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) uses timed and functional tasks to assess upper limb motor skills | 9 months |
