Stroke is described as rapidly developing clinical findings of localized or generalized impairment to cerebral function, with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer, or leading to death, with no evident cause other than a vascular origin.
Stroke is a prevalent and debilitating illness that affects people all around the world. Stroke is the second or third largest cause of mortality in adults, as well as one of the primary causes of adult disability. Because the majority of stroke patients survive the initial illness, the long-term impacts on patients and their families have the greatest influence on health. Kinesiotaping is a revolutionary rehabilitation procedure. It's most typically used to treat sports injuries, however, it is progressively becoming effective in overcoming other abnormalities. Kinesio Tex tape brand is a flexible, thin, porous cotton fabric with an adhesive backing manufactured by Dr. Kenzo Kase. It provides cutaneous stimulation which facilitates or limit movement, aids in the reduction of edema, reduces pain and correct joint positions for easing muscle spasms.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Fugel Meyer assessment scale for upper limb | An assessment scale for post stroke hemiplegic patients and is performance-based impairment index. This scale is having 5 domains namely Motor functioning, Sensory Functioning, Balance, Joint Range of Motion and Joint pain. I divided the motor functioning for upper extremity into 0 to 66 points and evaluates mobility, speed and coordination | week 8 |
| Functionality of Upper Limb | Upper Limb functionality is assessed by an instrument that consists of 20 items divided into 13 items that evaluate the movement patterns of the upper limb with a score from 0 (paralysis) to 5 (performs the typical movement pattern compared to the unaffected side) | week 8 |
| Box and Block Test (BBT) | his test is used to evaluate the manual dexterity of post stroke patients. BBT is composed of wooden box with two equal compartments having 150 boxes in one compartment and patient is asked to move the boxes from one compartment to another within 60 seconds. Before starting the test an extra 15 seconds time is given to the patient for familiarization with the test. First the patient performed the activity with the healthy arm and then with the affected arm.
