Brief Summary  
                               Effects of EMG Biofeedback and Task oriented training on upper extremity motor function in individuals with sub acute stroke
ABSTRACT

BACKGROUNG:
   Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, often resulting in significant impairments in upper extremity motor function . Subacute stroke rehabilitation plays a crucial role in maximizing functional recovery and improving the quality of life for stroke survivors.
Prevalence of Upper Extremity Motor Impairment: Upper extremity motor impairment is a common consequence of stroke. Studies have shown that approximately 77-88% of stroke survivors experience some degree of upper limb motor impairment (Kwakkel et al., 2003; Nakayama et al., 1994). These impairments can range from mild to severe, affecting activities of daily living and overall quality of life.

AIM OF THE STUDY:
    Various rehabilitation approaches, including EMG biofeedback, task-oriented training, and conventional therapy, have shown promise in facilitating upper extremity motor recovery.

    My research aims to investigate and compare the effects of these interventions on upper extremity motor function in individuals with subacute stroke.

NEED OF THE STUDY:
    Functional Limitations: Upper extremity motor impairment often leads to functional limitations. According to a study by Nichols-Larsen et al. (2005), about 65% of stroke survivors experience difficulty with basic activities such as feeding, dressing, and toileting due to upper extremity motor impairment
    Effect on Quality of Life: The impact of upper extremity motor impairment on the quality of life is substantial. A study by Granger et al. (1998) demonstrated that upper limb motor impairment negatively affects multiple domains of the quality of life, including physical, psychological, and social aspects.
    Improved understanding of effective rehabilitation techniques for subacute stroke patients. Potential for improved motor function and ability to perform daily activities for individuals with stroke.
