Usual care group: The Home Exercise Program will be prescribed based on their level of disability using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS scores). The primary investigator will demonstrate with appropriate instructions and will train the stroke survivors/caregivers to follow the home exercise program. The participants will be asked to follow one session of these exercises at home for at least 5 days a week, for a minimum duration of 45 minutes per day. The home exercise program will be progressed by increasing the number of sets and repetitions every week.

MHealth care group: In addition to the prescribed home exercise program, the participants will be instructed and trained by the primary investigator in the use of mobile apps for at least three to four sessions. Two or more attempts to retrieve any function from the mobile app without any errors will be considered as successful instruction. The participants can directly contact the primary investigator for any queries regarding mobile apps.

Baseline measurement of all outcome measures will be taken by a blinded therapist at the time of discharge following inpatient rehabilitation. Once every week, the primary investigator will have a telephonic communication with all the participants to maintain the complaints of the prescribed home exercise program. Both groups will be instructed to maintain a logbook to assess adherence to the program. After 4 weeks, an appointment with the primary investigator will be scheduled for a follow-up review and the study related outcome measures for all the participants will be taken by the same blinded therapist.
