Effects of Mental Imagery Training Combined With Task Oriented Training by EMG-Driven Soft Robotic Hand Stroke in Stroke

This randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of robotic hand training in improving upper limb motor function and coordination with and without mental imagery training in chronic stroke patients

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants clinically diagnosed with stroke in chronic stage (6 months after the onset of stroke) with a pure unilateral motor paresis after stroke. * 18-70 years of age. * Sufficient cognition to follow simple instructions and understand the content and purpose of study (MMSE score 28) * Able to sit up for at least 45 minutes. * Detectable residual signals from the affected side's Flexor digitorum (FD) and Extensor Digitorum (ED) muscles. * Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score of finger extensor less than or to 3 * Ability to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe dysphasia with inadequate communication. * Any additional medical or psychological condition affecting their ability to comply with the study protocol. * History of other neurological disease or psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism and substance abuse
