This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) — an intensive arm rehabilitation method — works equally well when done at home versus in a clinic. CIMT involves practicing specific arm movements and tasks many times each day to help improve strength and function after stroke. The study will compare outcomes like arm strength, daily function, and quality of life between these two approaches.
Many people struggle to access regular rehabilitation therapy at clinics due to distance, cost, or transportation challenges. This trial wants to know whether this treatment can be delivered safely and effectively at home, making recovery after stroke more accessible to patients and their families.

Participants will perform intensive arm exercises involving five different tasks, each repeated 100 times per session (500 repetitions total), for about 2 hours per day. Those in the clinic group will come to the clinic 5 days a week for 4 weeks; those in the home group will attend the clinic 3 days the first week, 2 days the second week, once the third week, and then practice independently at home during the fourth week with family support. You will be tested on arm strength, daily function, and quality of life before and after the 4-week program.
