EFFECTS OF REPEATED TASK TRAINING ON STRENGTH, ROM, AND FUNCTIONS OF HAND IN INDIVIDUALS AFTER STROKE

Stroke often results in impaired hand strength, restricted range of motion, and reduced functional performance, significantly affecting an individuals ability to perform activities of daily living. Repeated Task Training (RTT) is a rehabilitation approach based on intensive, task-specific practice aimed at promoting motor recovery through neuroplasticity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of RTT on hand strength, range of motion (ROM), and functional performance in individuals after stroke. A group of post-stroke participants underwent a structured RTT program focusing on purposeful, repetitive hand and upper-limb tasks for a defined intervention period. Outcome measures included assessments of hand grip strength, finger and wrist ROM, and standardized functional hand performance tests conducted before and after the intervention.The result demonstrated significant improvements in hand strength, increased ROM,and enhanced functional performance following RTT. These findings suggest that repeated task training is an effective therapeutic intervention for improving hand function in post-stroke individuals and may contribute to better independence and quality of life when incorporated into stroke rehabilitation programs.
