They should demonstrate at least minimal voluntary movement of the wrist or fingers, with passive extension possible at the MCP and PIP joints up to 180 degrees, and have spasticity less than 3 on the Modified Ashworth Scale at the finger and wrist joints. Individuals with severe visual deficits that could interfere with task performance will be excluded. All participants should have prior exposure to standard physiotherapy during the early post-stroke period and must be willing to participate by providing written informed consent.

Individuals with a history of upper-limb fracture, arthritis, or chronic pain affecting functional use, as well as those with uncontrolled post-stroke seizures, will not be included. Patients with a myocardial infarction or any major cardiovascular event within the past 3 months, recent upper limb surgeries, or implanted medical devices will also be excluded. Additionally, subjects with severe cognitive or perceptual impairments such as neglect, apraxia, severe memory impairment, or aphasia that interfere with comprehension or task execution will be excluded.
