This study investigates the effectiveness of combining m-CIMT and VR to improve mobility in post-stroke patients. A non-blinded randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 32 participants divided equally into experimental and control groups using purposive sampling. The experimental group will receive m-CIMT with VR training, while the control group will receive m-CIMT with Task-Specific Functional Training. Sessions will be 30 minutes per day, 4 days a week, for 6 weeks. Outcomes will be measured using FMA-LE, BBS, DGI, TUG, and SS-QOL. The study will take place over one year at FFH and FUCP, with ethical approval from ERC FUMC.
