Back ground: stroke patients are having variety of disable functions, including limited hand functions which has key role to do activities of daily living.

Objective: To determine the added effects of electrical stimulation combined with task oriented training in stroke patients.

Methods: 30 subjects were selectively divided in to two groups. Group A received Eletrical stimulation with Task oriented training while Group B received only task oriented training. Outcome measures were grip strength, Box and Block test, 9 hole peg and ROM.

Findings: statistical significant difference found for all the variables used in methods in between the groups.

Conclusion: Electrical stimulation with task oriented training improves hand functions more effectively compared to only task oriented training in stroke patients.
