Utilizing fNIRS to investigate the impact of calligraphy training on cognitive and upper limb motor function in stroke patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, often resulting in cognitive and upper limb motor impairments that significantly impact activities of daily living. While conventional rehabilitation approaches have shown effectiveness, challenges such as high cost, limited accessibility, and poor adherence hinder their widespread implementation. Calligraphy training has emerged as a promising rehabilitation strategy, offering a multimodal intervention that integrates motor and cognitive processes. However, the underlying neural mechanisms and the combined effects of calligraphy training on cognitive and motor recovery remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the effects of calligraphy training on cognitive function and upper limb motor recovery in stroke pa
