What this Trial Is About
The goal of this study is to to examine whether rhythmic auditory stimulation improved movement speed, movement function of executing activities of daily living, and movement recovery of the affected upper limb, as well as quality of life in stroke patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does rhythmic auditory stimulation improve movement speed in stroke patients? * Does rhythmic auditory stimulation improve movement function of executing activities of daily living in stroke patients? * Does rhythmic auditory stimulation improve movement recovery of the affected upper limb in stroke patients? * Does rhythmic auditory stimulation improve quality of life in stroke patients? Researchers will compare movement training with the aid of rhythmic auditory stimulation to movement training without the aid of rhythmic auditory stimulation to see if rhythmic auditory stimulation works to improve movement speed, movement function of executing activities of daily living, and movement recovery of the affected upper limb, as well as quality of life in stroke patients. Participants will: * Undergo movement tests and fill out questionnaires before and after the movement training program * Receive movement training for 40 minutes per session and three sessions per week for a total of 24 sessions
