The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-selected task-oriented activities on the improvement of upper limb function in stroke patients. This study was performed on stroke patients between 6 months and 12 months after onset at N rehabilitation hospital in D metropolitan city. A total of 20 subjects selected 30 task-oriented activities according to their own goals. The selected task-oriented activities were performed for 30 minutes, three times a week, for a total length of four weeks. We investigated any changes in the upper limb motor function of the patients at the end of the four weeks. In the changes of upper limb motor function, improvements were shown in the experimental group (self-selected task-oriented group) and control group (preselected task-oriented group). In the experimental group, there were statistically significant differences in all items on the Purdue pegboard test, Box & Block test (BBT) and Jebsen-talyor hand function test. In the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in the Purdue pegboard test and BBT, but the numerical improvement was seen. The hand function tests showed significant differences in some items. Performing a self-selected task-oriented program positively affected the recovery of the dexterity of the upper limb, the fine motion coordination of the hands, and the hand function improvement of the stroke patients.
