Abstract: Background: Stroke is one of the most common causes of physical disability, and early, intensive, and repetitive rehabilitation exercises are crucial to the recovery of stroke survivors. Unfortunately, research shows that only one third of stroke patients actually perform recommended exercises at home, because of the repetitive and mundane nature of conventional rehabilitation exercises. Thus, to motivate stroke survivors to engage in monotonous rehabilitation is a significant issue in the therapy process. Game-based rehabilitation systems have the potential to encourage patients continuing rehabilitation exercises Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate/explore the effect /impact of modified game based activity that improve hand functioning Method: This study was conducted at Institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation DOW University of health sciences. 15 patients those included were diagnosed as stroke through randomized control trial; patients having muscle grade 3, aged between 20-50, acute cases were included .All patients received conventional therapy and additional game based activities 4 days a week. Sports based therapy included Basket Ball, Balloon Bounce, Volley Ball, Cricket, and Football .These 5 activities covered with warm up and cool down exercises. Pre and post assessment is done by Fugal Mayer and Chadock scale. Result: There is significant difference in baseline pre and post assessment of fugal Mayer and CAHAI scoring Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed. Value of p
