Introduction: The ability to use one’s arms is vital for daily tasks, social interactions, and quality of life. However, 33% to 66% of stroke survivors fail to regain upper limb function within six months, hindering rehabilitation and reintegration. Self-perception evaluations show minimal influence from the WHO's ICF domains, emphasizing the need for a patient-centered approach. Participatory Action Research (PAR), widely used in community health, offers a collaborative framework for rehabilitation. However, research on Indian stroke patients' attitudes and recovery goals is limited, highlighting the need for tailored strategies addressing
their expectations and challenges.
