Interventions/Control_1

Participants attend a 12-session handcraft program conducted with the support of trained facilitators. The program combines hand sensory stimulation activities and hand dexterity activities and is conducted once weekly for 90 minutes. Cognitive function and hand function assessments are performed at baseline (T1), immediately after the program (T2), and at a 6-month follow-up (T3).
