Summary

To evaluate whether the restriction of the non paretic upper limb (UL) is a factor that could interfere at the sensorimotor UL recovery for chronic stroke subjects and to verify the impact on daily function, quality of life. In this pilot, randomized, blind and allocation concealment clinical trial, nineteen individuals with chronic stroke was randomly assigned, after the first evaluation, into two groups: group without restriction (G1), subject only to the specific training of paretic UL, and restricted group (G2), which underwent specific training of paretic UL and use of the restriction of non paretic UL

OTHER	specific training of paretic upper limb	nineteen individuals with chronic stroke was randomly assigned, after the first evaluation, into two groups: group without restriction (G1), subject only to the specific training of paretic UL, and restricted group (G2), which underwent specific training of paretic UL and use of the restriction of non paretic UL. The volunteers were evaluated before the beginning of the interventions, and the next day after completion of the 12 therapy sessions through the Fugl-Meyer Assessment
