Summary

Study purpose This study will explore whether an additional rehabilitation program that focus on either upper or lower extremity training facilitate the recovery in upper or lower extremity. The recovery in both neurological status and motor functions will be explored.

Detailed description

Design A single-blinded (assessor-blinded) randomized controlled trial. Interventions The participants will be randomly assigned into two experiment groups (enhanced upper extremity program; and enhanced lower-extremity program). Both groups receive routine rehabilitation including daily 50 mins of physical therapy and 50 mins of occupational therapy. The enhanced upper extremity program group receives additional daily 50 mins program focusing on training of the hemiplegic upper extremity, while the enhanced lower-extremity program group receives additional daily 50 mins program focusing on training of the hemiplegic lower extremity. The participants receive 20-day training over a 4-week period. The additional program is designed to be specific to either upper-extremity or lower-extremity. Accordingly, one group can be used as the control group of the other one.

Conditions

• Poststroke/CVA Hemiparesis
