Summary

The objective of this pilot randomized controlled single blinded, parallel-group study is to detect change of the Action Observation (AO) and Repetitive Task Practice (RTP) combined practice schedule on upper limb motor impairment outcomes in chronic, moderately impaired stroke survivors.

Detailed description

The current proposal aims to conduct a pilot randomized controlled single blinded, parallel-group study design to detect change of the Action Observation (AO) and Repetitive Task Practice (RTP) combined practice schedule on upper limb (UL) motor impairment outcomes in the chronic, moderately impaired stroke survivor. Individuals will be randomized to 1) experimental conditions of AO + RTP practice schedule, or 2) control condition of Placebo Video (PV) + RTP, and will receive an assigned regimen from a blinded intervention therapist for one hour, 3 times per week, for 8 weeks (total of 24 sessions), and a daily 30 minute HEP. A blinded assessor will complete assessments on each subject at three distinct time points of pretest, post intervention, and 1 month post intervention.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Hemiparesis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Action Observation + Repetitive Task Practice	Observing a video of another person performing a functional task and physically repetitively performing the same task for upper extremity hemiparesis
BEHAVIORAL	Placebo Video + Repetitive Task Practice	Observing a video of static images and physically repetitively performing functional task for upper extremity hemiparesis
