Summary

This experimental design will assess the feasibility \& initial effectiveness of HABIT - a novel occupational therapy to increase the daily hand-use of the affected upper extremity post stroke. Assessments will be conducted at four time points: baseline, pre, post the HABIT intervention and follow-up (by phone) .

Detailed description

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of HABIT (Hand Activities Behavior Intervention) in increasing daily hand-use of the affected upper extremity among individuals with good motor ability post-stroke. The aim of HABIT is to increase the daily use of the weaker hand in everyday activities by improving non-motor components (such as self-efficacy, raising the frustration threshold for performing tasks with the affected upper extremity, and creating opportunities for hand use). HABIT will include group discussions, analysis of challenges in using the affected upper extremity, home exercises, problem-solving and practice and dual-task activities. The intervention will focus on raising awareness, changing habits, and practicing the use of the affected upper extremity.
