Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two amounts of treatment therapy on post stroke motor recovery in the arms The therapy is bilateral movement training combined with electrical stimulation on the impaired limb
Detailed Description: Intense movement training practice with the affected arm after stroke has the potential to improve upper extremity UE function resulting from neuroplasticity changes in the motor cortex However the necessary and sufficient parameters of this therapy in humans have not been fully investigated Delineation of the most efficacious and efficient therapy for promoting UE recovery post-stroke is necessary before effective clinical implementation of this therapy The current compared the effects on motor function impairments for three bilateral movement groups involving two doses of treatment ie bilateral training coupled with neuromuscular electrical stimulation and a sham control During the subacute recovery phase 3 - 6 months patients who meet motor capabilities criteria will be randomly assigned to one of three groups a low intensity 90 minutessession 2 sessionsweek 2 weeks bilateral movement training coupled with active neuromuscular stimulation on the impaired wristfingers b high intensity 90 minutessession 4 sessionsweek for 2 weeks bilateral movement training coupled with active stimulation on the impaired wristfinger extensors and c control group sham active stimulation Patients UE motor capabilities were assessed before treatment therapy began pretest and within the first week after the treatment therapy ended posttest
