No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not having people with stroke practice performing tasks to auditory rhythm cues with their weaker arm and hand is any better at promoting improved motor control than practicing the tasks in a typical way without the rhythm cues

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy + auditory rhythm cues

The intervention is functional task practice with the paretic arm and hand for 4 hours/day for 10 sessions over 2 weeks plus a home program for the intervening weekend. Participants in the experimental group will perform this practice to the beat of a metronome. All participants will also wear a mitt on the less affected hand for up to 90% of waking hours.
