Summary

People with stroke experience weakness and incoordination. Studies have shown that with functional task practice, people can increase motor control and strength to a certain extent. This study will investigate whether adding progressive resistance strength training to functional task practice modeled after Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy results in greater motor function gains than functional task practice alone

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy + strength training

Participants wears a mitt on non-paretic hand for 90% of waking hours and completes 3 hours of functional task practice (e.g., flipping cards, putting coins in coin slot, putting cans on a shelf) plus 1 hour of resistance elastic band exercises

BEHAVIORAL

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy + range of motion

Participants wears a mitt on non-paretic hand for 90% of waking hours and completes 3 hours of functional task practice (e.g., flipping cards, putting coins in coin slot, putting cans on a shelf) plus 1 hour of unresisted arm movements for
