No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized, single-blind study compares the effectiveness of bilateral training to unilateral training for individuals with moderate hemiparesis. We hypothesize that bilateral training will be superior to unilateral in the proximal extremity but not the distal one.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

bilateral upper extremity training

Bilateral symmetrical upper extremity training for proximal control for three hours per week for eight weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Unilateral upper extremity training

Unilateral upper extremity training for proximal extremity for three hours a week for eight weeks.
