Summary

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate motor and neglect recovery of stroke patients produced by CIT using kinematic and oculomotor assessment, together with conventional clinical measures.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accidents

Interventions

OTHER

EP

Participants were asked to wear glasses with a patch on the right lens to block the visual stimuli from the right side and force them to receive the stimuli from the left-side visual field.

OTHER

CIT

The CIT addressed forced use of the affected UE and restricted the unaffected UE during training. Shaping skills were delivered while participants were forced to use their affected UE in the mass practice of functional tasks, such as drinking water and opening a jar. Participants wore a mitt on their unaffected hand and wrist for 6 hours/day during the 3-week training and reported their compliance in a daily log.

OTHER

conventional therapy

Traditional occupational therapy matched in intensity and duration with the other groups. The training program included stretching and weight bearing of the affected UE, improving the range of motion of the affected UE, muscle strengthening, and the practice of tasks used for functional training might involve the unaffected UE to assist in the affected UE; for example, stabilizing a bottle while opening its lid or moving pegs into holes on a board.
