Summary

Arm weakness happens a lot after a stroke. People often get physical or occupational therapy after their stroke to learn how to use their arm again. This study will help figure out how much therapy should be given to restore as much arm function as possible.

Intensive task-specific upper extremity rehabilitation

The experimental intervention consists of intensive task-specific upper extremity movement rehabilitation which are appropriately graded and progressed for each subject. This intervention will provide progressive training of these essential components required for upper extremity movement through repeated practice of various tasks, with the desired goal of building the subject's capacity to perform a multitude of UE functions. Subjects will participate in the intervention for eight weeks or more depending on the group they are randomized to.
