Summary

Improving arm and hand function after stroke has been difficult to achieve within the rehabilitation service provided in the acute stage often due to the limited resource in health care. While spontaneous recovery plateaus after 6 months, the prolonged disability affects quality of life and social participation in stroke survivors. This study is aimed at improving chronic motor impairment arm and hand impairment by providing the intervention with intensive training schedule. This study will compare two types of rehabilitation intervention using a randomized controlled trial. Measurements also will be taken on various brain functions non-invasively to help discover how each of the intervention strategies works differently to repair the brain.
