Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project will be carried out using a short term constraint and training protocol targeting at subacute and chronic patients with motor and perceptual deficits. The outcome measures will include kinematic and oculomotor analyses, which have not been employed yet.

Study Groups

CIT with eye-patching

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. Participants were also 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.

constraint-induced therapy

The intervention in this group resembled the intervention of the CIT+EP group, except participants did not wear the EP glasses.

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.
