Brief Summary:
The first purpose of this study is to determine how often people should practice motor skills to best improve the ability to use the affected arm and hand after stroke The second purpose is to determine whether it is better to practice a lot of repetitions of a few tasks or a few repetitions of many tasks during motor rehabilitation for the arm and hand after stroke
Detailed Description:
Intense skill practice with the affected arm after stroke has the potential to improve upper extremity UE function resulting from neuroplastic changes in the motor cortex However the necessary and sufficient parameters of this therapy in humans have not been fully investigated Delineation of the most efficacious and efficient therapy for promoting UE recovery post-stroke is necessary before effective clinical implementation of this therapy In this study using parallel group design methodology we will test the effect of 2 practice parameter ie spacing of practice and number of repetitions per task practiced per session modifications on UE function following skill practice
Forty subjects will complete multiple baseline testing and then be randomized using random number table to one of 4 groups condensed functional task practice modeled after Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy 6 hours of practiceday 5 daysweek 2 weeks condensed functional task practice with a restricted number of tasks practiced distributed distributed functional task practice Monday Wednesday Friday 6 hourssession 10 sessions distributed functional task practice with a restricted number of tasks practiced During therapy sessions subjects will practice performing common activities with their paretic upper extremity They will wear a mitt on their non-paretic upper extremity for up to 90 of their waking hours Post-testing sessions will follow within one week of completing therapy with an additional follow-up testing session 3 months later
