| Popis: | Brogardh C, Lexell J. A 1-year follow-up after shortened constraint-induced movement therapy with and without mitt poststroke. Objective To explore the long-term benefits of shortened constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the subacute phase poststroke. Design A 1-year follow-up after shortened CIMT (3h training/d for 2wk) where the participants had been randomized to a mitt group or a nonmitt group. Setting A university hospital rehabilitation department. Participants Poststroke patients (N=20, 15 men, 5 women; mean age 58.8y; on average 14.8mo poststroke) with mild to moderate impairments of hand function. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The Sollerman hand function test, the modified Motor Assessment Scale, and the Motor Activity Log test. Assessments were made by blinded observers. Results One year after shortened CIMT, participants within both the mitt group and the nonmitt group showed statistically significant improvements in arm and hand motor performance and on self-reported motor ability compared with before and after treatment. No significant differences between the groups were found in any measure at any time. Conclusions Shortened CIMT seems to be beneficial up to 1 year after training, but the restraint may not enhance upper motor function. To determine which components of CIMT are most effective, larger randomized studies are needed. |
