Objective: To predict upper extremity function at the outcome in cases with intervening Constraint-Induced movement therapy.
Methods: The subjects were 20 patients in the home group and 44 patients in the recovery group who received CI therapy. These Fugl Mayer Assessment upper extremity (FMA) and functional independence measure (FIM) were investigated at the beginning of rehabilitation, at the beginning of CI therapy, and at discharge.
Results: The FMA cut-off value was 47.0 points. Analysis of variance on FMA and FIM showed significant differences, and there was an interaction between outcome and FIM. Multiple regression analysis showed significant differences in outcome and FIM, and an interaction effect.
Conclusion: The FMA score of 47 was extracted as a guideline for discharge home. However, it is necessary to consider ADL as well.
