Abstract

Purpose:This trial aimed to determine the efficacy of standard modified CI therapy (mCI therapy) with self-training in hospital wards (ward-based mCI therapy) on upper-extremity function and behavior. Method:Through comparing the standard mCI therapy, which focuses on one extremity, with the ward-based mCI therapy using retrospective cohort design for acute stroke patients, we investigated upper-extremity motor function and behavior. Results:Post hoc analysis revealed that both groups significantly exhibited improved upper-extremity function and behavior. However, comparison between groups revealed that the ward-based mCI therapy significantly improved the affected upper-extremity behavior more than the standard mCI therapy. Conclusion:The ward-based CI therapy might have a greater effect on the behavior of the affected upper-extremity in real life.
