Abstract

Stroke leads to constant rehabilitation needs even at the chronic stage. However, although many stroke patients receive physical or occupational therapy in primary health care, treatment prescriptions do not generally specify therapeutic goals; in particular, participation is not established as an explicit therapeutic goal in the ambulatory setting. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a therapy regimen for chronic stroke patients (modified 'constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) at home') with impaired hand or arm function with regard to the prerequisites of participation in everyday activities: a sufficient arm and hand function. 'CIMT at home' will be compared with conventional physical and occupational therapy ('therapy as usual').
