The Effect of Additional Arm Therapy on Arm Function After Stroke

The control arm was given education on stroke, the affected arm post strooke, bone health, and healthy living. This information was given in a booklet format and administered once weekly by the site coordinator.

"The experimental arm was given arm exercises graded based on motor impairment and administered by the site coordinator. The exercises were given in a booklet with written and photographic instructions. These exercises were monitored on a twice-weekly basis.~The intervention was to be completed once daily for 45 minutes, 5 days per week, and supervised by the site coordinator. Exercises consisted of range of motion, strengthening, and use of the arm in daily activites such as buttoning, pouring and throwing."
