Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy for Stroke Survivors with Mild Arm Weakness
This study is testing a treatment called Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CI Therapy) with added sensory components for adults who have had a stroke and still have some weakness in their arm. This therapy involves intensive training of the weaker arm, along with strategies to encourage its use in daily life. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, had a stroke at least 6 months ago, and can move your wrist and fingers a certain amount. The researchers will measure how much and how well you use your affected arm to see if the treatment helps. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 12 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 12 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive Grade 1 CI Therapy + Sensory Components over a two-week period, with daily treatment sessions on consecutive weekdays.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your arm function will be measured again at 3 months after the treatment ends.

What this trial measures
- 45-Item Motor Activity Log (MAL)At post treatment after 2 weeks of intervention
The 45-Item MAL is a semi-structured interview that assesses the amount of use and the quality of use of the more-affected UE in 45 activities of daily living. The use of this test is to determine the change how much and how well the participant uses the more-affected arm and hand outside of the laboratory setting. It is administered before and after treatment. The score is derived from a 0-5 scale and reported as a mean for the Amount of Use (AOU) and the Quality of Use (QOM).
- 45-Item Motor Activity Log (MAL)At 3 months after the end of the treatment
The 45-Item MAL is a semi-structured interview that assesses the amount of use and the quality of use of the more-affected UE in 45 activities of daily living. The use of this test is to determine the change how much and how well the participant uses the more-affected arm and hand outside of the laboratory setting. It is administered before and after treatment. The score is derived from a 0-5 scale and reported as a mean for the Amount of Use (AOU) and the Quality of Use (QOM).
- Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT)At post treatment after the 2 weeks of intervention
The WMFT is a standardized test that measures the motor ability of the upper extremities of a participant. The performance time by stopwatch is recorded and functional ability (quality) score is provided for each item tested. It is administered before treatment and after treatment. The quality of movement is rated by the therapist on a scale from 0-5 with 0 representing the participant's inability to perform the task, and 5 representing normal movement or as good as before the stroke, such that a higher functional ability score is better. A lower performance represents a better performance.
- Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)At post-treatment after the 2 weeks of intervention
The COPM is a semi structured interview in which the participant is asked to rate desired occupational performance areas for activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. The COPM is used to show changes in performance and satisfaction in desired areas of occupational performance. There are three scales used in the COPM administration one for importance, performance, and satisfaction. The scales range from 1-10 with the higher score indicating an improvement in the score.
