Results

All participants completed this study. After 4 weeks, the intervention group evidenced a significantly greater increase in FMA score (median 11.0 [range 4-20]) than the control group (median 3.0 [range 0-9]) (P < .01, r = 0.79); as well as improvements in the other measures such as ARAT (median 12.5 [range 4-22] vs 7 [0-13]) (P < .01, r = 0.6), and MAS in the elbow flexors (median -1.5 [range -2 to 0] vs -1 [-2 to 0]) (P < .01, r = 0.45).

Baseline Characteristics

Thirteen patients had cerebral infarctions and 27 had cerebral hemorrhages. Seventeen patients had right hemiplegia and 23 had left hemiplegia, and none of the patients presented with absence of functional sensation. No significant differences were seen between the two treatment groups in demographic characteristics or baseline outcome measures.

Participant flow

Sixty-three patients with chronic stroke were screened as potential participants during the recruitment period. Fifteen patients did not satisfy the inclusion criteria and 8 declined to give consent. Forty adults with upper-limb spastic paresis after chronic stroke were enrolled and available for analysis. There were no dropouts during the 4-week study period.

Adverse events

No adverse events were observed during the trial.

Outcome measures

FMA, ARAT, active ROM, BBT, and MAS scores
