OBJECTIVE: To test the efficacy of the arm ability training (AAT) on a sample of patients with central arm paresis after traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke. DESIGN: Single-blind, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: Inpatient rehabilitation center. PATIENTS: Consecutive sample of 74 patients of whom 60 (45 with stroke, 15 with TBI) completed the study; 37 patients received a 1-year follow-up. INTERVENTION: Daily AAT with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) knowledge of results, or no AAT (n = 20) during a 3-week intervention period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Summary time scores of the Test Evaluant les Membres superieurs des Personnes Agees (TEMPA)-a test of upper extremity function with daily function-like activities (focal disability)-and kinematic analysis of aimed movements. RESULTS: Patients with AAT realized superior improvement as compared with controls. Mean improvement in the time needed to perform (1) all TEMPA tasks was 41.4 versus 12.8 seconds Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2002219899 |
