REHABILITATION CLINICAL TRIALS
Modified Constraint-Induced Therapy in Sub-Acute Stroke: A Pilot Study
Principal Investigator: Sue Ann Sisto, Ph.D., P.T
However, these CI studies are limited in their application for several reasons: (1) the intensity of this therapy is not feasible in the typical rehabilitation environment, nor is it reimbursable within our current health care system; (2) no CIT studies with sub-acute stroke patients have reported the functional outcomes of stroke patients using a validated functional outcome measure; (3) the functional tasks measured have not been ones necessarily most meaningful to patients; (4) only one published CIT study has employed randomized, controlled methods with a number of subjects that would produce appropriate power; and (5) previous studies have employed CIT with chronic stroke patients although much of the observed cortical reorganization following stroke occurs during the first six months.
