Pilot Trial of Distributed Constraint-Induced Therapy With Trunk Restraint to Improve Poststroke Reach to Grasp and Trunk Kinematics

Abstract

Administering dCIT + TR produced additional benefits by improving grasping control and reversing the compensatory trunk movement at the early phase of a reach-to-grasp movement. The use of experimental tasks beyond and within arm's length might improve our understanding of optimal upper extremity rehabilitation.
