Forearm Rotation Orthosis for Stroke
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a forearm rotation orthosis combined with the occupational therapy task-oriented approach on functional performance for persons with a hemiparetic arm. Hypotheses of this study are: 1. participants who wear the forearm rotation orthosis will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in functional performance and active range of motion of forearm rotators compared to those who do not; 2. all participants who receive the occupational therapy task-oriented approach intervention will demonstrate significant improvement in functional performance; and 3. all participants who receive the occupational therapy task-oriented approach intervention will demonstrate improvement in motor function of the upper extremity.
