The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Modified‐Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (m‐CIMT) based telerehabilitation on upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients.
Eighteen stroke patients were included and randomly allocated into two groups. The Tele‐CIMT (modified‐constraint induced movement therapy‐based telerehabilitation) ( n = 10) group received m‐CIMT based telerehabilitation for 90 min a day, 5 weekdays for 3 weeks at home. Additionally, both the Tele‐CIMT group and the control group (CG) ( n = 8) underwent the home exercise program aimed at improving range of motion, active movement, balance, and walking every weekday for 3 weeks at home. The outcome measures were the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Scale (STREAM), Fugl‐Meyer Upper Extremity Motor Evaluation Scale (FM‐UE), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), 9‐Hole Peg Test (9‐HPT), grip strengths, pinch strengths, Motor Activity Log‐28 (MAL‐28), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM).
