The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how a partially self-supervised constraint-induced movement therapy (sCIMT) program in adults with arm and hand weakness will work after stroke. This study will look at whether the program can help people improve the use of their arm and hand after a stroke while requiring less time with a therapist. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the sCIMT program help people use their affected arm and hand better - after a stroke? * Do participants feel that the sCIMT program is useful, easy to follow, and a good fit for their recovery needs? * Does taking part in the sCIMT program improve participants' quality of life and daily well-being? Participants will: * Take part in a therapy program 5x/week for 2 weeks. The program is designed to help improve the use of the arm and hand affected by stroke. * Wear a mitt on the stronger hand during certain practice activities to encourage use of the weaker hand. * Complete surveys and tests before and after the program to measure arm and hand use, experiences with the program, and quality of life.
Inclusion Criteria: * Sustained a first-time ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke ≥2 weeks prior to study enrollment * Age ≥18 and ≤85 * Moderate UE hemiparesis as defined by a score ≥13 and ≤47 on the modified UE section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (60-point scale with no reflex testing) * Ability to actively extend impaired wrist ≥10 degrees * UE strength and active range of motion within functional limits on the non-hemiparetic side * Ability to follow two-step commands (visual or verbal) as determined by the clinical investigator * Nonuse of the more impaired UE as evidenced by an average scor…
Self-supervised constraint-induced movement therapy (sCIMT) is an upper extremity rehabilitation intervention for individuals with stroke. Participants receive up to 30 hours of rehabilitation over 2 weeks (3-hour sessions, up to 5 sessions per week). The intervention combines therapist-guided training with self-supervised task practice, with approximately one-third of treatment time delivered individually by a therapist and two-thirds completed independently. Treatment activities include task-oriented functional and non-functional upper extremity exercises designed to promote use of the affected arm, improve motor function, and support functional recovery.
