Funded Activity Summary

85% of the 15 million people in the world annually who have a stroke cannot use their arm for basic tasks like eating and toileting. With usual health care services, 60% of stroke survivors still have non-functional arms 6 months after stroke. More effective treatments are needed. Task-specific training may improve arm and hand function more than usual care. We will conduct a multicentre randomised controlled trial to test whether task-specific training is more effective than usual care.
