A follow-up study on the relationship among participation, activity and motor function in survivors of stroke following constraint-induced therapy.

Purpose: The aim of this follow-up study was to examine the relationships among motor function, activity and participation following constraint-induced therapy (CIT).

Methods: In this correlational study, 12 individuals who had previously participated in CIT completed the Fugl Meyer Assessment for the Upper Extremity and Wolf Motor Function Test (motor assessments), the Motor Activity Log (activity measure) and the Daily Experiences of Pleasure, Productivity and Restoration Profile (participation measure). Motor and activity changes over time were assessed using repeated measures ANOVA and Friedman's tests.
