Post-stroke health-related quality of life following lower-extremity constraint-induced movement therapy - An observational survey study.

ABSTRACT: Lower- extremity constraint-induced movement therapy (LE-CIMT) has proven effective in overcoming physical disabilities. Participating in the LE-CIMT requires some independent walking ability without aids that indicates a higher level of motor function than for the entire stroke population. However, only few studies evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after LE-CIMT. This study aimed to compare HRQoL of people who had participated in LE-CIMT post-stroke to the general population and evaluate whether descriptive characteristics and clinical result were associated with their HRQoL. An observational survey study with a questionnaire including the Swedish RAND-36 and Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale was sent to 162 people.
