Predictors for Upper-Limb Functional Recovery Trajectory in Individuals Receiving Stroke Rehabilitation: A Secondary Analysis of Data from Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of the study was to determine predictors for upper-limb functional recovery trajectory after occupational therapy in a population with chronic stroke.

Methods

In this retrospective secondary analysis, Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) scores before and after intervention and at the 3-month follow-up were used to divide 105 participants with chronic stroke into three groups of recovery trajectories: fast (participants who reached an improvement of 7 after intervention), extended (those who reached an improvement of 7 at follow-up), and limited (those who did not reach an improvement of 7) recovery. Comparisons among the three groups were made in demographics, stroke characteristics, and baseline assessment scores. Logistic regression anal
