Upper-Limb Paresis Severity Is Associated With Practice Dosage During Task-Oriented Training in Subacute Stroke-An Exploratory Secondary Analysis.

A secondary analysis of subacute stroke patients found that the degree of upper-limb paresis was significantly linked to the amount of practice patients completed during task-oriented training. Researchers suggest that therapists should account for impairment severity when planning and interpreting training dosage in upper-extremity rehabilitation following stroke. These findings highlight the importance of individualizing practice volume based on motor deficit level in the subacute recovery phase.
