Stroke accelerated skill acquisition program task oriented training action observation execution stroke
Conditions
Interventions
Motor training program based on accelerated skill acquisition program in which task oriented training (skills),
impairment mitigation (capacity) and motivation are integrated. The patient selected task is the driver to gain skills. Action observation execution was administered to prime the motor training,After
the participants were given dose equivalent usual care (routine physical therapy treatment).
Note: We had randomly allocated each participant of the matched pair into either experimental or control
each pair represented a unit) and the other pair automatically assigned to the next group. So we called matched pair randomized allocation. Since,
there was no option to select this type of allocation,
we described it here in this section.
