What did your stroke hospital do with this in the 8 years since it came out? The answer will tell you if their incompetence is NOT KNOWING OR NOT DOING. Which do you prefer?

Background
With an increased focus on home-based stroke services and the undertaking of programmes, targeted at upper limb recovery within clinical practice, a systematic review of home-based therapy programmes for individuals with upper limb impairment following stroke was required.
Objectives
To determine the effects of home-based therapy programmes for upper limb recovery in patients with upper limb impairment following stroke.
Search methods
We searched the Cochrane Stroke Group’s Specialised Trials Register (May 2011), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials(CENTRAL) (
The Cochrane Library
2011, Issue 2), MEDLINE (1950 to May 2011), EMBASE (1980 to May 2011), AMED (1985to May 2011) and six additional databases. We also searched reference lists and trials registers.
Selection criteria
Randomised controlled trials(RCTs) in adults after stroke, where the intervention was a home-based therapy programme targeted at the upper limb, compared with placebo, or no intervention or usual care. Primary outcomes were performance in activities of daily living (ADL) and functional movement of the upper limb. Secondary outcomes were performance in extended ADL and motor impairment of the arm.
Data collection and analysis
Two review authors independently screened abstracts, extracted data and appraised trials. We undertook assessment of risk of bias in terms of method of randomisation and allocation concealment (selection bias), blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias), whether all the randomised patients were accounted for in the analysis (attrition bias) and the presence of selective outcome reporting.
