Abstract: 

Study determined the effects of priming on task-oriented training on upper-extremity outcomes (body function and activity) in chronic stroke. The PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and PEDro databases were searched for relevant studies. Outcome data were pooled into categories of measures considering the International Classification Functional (ICF) classifications of body function and activity. Means and standard deviations for each group were used to determine group effect sizes by calculating mean differences (MDs) and 95-percent confidence (95%CI) intervals via a fixed effects model. Thirty-six studies with 814 patients undergoing various types of task-oriented training were included in the analysis. Of these studies, 17 were associated with stimulation priming, 12 with sensory priming, 4 with movement priming, and 3 with action observation priming. Stimulation priming showed moderate-quality evidence of body function. Only the Wolf Motor Function Test (time) in the activity domain showed low-quality evidence. However, gains in motor function and in use of extremity members were measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UE-FMA). Regarding sensory priming, moderate-quality evidence and effect size were found for the UE-FMA, corresponding to the body function domain (MD 4.77, 95%CI 3.25-6.29), and for the Action Research Arm Test, corresponding to the activity domain (MD 7.47, 95%CI 4.52-10.42). Despite the low-quality evidence, the study found an effect size (MD 8.64, 95%CI 10.85-16.43) in movement priming. Evidence for action observation priming was inconclusive. The findings suggest that combining priming and task-oriented training for the upper extremities of chronic stroke patients can be a promising intervention strategy.
