A trial of multifaceted training for acute stroke patients with hemiplegic arms: A case series

If this truly was a success then write it up as a proposed stroke protocol and distribute it to all 10 million yearly stroke survivors now and into the future.  We can't wait until further research is done. Needed since we have fucking failures of stroke associations  DOING NOTHING.

Abstract: 

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of a combined intervention, including intensive training in the acute phase, from stroke onset for improving affected upper-extremity function and use in activities of daily living. Participants were five patients in the acute phase after stroke onset, whose non-paralyzed arm was not physically restrained, while intensive upper-extremity training combined with supplementary methods was employed two hours a day for about three weeks. Results indicate significant improvements in the affected upper-extremity function and the amount and quality of real-world arm use. In addition, no adverse events were observed during the intervention period. Therefore, these results suggest that shortened intensive training in the acute phase from the onset of stroke might be a meaningful method to improve the affected upper-extremity function and use in activities of daily living. However, to completely demonstrate the effect of this intervention protocol in the acute phase from stroke onset, further investigations, using randomized controlled trials with control groups, will have to be carried out in the future.
