Where is the EXACT PROTOCOL located so survivors can find it and bring it to their stroke medical 'professionals' attention? With no location, you did fucking useless research!

Abstract:
Objective:
To see the effect of bilateral arm training on the
upper limb function.
Subject and Method:
30 subjects diagnosed with
sub-acute stroke were assigned to study.
Intervention
In form of
Conventional & Bilateral arm training were given for 5 Days per week
for four weeks. Upper extremity function test was evaluated by Fugl
Meyer Assessment, Motor activity log scale and action research arm test
pre-& post treatment. Relationship and responsiveness of all
clinical test were performed by Wilcoxon signed ranks test and
Mann-Whitney test respectively.
Result:
All correlations were
significant at 95% C.I. at baseline as well as four-week time. There is
increasing bilateral arm training function on upper limb while comparing
to conventional therapy in four-week protocol.
Conclusion:
On the basis
of present study, it can be concluded that Bilateral arm training can
be beneficial in improving upper limb function in sub-acute stroke
patient when it compares to the Conventional therapy by using the Fugl
Meyer assessment scale, Motor activity log scale and action research arm
test.
