Improving arm function after stroke using task specific training

全世界每年有1500万人中风，其中85%的人不能用手臂完成吃饭和如厕等基本任务。在通常的卫生保健服务下，60%的中风幸存者在中风6个月后仍有不能正常工作的手臂。需要更有效的治疗方法。特定任务训练可能比常规护理更能改善手臂和手的功能。我们将进行一项多中心随机对照试验，以检验特定任务培训是否比常规护理更有效。

85% of the 15 million people in the world annually who have a stroke cannot use their arm for basic tasks like eating and toileting. With usual health care services, 60% of stroke survivors still have non-functional arms 6 months after stroke. More effective treatments are needed. Task-specific training may improve arm and hand function more than usual care. We will conduct a multicentre randomised controlled trial to test whether task-specific training is more effective than usual care.
