AI-Summary
What this Trial Is About
There has been an observed decrease in motor and functional ability and non-use of the impaired limb in chronic patients. This is due to the immediate drop in intensive daily therapy (5 days per week for 3 hours/day) that is usually provided during the inpatient (acute) phase upon discharge from the hospital. In this study, the investigators plan to address the low dosage of therapy in the post-acute discharge phase for stroke survivors.
