A Randomized Controlled Evaluation of a Repetitive Facilitative Exercise Program for Adults With an Established Stroke and Upper Extremity Impairment
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a novel therapy approach (repetitive
facilitative exercise (RFE)) is more effective than conventional rehabilitation in
facilitating the recovery of upper extremity function following stroke.
