The objective of this study is to identify the potential benefits of a home-based,
intervention designed to facilitate carepartners' roles in stroke survivor rehabilitation.
Stroke survivors and caregivers will participate in pairs. Stroke survivors will receive
constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT). Caregivers of stroke survivors will be randomized
to traditional caregiver education or a web based intervention for the duration of stroke
survivor therapy. By learning the best way to involve family members in therapy,
investigators hope to decrease the harmful effects of stroke.
