Dose, Content, and Context of Usual Care in Stroke Upper Limb Motor Interventions: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSION: Upper limb motor intervention dose appears to be increasing in usual care compared to prior reports (e.g., average 21 min/day and 23 to 32 repetitions/session). Context variability suggests that doses are lowest in the stratum of patients with a severely impaired upper limb. Consistent reporting of the multiple dimensions of dose and content is necessary to better understand usual care offered during inpatient rehabilitation.PMID:37151039 | DOI:10.1177/02692155231172295
