The role of self-efficacy in the predictive relationship of motor ability to functional performance after task-related training in stroke: A secondary analysis of longitudinal data

Objective: To determine whether self-efficacy (SE) mediates or moderates the relationship between motor ability at pretest and functional use of the affected arm at posttest in task-related training for stroke.Design: Retrospective, observational cohort study.Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation settings.Participants: Eighty patients with chronic stroke.Interventions: The training was delivered to the participants for 60 to 90 minutes/session, 3 to 5 sessions/week for 4 to 6 weeks. The training involved specific robot-assisted, mirror, or combined therapy, followed by functional task practice for approximately 30 minutes in each session.
