Re: 'Potential effectiveness of three different treatment approaches to improve minimal to moderate arm and hand function after stroke - A pilot randomized controlled clinical trial'

摘要

We read with interest the article of three different approaches to improve arm and hand function.1 The study confirms the difficulty in doing clinical studies on conditions in stroke rehabilitation. It is not easy to get samples big enough to do research on specific problems in treatment. On the other hand, the study is also an example of trying to prove too many things in one sample. As we understand it the authors wanted to see if the treatment approaches were feasible within this patient group.
