Functional gain in hemorrhagic stroke patients is dependent on the functional level and cognitive abilities measured at hospital admission

In the December edition of Neurorehabilitation http://bit.ly/gv6q1R Dr. Cheng and his team from Occupational Therapy Department, MacLehose Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Hong Kong, China confirm that Functional gain in hemorrhagic stroke patients is dependent on the functional level and cognitive abilities measured at hospital admission. The functional ability can be predicted by age, pre-training functional level, and cognitive abilities measured at admission.

The HandTutor system can optimize rehabilitation outcome and functional movement ability by providing motivating virtual functional task practice.
