Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

We present a task-specific protocol that is occupation-based and has been used in registered clinical trials. Analysis of data from a control group that received only the task-specific protocol indicated significant pre-/postintervention improvements found in the Wolf Motor Function Test.
