Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function 3 to 9 months after stroke: the EXCITE randomized clinical trial.
Steven L. Wolf,Carolee J. Winstein,J. Philip Miller,Edward Taub,Gitendra Uswatte,David M. Morris,Carol Giuliani,Kathye E. Light,Deborah S. Nichols-Larsen +8 more
TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as mentioned in this paper showed that a 2-week program of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for patients more than 1 year after stroke who maintain some hand and wrist movement can improve upper extremity function that persists for at least 1 year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing Frailty and Falls in Older Persons: An Investigation of Tai Chi and Computerized Balance Training
Steven L. Wolf,Huiman X. Barnhart,Nancy G. Kutner,Elizabeth McNeely,Carol Coogler,Tingsen Xu +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of two exercise approaches, Tai Chi and computerized balance training, on specified primary outcomes (biomedical, functional, and psychosocial indicators of frailty) and secondary outcomes (occurrence of falls) are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Exercise on Falls in Elderly Patients: A Preplanned Meta-analysis of the FICSIT Trials
Michael A. Province,Evan C. Hadley,Mark C. Hornbrook,Lewis A. Lipsitz,Jessica Miller,Cynthia D. Mulrow,Marcia G. Ory,Richard W. Sattin,Mary E. Tinetti,Steven L. Wolf +9 more
TL;DR: A preplanned meta-analysis of the seven Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques (FICSIT) trials that assessed intervention efficacy in reducing falls and frailty in elderly patients found treatments including exercise for elderly adults reduce the risk of falls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Wolf Motor Function Test as Outcome Measure for Research in Patients After Stroke
Steven L. Wolf,Pamela A. Catlin,Michael D. Ellis,Audrey Link Archer,Bryn Morgan,Aimee Piacentino +5 more
TL;DR: This study addresses selected psychometric attributes of the WMFT applied to a chronic stroke population with age- and sex-matched individuals without impairment to support its interrater reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forced use of hemiplegic upper extremities to reverse the effect of learned nonuse among chronic stroke and head-injured patients.
TL;DR: The data suggest that learned nonuse does occur in select neurological patients and that this behavior can be reversed through application of a forced use paradigm.
