Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of task oriented activity and
modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) on Quality of Life (QOL) for patients
with stroke.
Methods : Thirty stroke patients were participated voluntarily and were assigned randomly into
task oriented activity and mCIMT groups. The QOL of both groups were assessed using Stroke
Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL).
Results : The QOL showed a statistically meaningful difference for both groups (p <.05), but
after the intervention, the both groups showed no statistically meaningful difference in terms
of the QOL (p >.05).
Conclusion : We found that task oriented activity and mCIMT improve the QOL of patients with
stroke through increasing their affected upper extremity function and movement. It is expected
that task oriented activity and mCIMT will have a positive effect on the QOL of stroke patients
by applying them to clinic with occupational therapy.
