[Purpose] The purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) on upper extremity function and occupational performance stroke patients. [Participants Methods] An experimental study carried out two groups 7 participants selected by a specific criterion. group received mCIMT as well conventional rehabilitation (CRT) for 5 days per week over 2 period. control only CRT. Outcome measures included Manual Function Test (MFT), Motor Activity Log (MAL), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). [Results] Average amount changes in MAL COPM is different statistical analysis between CRT before after intervention. showed significant improvements MFT, MAL, [Conclusion] We suggest that improves patients better than alone.
