Home‐based therapy programmes for upper limb functional recovery following stroke

Protocol

Differences between protocol and review

We included as additional comparison, studies that compared home therapy programmes for the upper limb with the same therapy in hospital, as these were relevant to achieving the objective of the review ‐ to assess the effectiveness of home therapy programmes for the upper limb ‐ but did not fit within the category of either placebo or usual care .

The protocol stated that we would search OT Search. Following advice from the Cochrane Stroke Group's Trials Search Co‐ordinator, we did not conduct this search as this database now requires subscription.

The protocol stated that we would identify and handsearch relevant journals and conference proceedings that had not been searched on behalf of The Cochrane Collaboration. We did not identify any relevant journals and so carried out no handsearching.

PICOs

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.
