Trial name or title Effects of strength <strong>training</strong> on upper-limb function in post-<strong>stroke</strong> hemiparesis<br />
Methods Randomised clinical trial; single group assignment; double blind<br />
Participants 60 adults, males and females, 18 years of older<br />
Interventions Intervention: standard functional rehabilitation (SFR) combined with high-intensity resistance exercise<br />

Control: SFR<br />
Outcomes Outcome measures will include strength (maximal voluntary isovelocity joint torque), hypertonia (onset<br />
threshold of the stretch reflex, Modified Ashworth Scale), standard clinical assessment of activities of daily<br />
living (Barthel Index, Functional Independence Measure), and upper extremity motor function (Fugl-Meyer<br />
