Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Have suffered an infarct or haemorrhage in the anterior cerebral circulation,
confirmed by neuroimaging, 8 to 84 days before recruitment

- Have a paralysed or severely paretic upper limb as measured by a score of 61/100 or
less on the Motricity Index Arm Section17

Exclusion Criteria:

- Clinically important pain affecting the upper arm or shoulder when recruited to this
study

- Visible upper limb movement deficits attributable to pathology other than stroke

- Unable to follow a 1-stage command using their non-paretic upper limb (ie severe
communication or other cognitive deficits precluding ability to participate in MTS).
