Use of the more-affected arm, as recorded by the Motor Activity Log Amount of Use (MAL AOU) subscale: (A) 1 week after therapy and (B) 1 year after therapy as a function of arm and hand function (Functional Ability Scale [FAS]) 1 week after therapy for subjects of the EXCITE trial. (C) Comparison of the sigmoidal fit of use 1 week after therapy and 1 year after therapy. The intersection of the 2 curves gives the functional threshold (FAS score=3.44) above which uses increases and below which use decreases. The upward arrow indicates that 68.2% of subjects above threshold showed increased arm use after therapy. The downward arrow indicates that 63.5% of subjects below threshold showed decreased arm use after therapy.
