Notes
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	High risk	Information provided only in the abstract Quote: "Key words: Barthel Index, CIMT, stroke randomized control study"
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	No information provided
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Quote: "The occupational therapist and the two physical therapists were double‐blinded to the therapy and group assignment of the patients"
Incomplete outcome data addressed? (Post‐treatment)	Unclear risk	Quote: "The BI was measured at the beginning of the rehabilitation program and at the discharge from rehabilitation. The BI was also re‐evaluated at 6 months post discharge in 18 patients (64% of the initial experimental group)"
