Notes
Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Quote: "patients were randomly assigned to either the control group or the CIMT group"
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	Information not reported
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	Information not reported
Incomplete outcome data addressed? (Post‐treatment)	High risk	Quote: "Four of the 13 patients in the CIMT group did not complete [the] program. It seems that all 4 patients discontinued participation due to difficulties in performing some ADLs such as eating, dressing, dialling the phone, opening a door or operating a remote control"
