This trial tested HABIT (Hand Activities Behavior Intervention), a new occupational therapy program designed to help stroke survivors use their weaker hand more in daily life. Rather than focusing only on physical exercises, the program worked on confidence, motivation, and problem-solving to make hand use feel more natural and achievable. The trial examined whether this approach was practical to deliver and whether it actually worked.
Many stroke survivors have the physical ability to use their weaker hand but avoid using it in everyday activities because they lack confidence or feel frustrated. This trial was designed to test whether a program focused on changing habits and building confidence—rather than just physical therapy—could help people actually use their weaker hand more often.
Participants attended 10 therapy sessions over 5 weeks (2 sessions per week) in small groups of 5–8 people. Each session included group discussions about challenges using their weaker hand, problem-solving exercises, home activities to practice, and dual-task activities designed to build confidence and habits. The program focused on raising awareness about hand use and practicing real-world strategies to incorporate the weaker hand into daily life.
