The effectiveness of home therapy programmes for facilitating recovery of stroke patients' reaching movements was tested. Twenty-two patients were visited regulary at home for approximately 9 weeks following their discharge from a rehabilitation unit. Twelve patients were assessed and provided with a programme of exercises, while 10 were visited for assessment only. The home therapy group's performance on a peg transfer test improved significantly more than that of the control group. Compliance rates with the programmes were high. These results lead to suggestions for further evaluation of home therapy.
