Each program lasted for 8 weeks. All subjects were evaluated at the start of the program and at weekly intervals until the next of the program. Group E and F patients were treated in the Occupational Therapy Department of a large Brisbane repatriation hospital. Group G patients were located in the wards of a large State Hospital in Brisbane. The recovery status of each subject at each time was evaluated using the Goteburg Evaluation of Hemiplegia and the Barthel Index.
