Depressive symptoms after stroke have been associated with negative outcomes, including poorer functional ability, less efficient use of rehabilitation services, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. It has been anecdotally noted that depressive symptoms do not limit motor recovery in patients who undergo Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), an efficacious intervention for chronic poststroke hemiparesis. Here we analyze depressive symptom and motor scores from 40 participants who received CIMT in 2 previously published studies.
