Does repetitive task training improve functional activity after stroke? A Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Repetitive task training resulted in modest improvement across a range of lower limb outcome measures, but not upper limb outcome measures. Training may be sufficient to have a small impact on activities of daily living.
