Purpose: Stroke is one of the most common causes disability because functional, cognitive, and psychological issues. Motor deficits in afflicted upper extremity affect about 50% stroke survivors. To evaluate effects modified constraint-induced movement therapy(mCIMT) on hemiparetic right/left limb functions quality life(QOL).
 Materials Methods: In this prospective, randomized, controlled single-blind study, 40 patients were assigned to right-mCIMT(n=10), left-mCIMT(n=10), or control(n=20). mCIMT was applied 4h/day, 2 weeks, 10-sessions. A conventional rehabilitation program all patients. Patients evaluated using Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA), Activity Log(MAL), Impact Scale(SIS), Box-Block Test(BBT), number repetitions shaping exercises, duration task exercise.
 Results: There a statistically significant improvement FMA left-mCIMT group(p
