Sixteen months later, massive left upper extremity impairment persisted. She then agreed to embark upon a guided self-rehabilitation contract (GSC). This GSC is a moral contract where the physician or therapist identifies specific muscles, particularly hypo-extensible and disabling that act as antagonists to functional activities. The physician or therapist then teaches and prescribes quantified daily high-load self-stretch postures for these muscles, alternating with repeated maximal amplitude movement exercises against their resistance. In turn, the patient commits to practicing the prescribed program and to delivering a diary of the stretch postures and alternating movement exercises performed each day. Over 4 years of GSC, the patient practiced upon prescription against a total of seven upper limb antagonists to common functional movements: shoulder extensors, shoulder internal rotators, elbow flexors, elbow pronators, wrist and finger flexors, and interossei muscles. She manually filled up her diary 99% of the days. Each day, she practiced an average of 20 min of high-load static self-stretch per muscle, alternating with about 50 maximal active efforts against the resistance of each targeted muscle's resistance. Overall, her mean static self-stretch time was 81 ± 2 (mean ± SEM) min/day, and her mean number of active maximal efforts was 285 ± 78/day, for a total daily self-rehabilitation time of over 2 h a day. Five years after her stroke, she had recovered all left upper extremity use in daily activities and resumed her previous job as a nurse's aide. She now spontaneously uses her left hand in most tasks. Functional MRI (March 2020) demonstrated bilateral primary motor and motor supplementary area activation upon left-hand exercise. Prolonged static self-stretch increased muscle extensibility (muscle plasticity) while maximal amplitude, alternating movement training reduced co-contraction in these muscles (neural plasticity). The Modified Frenchay Scale assessment was video-recorded by the clinician at each visit, allowing qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the functional capacities.
