Also look into Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Can be miraculous - but not cheap.

Reading this from a PT standpoint and thus reading between the lines, don't get your hopes up too high. I'd like to see the actual study results to see what they consider "impressive" results.

First, to push/pull a T bar you have to have some function in the extremity to start with.

Second, "traditional physical therapy" consists of a lot more than just passive movement, though by the time someone is a couple or three years out from the CVA, that may be all the family is doing (if that much). This "new technique" sounds a lot like some of the techniques already being done under different names (PNF, Bobath, reciprocal inhibition, facilitation, etc., etc.) On the plus side, it doesn't sound very expensive or something that requires an unreasonable investment of time on the part of the family like some previous "miracle" treatments (such as patterning or Doman Delacado [sp?]).
