Physiotherapy Coupled With Dextroamphetamine for Rehabilitation After Hemiparetic Stroke
Stroke 37:179-185, Gladstone,D.J.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In stroke patients with a severe motor deficit, 10 mg AMPH coupled with physiotherapy twice per week for 5 weeks in the early poststroke period provided no additional benefit in motor or functional recovery compared with physiotherapy alone. Patients with moderate severity hemiparesis deserve further investigation. Increased intensity and longer duration drug/therapy dosing regimens should be explored, targeting the upper and lower limbs separately.
