    The Constraint-induced Movement therapy (CIMT) is an intervention which main goal is the recuperation of affected upper extremity in hemiparetic patients with acquired encephalic lesion. Its protocol consists by an intensive treatment of two consecutive weeks with six hours of exercises and the wear of arm sling in non affected upper arm during 90% of daily activities. The motor improvement of CIMT is validity by the functional evaluation scales of upper extremity (FESUE) Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT). Objective: Realize a comparative analysis between both scales. Methodology: The FESUE had been applied during four different times in 17 patients with diagnosis of ischemic stroke, who made individually the CIMT during two weeks and six hours of exercises and after made a comparative analysis between the FESUE by time for application, time for preparation of the table, reproducibility and factorial analysis. Results: Decreased in score of FESUE WMFT and increased in score of FESUE ARAT after CIMT, no significant variation in the score between before and after CIMT of the FESUE, decreased in time to preparation the table and application of FESUE in both scales and the factorial analysis showed two and three qualitative components in FESUE ARAT and WMFT, respectively. Conclusions: Both FESUE can measure the therapeutics gains of CIMT, with high reproducibility, but the time for application and preparation of the table are minor in FESUE ARAT and only the FESUE WMFT shows the qualitative component “laterality”.
