Stroke instigates a dynamic process of repair and remodelling of remaining neural circuits,
and this process is shaped by behavioural experiences. The onset of motor disability …

Impairments in dexterous upper limb function are a significant cause of disability following
stroke. While the physiological basis of movement deficits consequent to a lesion in the …

Effortlessly performing activities of daily living constitutes a cornerstone of our personal
independence. Naturally, various forms of upper limb impairments can have a substantial …

Cortical and subcortical plastic reorganization occurs in the course of motor recovery after
stroke. It is largely accepted that plasticity of ipsilesional motor cortex primarily contributes to …

Background: Stroke often results in motor impairment and limited functional capacity. This
study aimed to verify the relationship between widely used clinical scales and instrumented …

Background The Box and Block Test (BBT) is a functional outcome measure that is
commonly used across multiple clinical populations due to its benefits of ease and speed of …

There is a lack of conceptual and theoretical clarity among clinicians and researchers
regarding the control of motor actions based on the use of the term “motor control.” It is …

Socially assistive robots (SARs) have been proposed to assist post-stroke patients in
performing their exercise during their rehabilitation process, with the trust in the robot …

Background. Movement is described in terms of task-related end point characteristics in
external space and movement quality (joint rotations in body space). Assessment of upper …

Background. Quantitative assessment of motor function is extremely important for poststroke
patients as it can be used to develop personalized treatment strategies. This study aimed to …
