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 …

There is a lack of consistency among researchers and clinicians in the use of terminology
that describes changes in motor ability following neurological injury. Specifically, the terms …

A major prerequisite for successful rehabilitation therapy after stroke is the understanding of
the mechanisms underlying motor deficits common to these patients. Studies have shown …

Objective. Using robotic technology, we examined the ability of a visually guided reaching
task to assess the sensorimotor function of patients with stroke. Methods. Ninety-one healthy …

Background and Purpose—After stroke, many individuals have chronic unilateral motor
dysfunction in the upper extremity that severely limits their functional movement control. The …

STUDY DESIGN: Predictive. INTRODUCTION: Upper limb (UL) impairments are one of the
most common disabling deficits after stroke and have complex relationships with activity and …

Objectives–To examine the mechanisms of alternative strategies developed by stroke
patients to compensate their motor impairment and their role in recovery. Material and …

This study provides a detailed analysis of disturbances in the kinematics and dynamics of
the acceleration phase of multijoint arm movements in six patients with chronic hemiparesis …

Background. A major challenge in stroke rehabilitation is restoration of arm motor function.
Therapy-induced improvements in arm function may occur via restoration of premorbid …

Hemiparetic subjects present with movement deficits including weakness, spasticity and an
inability to isolate movement to one or a few joints. Voluntary attempts to move a single joint …
