Objective To determine inter-rater reliability, minimal detectable change and responsiveness
of Tonic Stretch Reflex Threshold (TSRT) as a quantitative measure of elbow flexor …

The cortical motor system can be reorganized following a stroke, with increased recruitment
of the contralesional hemisphere. However, it is unknown whether a similar hemispheric …

Background. Abnormal muscle co-activation contributes to impairment after stroke. We
developed a myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training paradigm to reduce abnormal …

Objective The flexion and extension synergies were quantified at the paretic elbow, forearm,
wrist, and finger joints within the same group of participants for the first time. Differences in …

The neural control of muscular activity during a voluntary movement implies a continuous
updating of a mix of afferent and efferent information. Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is a …

In chronic hemiparetic stroke, increased shoulder abductor activity causes involuntary
increases in elbow, wrist, and finger flexor activation, an abnormal muscle coactivation …

Background Stroke-related sensory and motor deficits often steal away the independent
mobility and balance from stroke survivors. Often, this compels the stroke survivors to rely …

A hallmark impairment in a hemiparetic stroke is a loss of independent joint control resulting
in abnormal co-activation of shoulder abductor and elbow flexor muscles in their paretic arm …

Background: The assessment of muscle properties is an essential prerequisite in the
treatment of post-stroke patients with limb spasticity. Most existing spasticity assessment …

Coupling of neural oscillations is essential for the transmission of cortical motor commands
to motoneuron pools through direct and indirect descending motor pathways. Most studies …
