Background Peripheral nerve injuries and central neurologic conditions can result in
extensive disabilities. In cases with unilateral impairment, assessing the asymmetry between …

Objective Increased muscle co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles during
voluntary movement is commonly observed in the upper limbs of stroke survivors. Much …

Surface electromyography-biofeedback (sEMG-B) is a technique employed for the
rehabilitation of patients with neurological pathologies, such as stroke-derived hemiplegia; …

There are aging-and stroke-induced changes on sensorimotor control in daily activities, but
their mechanisms have not been well investigated. This study explored speed-, aging-, and …

Introduction Activation of the unaffected hemisphere contributes to motor function recovery
post stroke in patients with severe upper limb motor paralysis. Transcranial direct current …

Background: Spasticity is a motor disorder that is commonly treated manually by a physical
therapist (PhT) stretching the muscles. Recent data on learning have demonstrated the …

Stroke patients often have difficulty completing motor tasks even after substantive
rehabilitation. Poor recovery of motor function can often be linked to stroke-induced damage …

Poststroke weakness on the more-affected side may arise from reduced corticospinal drive,
disuse muscle atrophy, spasticity, and abnormal coordination. This study investigated …

Impaired motor control post-stroke is typically measured using clinical assessments
employing categorical and subjective scoring. We investigated quantitative kinematic …

This study aimed to investigate muscle synergies from major muscles that contribute to each
degree of freedom (DOF) in a low DOF task with trunk restraint during a fundamental …
