Evidence for a distributed hierarchy of action representation in the brain

ST Grafton, AFC Hamilton - Human movement science, 2007 - Elsevier

Hemispheric specialization and functional impact of ipsilesional deficits in movement coordination and accuracy

SY Schaefer, KY Haaland, RL Sainburg - Neuropsychologia, 2009 - Elsevier
Previous studies have demonstrated that following unilateral stroke, motor impairment
