The pervasive nature of handedness across human history and cultures is a salient
consequence of brain lateralization. This paper presents evidence that provides a structure …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal
cord injury, are leading causes of long-term disability. It is estimated that more than half of …

An account of the neurobiology of motor recovery in the arm and hand after stroke by two
experts in the field. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults and recovery is often …

Whereas voluntary movements have long been understood to derive primarily from the
cortical hemisphere contralateral to a moving limb, substantial cortical activations also occur …

In generating a point-to-point movement, the brain does more than produce the transient
commands needed to move the body part; it also produces the sustained commands that are …

Background. An increasing number of studies have indicated that the ipsilesional arm may
be impaired after stroke. There is, however, a lack of knowledge whether ipsilesional deficits …

Research in both humans and monkeys has shown that even simple hand movements
require cortical control beyond primary sensorimotor areas. An extensive functional …

Two contrasting views of handedness can be described as 1) complementary dominance, in
which each hemisphere is specialized for different aspects of motor control, and 2) global …

Background Biomarkers derived from neural activity of the brain present a vital tool for the
prediction and evaluation of post-stroke motor recovery, as well as for real-time biofeedback …

Abstract The Box and Block Test (BBT) has been widely used to assess gross upper
extremity (UE) motor function. We designed a haptic-feedback virtual reality (VR) system …
