Force control deficits are common dysfunctions after a stroke. This review concentrates on
various force control variables associated with motor impairments and suggests new …

OBJECTIVE: This study determined the nature of bimanual deficits during visually-guided
isometric force production in chronic stroke. METHODS: Stroke survivors and age-matched …

Stroke leads to motor asymmetries in the flexor and extensor muscles of the hand. Typically,
the strength deficits in the extensors are greater than the flexors. The impact of differential …

Background and Purpose: Damage to motor areas of the brain caused by stroke can
produce devastating motor deficits, including aberrant control of force. Reorganization of …

Visual information is critical to producing and controlling force output to achieve targeted
levels. This study investigated bimanual force control in chronic stroke individuals while …

Increased force variability constitutes a hallmark of arm disabilities following stroke. Force
variability is related to the modulation of force below 1 Hz in healthy young and older adults …

Background and purpose High-functioning stroke survivors with mild to moderate motor
impairments show greater functional autonomy in activities of daily living, and often return to …

The aim of the study was to develop a novel approach for quantifying stair-stepping in a
trajectory tracking task with the goal of understanding how age and stroke-related …

OBJECTIVE: This study determined the variability and regularity of force production in
impaired upper extremities of chronic stroke survivors. Two hypotheses included:(1) stroke …

The generation of isometric force at the hand can be mediated by activating a few motor
modules. Stroke induces alterations in motor modules underlying steady-state isometric …
