Objective To establish the time course of recovery regarding smoothness of upper limb
movements in the first 6 months poststroke. Design Cohort study with 3-dimensional …

Background. During upper limb motor recovery after stroke, the greatest improvements occur
typically in the first 5 weeks poststroke. It is unclear what patients learn during this early …

Objective To investigate the time-related changes in motor performance of the ipsilesional
upper limb in subacute poststroke patients by using clinical and kinematic assessments …

Background and Purpose It is largely unknown how adaptive motor control of the paretic
upper limb contributes to functional recovery after stroke. This paucity of knowledge …

Background. Kinematic assessment of upper limb motor recovery after stroke may be related
to clinical scores while being more sensitive and reliable than clinical evaluation alone …

Purpose: A number of longitudinal studies show that about one third of all patients regain
dexterity following a stroke. However, the determinants of improvement of upper limb …

Background. Studies demonstrate that most arm motor recovery occurs within three months
after stroke, when measured with standard clinical scales. Improvements on these …

Background Reduction of compensation and improved movement quality indicate recovery
after stroke. Since clinical measures alone are often inadequate to distinguish between …

Background. Although slow and insufficient muscle activation is a hallmark of hemiparesis
poststroke, movement speed is rarely emphasized during upper-extremity rehabilitation …

Background and Objective. Loss of hand function in people with hemiparesis is a major
contributor to disability poststroke. To use the hand for functional activities, a person may …
