Importance: Handedness and motor asymmetry are important features of occupational
performance. With an increased understanding of the basic neural mechanisms surrounding …

Background Ipsilesional motor impairments of the arm are common after stroke. Previous
studies have suggested that severity of contralesional arm impairment and/or hemisphere of …

The complementary dominance hypothesis is a novel model of motor lateralization
substantiated by decades of research examining interlimb differences in the control of upper …

The ipsilesional arm of stroke patients often has functionally limiting deficits in motor control
and dexterity that depend on the side of the brain that is lesioned and that increase with the …

There is growing evidence that after a stroke, sensorimotor deficits in the ipsilesional hand
are related to the degree of impairment in the contralesional upper extremity. Here, we …

Chronic stroke survivors with severe contralesional arm paresis face numerous challenges
to performing activities of daily living, which largely rely on the use of the less-affected …

Background and Purpose: The corticospinal tract (CST) is a crucial brain pathway for distal
arm and hand motor control. We aimed to determine whether a diffusion tensor imaging …

In hemiplegic patients with stroke, investigating the ipsilesional limb may shed light on the
upper limb motor control, impairments and mechanisms of functional recovery. Usually …

Most actions of daily life engage the two upper extremities (UEs) in a highly coordinated
manner. While it is recognized that bimanual movements are impaired post-stroke …

A goal of rehabilitation after stroke is to promote pre-stroke levels of arm use for every day,
frequently bimanual, functional activities. We reasoned that, after a stroke, the choice to use …
