Assessment of upper-limb sensorimotor function of subacute stroke patients using visually guided reaching.
OBJECTIVE Using robotic technology, we examined the ability of a visually guided reaching task to assess the sensorimotor function of patients with stroke. METHODS Ninety-one healthy participants and 52 with subacute stroke of mild to moderate severity (26 with left- and 26 with right-affected body sides) performed an unassisted reaching task using the KINARM robot. Each participant was asses...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients: A Single Case Experimental Design
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) on upper limb (UL) function of sub-acute stroke patients. Methods: This study is a single case experimental design with two participants. Twenty minutes of MT were implemented four times a week over a period of four weeks. For baseline phase, repeated measurements were performed six times for one participant and four times for the ...
متن کاملPredictive Value of Somatosensation for Manual Dexterity and Upper Limb Motor Function in Stroke Survivors
Objectives: One of the most disabling impairments following stroke is upper limb impairment. Despite the important role of somatosensory function in motor control and high prevalence of somatosensory deficits in stroke survivors, little attention has been paid to its effect on UE motor function in chronic stroke survivors. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the correlation between differ...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Upper Limb Function and Participation and Independence in Daily Activities of Life in People With Stroke
Objective: Upperlimb function impairment is one of the most common consequences of stroke and a part of the motor functions, that has been considered as a necessary basis for the implementation of various of occupation and participation. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between upper extremity function and level of participation and independence in the activit...
متن کاملStrength training improves upper-limb function in individuals with stroke: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE After stroke, maximal voluntary force is reduced in the arm and hand muscles, and upper-limb strength training is 1 intervention with the potential to improve function. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Electronic databases were searched from 1950 through April 2009. Strength training articles were assessed according to outcomes: stre...
