Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Wolf Motor Function Test as Outcome Measure for Research in Patients After Stroke
Steven L. Wolf,Pamela A. Catlin,Michael D. Ellis,Audrey Link Archer,Bryn Morgan,Aimee Piacentino +5 more
TL;DR: This study addresses selected psychometric attributes of the WMFT applied to a chronic stroke population with age- and sex-matched individuals without impairment to support its interrater reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shoulder abduction-induced reductions in reaching work area following hemiparetic stroke: neuroscientific implications.
TL;DR: An incremental increase of abnormal coupling of elbow flexion for greater levels of shoulder abduction in the paretic limb that results in a reduction in available work area as a function of active limb support is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of gravity loading on post-stroke reaching and its relationship to weakness.
Randall F. Beer,Randall F. Beer,Michael D. Ellis,Michael D. Ellis,Bradley G. Holubar,Julius P. A. Dewald +5 more
TL;DR: The findings support the existence of abnormal descending motor commands that constrain the ability of stroke survivors to generate elbow extension torque in combination with abduction torque at the shoulder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive Shoulder Abduction Loading is a Crucial Element of Arm Rehabilitation in Chronic Stroke
TL;DR: Progressive shoulder abduction loading can be utilized to ameliorate reaching range of motion against gravity to enhance real-world arm function in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Augmenting clinical evaluation of hemiparetic arm movement with a laboratory-based quantitative measurement of kinematics as a function of limb loading.
TL;DR: Reaching work area during various loading conditions is a robust measurement that quantifies the effect of abnormal joint torque coupling and provides useful data that can be applied in the clinical setting.
