Repetitive training of isolated movements improves the outcome of motor rehabilitation of the centrally paretic hand
TL;DR: The results of the present study emphasize the importance of frequent movement repetition for the motor rehabilitation of the centrally paretic hand and challenge conventional physiotherapeutic strategies that focus on spasticity reduction instead of early initiation of active movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor learning after recovery from hemiparesis
TL;DR: Recovery from hemiparesis was accompanied by reduced skillfulness and automaticity of motor control, and hemiparetic patients had a higher demand for time and corrections, as well as a reduced consistency of performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing a motor performance series and a kinematic motion analysis as measures of performance in high-functioning stroke patients: Reliability, validity, and responsiveness to therapeutic intervention
TL;DR: All tests (except the bimanual test) can be used for both cross-sectional and follow-up group studies with high-functioning stroke patients and showed a moderately high to high test-retest reliability without systematic trend from test to retest.
