Mechanisms of Upper-Extremity Motor Recovery in Post-stroke Hemiparesis

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cerebrovascular Accident

In brief

The results of this study will provide sound, scientific evidence of physiologic mechanisms responsible for upper-extremity weakness; evidence of the processes involved in neuromuscular adaptation; and will elucidate the relationship between impairment and motor disability in post-stroke hemiparesis.
