Strategies for Recovery of Dexterity Post Stroke

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke With Hemiparesis

In brief

Motor learning can be affected by the sensory difficulties that may be experienced as a result of a stroke. This study will help us better understand what kinds of sensory information can help with the re-learning of grasping with the affected hand despite the sensory difficulties produced by the stroke.
