Assessing the usage of indirect motor pathways following a hemiparetic stroke
2020-12-24
Abstract excerpt
A hallmark impairment in a hemiparetic stroke is a loss of independent joint control resulting in abnormal co-activation of shoulder abductor and elbow flexor muscles in their paretic arm, clinically known as the flexion synergy. The flexion synergy appears while generating shoulder abduction (SABD) torques as lifting the paretic arm. This likely be caused by an increased reliance on contralesional indirect motor...
