Interventions

  • Perceptual cuing — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants were provided four perceptual cues (or feedback) in a pseudorandom order: (a) indiscriminate, (b) Altered gain, (c) Coordination, (d) Dual: altered gain and coordination

Study Details

Significant difficulty in incorporating the weaker arm in daily activities after stroke is, in part, driven by difficulty in engaging both arms interactively in a coordinated manner. The current study aims to determine the nature of bimanual coordination deficits after stroke and takes initial steps to test a novel theory-driven approach to improve interactive bimanual coordination in patients with stroke. This project will advance stroke rehabilitation by identifying novel, scientifically-based strategies to improve the engagement of the weaker arm in coordinated and interactive bimanual actions of daily life, thus improving quality of life in individuals after stroke.
