Compensatory Proximal Adjustments Characterize Effective Reaching Movements After Stroke
Arm motor control in this cohort of well-recovered patients with stroke showed near-complete restoration of distal end point kinematics but significant differences in the timing of proximal intrajoint and interjoint coordination. These findings suggest compensatory adjustments in shoulder and elbow movements to achieve functional goals like reaching. An enhanced understanding of these strategies can inform targeted interventions to improve upper limb capability poststroke.
