Poor upper limb performance despite the absence of notable upper limb motor impairment in adults with acute stroke – the influence of cognitive deficits
Almost 40% of adults with acute stroke, who do display minimal upper limb impairments, demonstrate poor performance in upper limb tasks, attributed to impaired general cognition, spatial neglect, and/or, to a lesser extent, upper limb apraxia. Hence, there is need for cognitive-motor therapies to be integrated into early rehabilitation settings to address these challenges effectively.
