Summary

Stroke survivors often encounter impairments in the upper limb after stroke. Sensorimotor impairments are present in 67% of the stroke patients, resulting in problems with independency and performance of activities of daily life. In addition, the pattern of recovery in the brain is still a matter of ongoing debate. Although the importance of somatosensory function on motor performance is well described, evidence for somatosensory or sensorimotor therapy and brain-related changes is scares. Therefore, we aim to explore the effect of a sensorimotor therapy compared to pure motor therapy on motor function of the upper limb. A second objective is to investigate therapy-induced brain-behavior associations using resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

additional sensorimotor therapy for the upper limb

The intervention will consist of additional physiotherapy for the upper limb after stroke consisting of sensory discrimination training and sensorimotor training.

OTHER

additional motor therapy for the upper limb after stroke

The intervention will consist of additional physiotherapy for the upper limb after stroke consisting of cognitive-attention based training and motor training
