Summary

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.

Perceptual cuing

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
