AI Article Synopsis
- Proprioception is crucial for upper extremity function but often declines after a stroke, highlighting a gap in effective neurorehabilitation treatments.
- The authors explore reasons for the lack of evidence-based options, reviewing typical assessments and studies focused on proprioceptive interventions.
- Increased understanding of proprioceptive deficits' impact on motor performance underscores the need for targeted rehabilitation strategies to enhance daily functioning post-stroke.
Article Abstract
Proprioception is an important aspect of function that is often impaired in the upper extremity following stroke. Unfortunately, neurorehabilitation has few evidence based treatment options for those with proprioceptive deficits. The authors consider potential reasons for this disparity. In doing so, typical assessments and proprioceptive intervention studies are discussed. Relevant evidence from the field of neuroscience is examined. Such evidence may be used to guide the development of targeted interventions for upper extremity proprioceptive deficits after stroke. As researchers become more aware of the impact of proprioceptive deficits on upper extremity motor performance after stroke, it is imperative to find successful rehabilitation interventions to target these deficits and ultimately improve daily function.
