Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how movement execution kinematics of the upper extremity correlate with clinical outcomes in chronic stroke patients, both before and after at-home training with technology.
- Twenty stroke patients were assessed at the beginning and again after six weeks of either technology-supported or conventional training, measuring various factors like grip strength and motion during a reach-and-grasp task.
- Results indicated that elbow movement and grip strength had significant relationships with improvements in arm function and activities, highlighting the importance of focusing on reaching and hand function in post-stroke rehabilitation.
