Spatial-Motor Flexibility (SMF) and Post-Stroke Cognitive Recovery (P6.014)

Conclusions:The ability to direct movement flexibly in the side of body-centered space near impaired limbs may be needed for optimal functional stroke recovery. The clicker test provides an easy way to assess this ability and its performance may also reflect functioning of executive-action systems. Further studies examining whether SMF deficits predict cognitive recovery in stroke survivors more generally are needed.Disclosure: Dr. Barrett has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Foundation as an employee.
