Making if-then plans counteracts learned non-use in stroke patients: A proof-of-principle study.

CONCLUSION: This observation opens a potential new route to improving stroke rehabilitation. If-then plans may qualify as a viable strategy to overcome the learned non-use of the affected arm. Further research is now required to develop and test therapeutic measures based on this proof-of-principle. PMID: 28984620 [PubMed - in process]
