Behavioral and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying motor skill learning in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis.

CONCLUSIONS: When execution deficits are accounted for, patients with stroke demonstrate relatively intact motor skill learning with the paretic arm. Paretic arm learning is accompanied by modulations in corticospinal and transcallosal mechanisms. SIGNIFICANCE: Functional recovery after stroke relies on ability for skill learning and the underlying mechanisms. PMID: 29127826 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
