Unilateral wrist extension training after stroke improves strength and neural plasticity in both arms.

This study shows that high-intensity training with the neurologically less affected "non-paretic" arm can improve strength bilaterally and alter both spinal and cortical plasticity. The extent to which this plasticity can be enhanced or functionally exploited remains to be examined. PMID: 29730752 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
