Bilateral Priming Before Wii-based Movement Therapy Enhances Upper Limb Rehabilitation and Its Retention After Stroke: A Case-Controlled Study

Conclusions. Bilateral priming before Wii-based Movement Therapy led to a greater magnitude and retention of improvement compared to control, especially measured with the FMA. These data suggest that bilateral priming can enhance the efficacy of Wii-based Movement Therapy, particularly for patients with low motor function after a stroke.
