Motor control in stroke

Motor control in stroke: Most recovery from motor impairment after stroke occurs early, and is largely complete by 3-6 months. Data from human studies suggests that this recovery of motor impairment occurs independently of rehabilitation interventions, which often target functional activities that rely on compensatory strategies. Motor impairment can further be dissected into strength and motor control using kinematic tasks that minimize contributions of strength. In a longitudinal study, upper limb motor impairment was tracked over the first year after ischemic stroke.
