Bilateral vs Unilateral Arm Training for Patients With Stroke

We read with great interest the study by Renner et al,1 which compared arm cycle –based unilateral and bilateral arm training in patients with stroke who have severe upper limb paresis. The study concluded that both of the interventions improved upper limb function after training, and bilateral arm training showed significant functional improvement in patients with pure subcor tical stroke. To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial that investigates the relationship between lesion location and the efficacy of arm training, and we appreciate the author's contribution.
