Characteristics of upper-extremity reactions to sudden lateral loss of balance in persons with stroke - Handelzalts S, Chen-Steinberg F, Soroker N, Shani G, Melzer I.
BACKGROUND: Upper-extremity reactions are part of a whole-body response to counterweight the falling center of mass after unexpected balance loss. Impairments in upper-extremity reactions due to unilateral hemiparesis may contribute to stroke survivors pro...
