An Investigation of the Musculoskeletal Changes in the Hand After Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke and Their Impact on Hand Opening: Using Integrated Experimental and Computer Simulation Methods

Description:

Up to two thirds of individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke suffer life-long residual impairments to their paretic hands, affecting their independence and quality of life. These impairments stem initially from losses of direct corticospinal projections that result in an increased reliance on indirect bulbospinal pathways. This reliance on the indirect...
