Effect of Perceptive Exploration Activity on Spoon Manipulation by Paralyzed Upper Extremity with Sensory Disturbance in a Patient with Stroke Hemiparesis: A Single-Subject Research Design
Abstract:Introduction: Functional use of a paralyzed upper extremity in patients with hemiparesis after stroke depends on the specificity of the task. Further, task specificity-dependent upper extremity use is an important factor in the recovery of upper extremity function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a perceptive exploration activity in consideration of the specificity of the task for Japanese male patient in his 70s and monitor its effect on spoon manipulation using the affected arm… Show more
