Abstract:Assessment and rehabilitation of the upper limb after a stroke have primarily focused on the contralesional arm. However, increasing evidence highlights functional sensorimotor alterations also in the ipsilesional arm. This study aims to evaluate the position sense of both arms after a stroke using a passive position-matching task. We hypothesized that the ipsilesional arm would have higher accuracy and precision than the contralesional arm, but lower than the dominant arm in unimpaired participants. Additiona… Show more
