“…Continuous reaching (CR) incorporates a complex interaction of cyclic and translatory components (Sternad & Dean, 2003) requiring continual interaction between neural processes and the musculoskeletal system (Scott, 2004). Despite the necessity to incorporate CR in daily life, the majority of strokerelated research has focused on discrete reaching paradigms (i.e., a single defined start and end point; Cirstea, Mitnitski, Feldman, & Levin, 2003;Michaelsen, Luta, Roby-Brami, & Levin, 2001;Robertson & Roby-Brami, 2011;Subramanian, Yamanaka, Chilingaryan, & Levin, 2010). The findings of compensatory trunk movement, altered interjoint coordination, and segmented movements (Cirstea & Levin, 2000;Cirstea et al, 2003), among others, have increased the understanding of motor control impairments impacting ballistic and quick movements, yet may not characterize the ability to generate CR.…”
