| Abstract: | Background In many stroke patients arm function is limited, which can be related to an abnormal coupling between shoulder and elbow joints.
The extent to which this can be translated to activities of daily life (ADL), in terms of muscle activation during ADL-like
movements, is rather unknown. Therefore, the present study examined the occurrence of abnormal coupling on functional, ADL-like
reaching movements of chronic stroke patients by comparison with healthy persons. |
