This study shows that a structured rehabilitation program using movement constraints improved motor control and reduced spasticity in a patient with severe upper limb hemiparesis after stroke. The approach facilitated functional reaching and coordinated joint movement recovery.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Clinical Case Study
Background:
- Severe upper limb hemiparesis post-stroke impairs motor function, leading to limited reaching.
- Conventional training may not address motor control deficits related to joint degrees of freedom (DoF).
- This case report explores a novel rehabilitation strategy for post-stroke hemiparesis.
