Post-stroke deficits in the anticipatory control and bimanual coordination during naturalistic cooperative bimanual action.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of everyday functions, are understudied. Particularly, how naturalistic bimanual actions that require the two hands to cooperatively interact with each other while manipulating a single common object are planned, executed, and coordinated after stroke is not known. In the present study, we compared the anticipatory planning, execution, and coordination of force between individuals with left and right hemisphere stroke and neurotypical controls in a naturalistic bimanual common-goal task, lifting a box.

Method

Thirty-three individuals with chronic stroke (15 LCVA, 18 RCVA) and 8 neurotypical age-matched controls used both hands to l
