Comparison of “Less Affected Limb” Reaching Kinematics in Individuals with Chronic Stroke and Healthy Age-Matched Controls

The purpose of this study was to compare kinematics of the limbs during reaching tasks with trunk restraint in persons with chronic stroke to a control group without impairment. Thirty individuals participated (chronic arm impairment from stroke, n = 15, healthy adults, n = 15). Three-dimensional kinematic analysis of the upper extremities was collected during reaching with trunk restraint (self-selected and fast velocities, ipsilateral and...
