Initial severity of somatosensory impairment influences response to upper limb sensory retraining post-stroke

Somatosensory loss occurs often following stroke. A proportional recovery model is proposed for spontaneous motor recovery, with implication for treatment planning. It is currently unknown if initial severity of sensory impairment influences stroke survivors' response to treatment to improve sensation.To examine if initial (pre-treatment) severity of upper limb somatosensory impairment is related to sensation outcomes following...
