Summary: This study compared the anticipatory planning, execution, and coordination of force between stroke patients and neurotypical controls in a naturalistic bimanual common-goal task. The results showed that stroke patients, especially those with right hemisphere damage, have impairments in anticipatory planning and interlimb coordination of symmetric cooperative bimanual tasks. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the effects of stroke on everyday functions.

Summary: Executing voluntary motor actions in the upper extremities after a stroke is challenging, but stroke protocols centered on bimanual movement coordination show promising results in overcoming dysfunctional movements. Chronic stroke rehabilitation approaches involving voluntary interlimb coordination principles seem effective in improving upper extremity function.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical features of bimanual movement impairment in a patient following surgery for a frontal lobe tumor. The results showed that resection of the frontal lobe can cause transient impairment of in-phase bimanual movement, and auditory cueing can improve bimanual movement performance.

Summary: This study aimed to determine similarities and differences in key predictors of recovery of bimanual hand use and unimanual motor impairment after stroke. The findings suggest that recovery of bimanual activity depends on the extent of corticospinal tract injury and initial sensory and cognitive impairments, with the FMA-SAFE score capturing most of the variance explained by these mechanisms. FMA-SAFE score, as a straightforward clinical measure, strongly predicts bimanual recovery.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of stable trunk and affected upper limb on wrist and hand motor coordination, grip strength and muscle tension in post-stroke patients. Results showed passive stabilization of trunk and upper extremity significantly improved motor coordination in fingers and wrist, with increased tone in supraspinatus muscle.

Summary: This study examined the generalizability of findings in upper-limb motor trials conducted early post-stroke. The results showed that key information to support the generalizability of trial findings was insufficiently reported, and broadening eligibility criteria alone may not be enough to improve trial inclusivity due to internal validity constraints.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of robotic rehabilitation (RR) and conventional rehabilitation (CR) added to intensive trunk rehabilitation (ITR) on upper-limb motor function. The results showed that RR and CR produced similar improvements in upper-limb motor function, suggesting that RR can be used as an alternative to conventional methods under appropriate clinical conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether patients with chronic stroke could relearn to coordinate their upper limbs and to compare their motor skill learning with healthy individuals. The findings showed that the patients demonstrated improvements in motor skill learning, although they were less efficient compared to the healthy individuals. The study suggests that motor skill learning may be beneficial for neurorehabilitation after stroke.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the construct validity of the new clinical upper-limb Interlimb Coordination test (ILC2) in individuals with chronic stroke. Results showed that participants with stroke moved their upper limbs slower than controls in all conditions, but Interlimb Coordination test scores were not related to clinical scores.

Summary: Current clinical practice has not effectively utilized EEG measurements in predicting post-stroke recovery in stroke patients. However, research suggests that certain EEG measures show promise in predicting upper limb motor outcome after stroke. This literature review examined various quantitative and qualitative EEG-based measures in relation to stroke timeframe and experimental tasks, and identified event-related measures as the most promising for prediction.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) on stroke patients. It will compare the effect of 50 hours of HABIT-ILE with usual motor activity and regular rehabilitation. The primary outcome measure will be the adults-assisting-hand-assessment stroke, and the study will involve 48 adults with chronic stroke.

Summary: This study observed the long-term effect of motor skill learning on amputees who developed unique muscle activation patterns to control their prostheses. The results showed that with proper feedback training, amputees could learn distinct muscle activation patterns and improve myoelectric prosthetic control performance. The effect of motor skill learning has a lasting impact on sEMG pattern classification accuracy.

Summary: Inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment started within 3 weeks after stroke onset promotes upper limb motor recovery, reduces disability and dependence, and leads to earlier discharge from the rehabilitation center.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of altered visual gain levels on bilateral motor synergies and force control. The results showed that higher visual gain conditions increased bilateral motor synergies and target force accuracy. Additionally, a reduction in bad variance from the lowest visual gain condition to higher visual gain conditions was related to increased force accuracy.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the combined effects of robotic training and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on motor recovery post-stroke. The findings suggest that while there were no significant improvements in the upper extremities, the combined protocols of robotic-assisted movements and tDCS showed significant improvements in lower limb functions post-stroke.

Summary: The study found that older adults have more impairments in bimanual coordination movements compared to younger adults, especially in asymmetrical bimanual movement tasks. Therefore, rehabilitation programs for older adults should focus on functional recovery of interlimb motor control and coordination.

Summary: Previous studies on error processing have primarily focused on the posterior medial frontal cortex, but the role of other brain regions has been underestimated. This study used activation likelihood estimation meta-analyses to explore brain activity related to committing errors and responding successfully in interference tasks. It was found that the salience network and the temporoparietal junction were commonly involved in both correct and incorrect responses, indicating their general involvement in coping with situations that require increased cognitive control. Error-specific convergence was observed in the dorsal posterior cingulate cortex, posterior thalamus, and left superior frontal gyrus, while successful responding showed stronger convergence in the dorsal attention network and lateral prefrontal regions. Underrecruitment of these regions in error trials may reflect failures in activating the appropriate stimulus-response contingencies necessary for successful response execution.
