Improving Independent Multi-joint Arm Control After Stroke

Description

The purposes of this study include: 1. - To identify whether features of aberrant intermuscular coordination patterns can be used to predict motor impairment after stroke. 2. - To test whether muscle synergies are malleable to a non-invasive EMG-guided exercise that induces changes in intermuscular coordination of upper extremity muscles after stroke.
