Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in tracing smoothness from baseline to after postural counseling
Change in the average jerk of the hand trajectory during a tracing task
Within 24 hours
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in center of pressure displacement from baseline to after postural counseling
Within 24 hours
Study Arms (2)
Stroke survivors
Individuals that experienced uni-hemispheric ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
Controls
Healthy controls with no history of stroke
Interventions
A therapist will provide verbal/physical cues to improve the participants posture
Eligibility Criteria
Stroke patients will be recruited from the MUSC Center for Rehabilitation Research in Neurological Conditions database (approved IRB PRO# 15991, PI Kautz) that currently contains contact information for \~120 stroke survivors who have agreed to be contacted for research participation.
You may qualify if:
- experienced uni-hemispheric ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke 3 mo - 7 yrs prior
- ability to grasp and hold a stylus for the duration of the experiments
- passive motion throughout the paretic UE within 20° of normal
- dominant side affected
You may not qualify if:
- lesion in brainstem or cerebellum
- presence of other neuro-disease impairing motor skills
- unable to understand 3-step directions
- pain, orthopedic condition or impaired corrected vision that would alter reaching
- Healthy Controls:
- no history of stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury
- no medical, orthopedic, neurological, or uncorrected visual condition that would limit the ability to participate in upper extremity testing
- none
