Funded Activity Summary

The hand allows remarkable feats of dexterity. But, paralysis of the hand severely limits daily activities and is common after stroke. We will determine key mechanisms that control the hand at the level of the brain and spinal cord. We will assess some limits that develop in the muscle itself. Stroke patients will be tested so that we can better understand the brain�s control of the hand and use this to enhance recovery of hand performance in those with impaired function.
