Figure 1

Fingertip speeds for the more affected (MA) and less affected (LA) arms while during a reaching task. The subject (SR01: age = 57, injury = hemorrhagic stroke affecting the right side, time since stroke = 6 years, Fugl-Meyer upper extremity function = 19/66) was seated with a belt across the chest to restrain trunk movement. An auditory tone cued the subject to reach from a start position on the mid thigh to a target at shoulder height as “fast as possible”. The speed profile of the MA arm is less symmetric and more segmented than the LA arm.
