Results are expressed as effect size (ES) and ± 95% confidence interval (CI). Estimate: estimates of effects within each group, Lower: lower limit for the mean, Upper: upper limit for the mean, biSAT: Bimanual Speed/Accuracy Trade-off in arbitrary units (a.u.), biCO: Bimanual Coordination Factor (a.u.), biFOP: bimanual forces exerted against the virtual walls (in Newtons), HIs: healthy individuals, 1: Group 1 (i.e., patients with FMA-UE = 66), 2: Group 2 (i.e., patients with FMA-UE < 66), Baseline: first CIRCUIT training block on the first day, Overall: overall progression over the three days consecutives, Generalization: task on a new CIRCUIT (NC) layout
