Your therapist will need to incorporate this into your 100% recovery protocols.

Abstract: Study assessed the role of afference-based
processes, including phase entrainment and error correction based on
visual and somatosensory feedback, in the impairment of bimanual
coordination after stroke. Ten people with unilateral chronic stroke and
8 age-matched controls participated in a kinesthetic tracking protocol,
in which the hemiparetic upper limb was passively driven by the
machine. The task consisted of matching the trajectory of the driven
limb as accurately as possible with the freely moving limb in 2
conditions: eyes closed and eyes open. The mean and standard deviation
of continuous relative phase (CRP) between the 2 oscillating limbs, the
mean absolute difference between positions (ADP) between the positions
of the 2 limbs, and the jerk of the matching limb movement were
analyzed. Results showed that coordination instability (CRP standard
deviation) and mean ADP were significantly higher for patients with eyes
closed, compared with patients with eyes open, controls with eyes
closed, and controls with eyes open. Moreover, the jerk was higher for
the nonparetic limb of patients than for the control group. Thus, the
nonparetic limb did not produce optimally smooth movements even as the
motor-driven paretic limb did. The findings suggest that in addition to
deficits caused by interhemispheric competition and motor execution of
the paretic limb, somatosensory feedback is a limiting factor in
bimanual coordination after stroke. The findings have clinical
implications pertaining to the design and individualization of efficient
bimanual movement therapy.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,116 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
