and wrist extension and the lower limb was globally affected. Concurrently, Jones et aP found in a population of eight hemiplegic patients an impairment of handgrip and of shoulder motor function of the healthy side.
This deficit recoveredwithin the first month. They also recorded an impairment of visuomotor coordination of the healthy side.
Hence at least three different studies, using different protocols and populations, found an impairment in motor performance of the supposed healthy side after stroke. This is in agreement with our findings.
Nevertheless, we underline that the deficit we showed affected both distal and proximal parts of each limb.
