Bilateral and Unilateral Arm Training Improve Motor Function Through Differing Neuroplastic Mechanisms: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Background and PurposeThis randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing (BATRAC) versus dose-matched therapeutic exercises (DMTEs) on upper-extremity (UE) function in stroke survivors and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine effects on cortical reorganization.
