Compensatory Versus Noncompensatory Shoulder Movements Used for Reaching in Stroke

Conclusions. The upper-limb flexor synergy was used adaptively for reaching accuracy by patients with mild, but not moderate/severe stroke. The flexor synergy, as parameterized by the amount of arm-plane motion, can be used by clinicians to identify levels of motor recovery in patients with stroke.
