Conclusions and recommendations
sub-acute spastic hemiparesis, UL joints
Our study showed that short-term personalized impairment-based training of UL reaching led to improved clinical scores along with better movement quality compared to non-personalized training. These results suggest a potential direction based on individualized impairment-based interventions for future studies aimed at maximizing UL recovery in individuals with sub-acute spastic hemiparesis. Benefits could have been more substantial with more intensive training and impairment-based training based on range limitations in other UL joints. However, the benefit of augmented therapy is reportedly small
