What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Background: Most patients suffer from post-stroke somatosensory and motor impairments, and 50% to 70% of patients in the chronic stage still have upper extremity impairments that severely limit their functional independence and quality of life. Somatosensory and motor functions are closely related to each other.
