Task-oriented training improves skilled arm-hand performance after stroke. Exercises for skill training are however not easy to implement in rehabilitation technology, especially for complex skills that involve object manipulation. In this paper, a skill training method, suitable for technology-supported ...

A study of upper limb exercises in the home setting, involving eight chronic stroke participants, showed improvements in the strength and range of movement in the wrist and fingers after six months of home use. The effect on functional abilities of the upper limb was not reported. During the ...
It is generally believed that after six months, a plateau in functional motor recovery is reached [6,7,8]. However, more evidence is emerging that patients in the chronic phase of stroke are able to improve the upper limb function significantly [7, 8]. Therefore, training has to involve ...
is currently especially limited for stroke patients with higher functional levels, who need more challenge. Also sensor-based solutions, although having a large potential for variability of patient-tailored functional exercises, seem not to have been able to date to actually offer this to patients ...
Participants were instructed to consume one bottle (68 mL) of the experimen- tal product daily in the morning (after breakfast) for 24 weeks and perform resistance exercises for 30 min twice per week according to training manual. Product consumption and resistance training were recorded...
