Brief Summary: This study investigated how torso and shoulder positioning can help restore coordinated hand movements in stroke patients
Detailed Description: Stroke patients and healthy subjects were randomly divided into two different groups and tested in different positions In study group 1 the exercise test consisted of two motor tasks carried out in two different starting positions sitting and supine During the first examination the subject sat on the therapeutic table without back support feet resting on the floor active stabilization of the trunk and shoulder The upper limb was examined in adduction with the elbow bent in the intermediate position between pronation and supination of the forearm In the supine position the upper limb was held beside the subjects body adduction in the humeral joint elbow flexion in the intermediate position passive stabilization of the trunk and shoulder

In study group 2 the exercise test again consisted of two motor tasks carried out in two different starting positions supine with the upper extremity positioned perpendicularly to the trunk passive stabilization of the trunk active stabilization of the shoulder and supine with the upper limb held beside the subjects body adduction in the humeral joint elbow flexion in the intermediate position passive stabilization of the trunk and shoulder

A manual electronic dynamometer EH 101 was used for grip strength measurement error of measurement 05 kglb A Hand Tutor device composed of a safe and comfortable glove equipped with position and motion sensors and the Medi TutorTM software was used to measure the range of passive and active movement error of measurement 5 - 10 mm as well as the speedfrequency of movement error of measurement 05 cyclesec

First the range of passive movement in the radial-carpal joint flexion and extension and fingers global flexion and extension was measured in each position using the Hand Tutor Device Then the subject made active movements in the same order Finally the subject was asked to make moves as quickly and in as full a range as possible The measurement of grip strength with a dynamometer was performed in each position after the range of motion and speedfrequency tests
