Paretic Hand Beta Band Intermuscular Coherence Increases Following non-Paretic Hand Exercise to Task-Failure in Chronic Stroke

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effects of non-paretic hand exercise on corticospinal connectivity and motor function in the paretic hand of chronic stroke patients.
• Participants engaged in non-paretic hand exercise to task-failure.
• Assessment of corticospinal connectivity and manual dexterity of the paretic hand was conducted post-exercise.
• Increased strength of corticospinal connectivity to the paretic hand observed post-exercise.
• Enhanced manual dexterity in the paretic hand was reported, suggesting functional improvement.
