Fast Arm Motor Skill Training in Chronic Stroke Survivors
Fast Training Promotes Recovery of Arm Movements Post-stroke Via Cerebellar-mediated Anticipatory Feedforward Control
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Every year, almost 800,000 people experience a stroke in the United States, which lead to upper-limb impairments, making recovery of motor function a priority in stroke rehabilitation. 1) The primary objective of this study is to determine whether fast arm movement training on a tracking task ("Speed-training"), in chronic stroke survivors with mild to moderate paresis, will generalize to improve arm function better than dose-equivalent accuracy training on the same task. 2) study the effect of intensive arm training on the recovery of anticipatory feedforward control. 3) Determine the involvement of cerebellar-cortical circuits in the recovery of arm movements due to speed training.
