Comparative Effects of Sensorimotor Interventions on Hand Performance With Stroke

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This randomized controlled trial investigated the comparative effects of sensory, motor, and combined sensorimotor interventions on hand motor function and behavioral performance in patients with stroke. The study focused on upper-extremity impairments, particularly deficits in hand strength, dexterity, and reaction time, which are common following stroke and substantially limit functional independence. Sensorimotor integration plays a critical role in motor recovery, as effective hand function depends on the interaction between sensory feedback and motor control mechanisms. Participants with stroke were randomly assigned to sensory, motor, or combined sensorimotor intervention groups. The interventions were designed to target tactile perception, motor coordination, and integrated sensorimotor processing through attended active and passive stimulation approaches. Outcome measures included hand grip strength, manual dexterity, and reaction time, which were evaluated before and after the intervention period. The findings demonstrated that sensorimotor-based rehabilitation approaches positively influenced upper-extremity motor performance and behavioral responses in stroke patients. In particular, combined sensorimotor interventions appeared to provide more comprehensive improvements by simultaneously enhancing sensory processing and motor execution. These results support the importance of integrating sensory-focused strategies into conventional motor rehabilitation programs to optimize neuroplasticity and functional recovery after stroke. The study contributes to the growing evidence supporting multidimensional rehabilitation approaches for improving hand function and sensorimotor performance in individuals with stroke.
