MCP extensors respond faster than flexors in individuals with severe-to-moderate stroke-caused impairment: Evidence of uncoupled neural pathways
Damage in the corticospinal system following stroke produces imbalance between flexors and extensors in the upper extremity, eventually leading to flexion-favored postures. The substitution of alternative tracts for the damaged corticospinal tract is known to excessively activate flexors of the fing...
