Assessment of Proprioceptive Acuity in Patients with Stroke with Left Hemiplegia Compared to Healthy Controls
… gives rise to kinesthesia and the sense of joint position. This information is not only crucial for bodily awareness, but it also impacts voluntary motor control, the maintenance of muscle tone and posture. Cortical stroke is known to cause impairment of proprioception, thus diminishing motor …
