Overview

Brief Summary

The upper extremity flexor spasticity was only decreased in the UEDA group. The activation ratio of the anterior deltoid fibre was lowest in the affected arm of the stroke patients, the activation ratio of the middle deltoid fibre was lowest in arms of the healthy adults, and the activation ratio of the posterior deltoid fibre was highest in the affected arm of stroke patients. The changes of the upper extremity flexion synergies differenced significantly only in the UEDA group.
