背景和目的-本研究的主要目的是比较老年脑卒中患者的未受影响的上肢（LTE）与健康老年人的感觉运动性能。方法脑卒中患者组由43例偏瘫/轻瘫受试者谁有脑血管意外至少6个月前。他们大于或等于60岁，中风前是右撇子，视觉在正常范围内，没有表现出重大的认知障碍。一组43名健康受试者的优势，年龄和性别相匹配的用于比较。使用有效、可靠的仪器测量中风受试者和健康受试者同侧未受影响UE的主要性能参数。一些变量可能与未受影响的UE也进行了测量：影响UE运动功能，功能独立性，自中风以来的时间长度，自我感知的健康状况，活动水平，和手anthropometry.Results统计分析显示显着赤字在未受影响的UE的偏瘫/轻瘫受试者与正常受试者相比，关于以下参数：粗手灵巧度、细手灵巧度、运动协调性、整体表现和动觉（P
Background and Purpose The main objective of this study was to compare the sensorimotor performance of the unaffected upper extremity (LTE) of elderly stroke patients with that of healthy elderly people.Methods The group of stroke patients was composed of 43 hemiplegic/paretic subjects who had had a cerebrovascular accident at least 6 months earlier. They were greater than or equal to 60 years old, were right-handed before the stroke, had visual perception within normal limits, and showed no major cognitive impairments. A group of 43 healthy subjects matched for dominance, age, and sex was used for comparison. The main parameters of the performance of the unaffected UE of the stroke subjects and of the same side of the healthy subjects were measured with valid, reliable instruments. Some variables potentially related to the unaffected UE were also measured: affected UE motor function, functional independence, length of time since the stroke, self-perceived health status, activity level, and hand anthropometry.Results Statistical analyses showed significant deficits in the unaffected UE of hemiplegic/paretic subjects compared with normal subjects with regard to the following parameters: gross manual dexterity, fine manual dexterity, motor coordination, global performance, and kinesthesia (P
