目的：恢复上肢的熟练运动仍然是脑卒中患者康复治疗的关键。然而，传统的治疗方法在中风后运动质量的实质性改善方面表现出有限的能力。最近，节律性听觉刺激（RAS）已成为有效的改善和正常化的肢体运动的神经功能受损的人群。该初步研究检查了卒中幸存者RAS前后达到运动学和功能结局的变化。方法：5名慢性卒中后患者参加了为期2周的RAS训练。运动学达到变量是躯干，肩膀和肘部部分的贡献;运动时间;和达到速度。功能结局包括Wolf运动功能测试、运动活动日志和Fugl-Meyer评估。结果：后RAS评估达到运动学揭示了显着（p
Purpose: Recovery of skilled upper limb movement remains a critical focus of rehabilitation in individuals post stroke. Conventional treatments, however, have demonstrated limited capability to produce substantial improvements in poststroke quality of movement. Recently, rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) has emerged as efficacious in improving and normalizing limb movements in neurologically impaired populations. This pilot study examined changes in pre- to post-RAS reach kinematics and functional outcomes in survivors of stroke. Method: Five individuals in the chronic poststroke phase participated in a 2-week program of RAS training. Kinematic reaching variables were trunk, shoulder, and elbow segment contribution; movement time; and reach velocity. Functional outcomes were the Wolf Motor Function Test, Motor Activity Log, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment. Results: Post-RAS assessment of reaching kinematics revealed a significant (p
