Objective: Global synkineses are defined as nonpurposive associated movements on the involved side of hemiparetic subjects that are triggered during a voluntary movement. The purpose of this study was to characterize the intensity and pattern of upper limb global synkineses in hemiparetic subjects with a static biarticular dynamometer and electromyography during maximal progressive hand grip on the unaffected side.Design: Survey, convenience sample,Settings: University secondary care rehabilitation center,Data Set: Global synkineses tie, torques and electromyographic activities) in patients with severe (n = 8) and moderate (n = 7) deficits in motor performance, as evaluated by the Fugl-Meyer assessment, were compared with those obtained in a group of healthy subjects (n = Ii). Clinically the subjects from the severe deficit group were more spastic and snowed less strength at the elbow than the subjects from the moderate deficit group.Results: Results of analyses of variance showed significant increases of shoulder torque in flexion and internal rotation, and elbow torque in flexion, with increasing force exertion during contralateral hand grip in subjects with severe deficits (p
