Fast Arm Motor Skill Training in Chronic Stroke Survivors
Sponsor: University of Southern California
Summary
Every year, almost 800,000 people experience a stroke in the United States, which lead to upper-limb impairments, making recovery of motor function a priority in stroke rehabilitation. 1) The primary objective of this study is to determine whether fast arm movement training on a tracking task ("Speed-training"), in chronic stroke survivors with mild to moderate paresis, will generalize to improve arm function better than dose-equivalent accuracy training on the same task. 2) study the effect of intensive arm training on the recovery of anticipatory feedforward control. 3) Determine the involvement of cerebellar-cortical circuits in the recovery of arm movements due to speed training.

Interventions
Fast intervention
This intervention is based on recent body of evidence that high-speed movements during training are effective at improving arm movements in individuals with chronic stroke.Participants will be rewarded for movements performed within a short amount of time.
Active Monitoring
This is an observation-only group. The training received in this group will be dose equivalent to the active group.
