Improving Motor Activation Patterns After Stroke with Wii-based Movement Therapy
Stroke is one of the leading causes of acquired motor disability worldwide. With no cure, the only way to recover motor function is through rehabilitation. Recent trials of Wii-based movement therapy have demonstrated improved functional ability that has transferred to greater independence in activities of daily living. This brief but intense 2-week programme can be tailored to the deficits of individual patients to promote motor recovery. More recent studies have investigated changes in electromyography and joint movement during Wii-based movement therapy. Results from a heterogeneous group of stroke patients suggest that improved movement ability and motor control are promoted by functionally relevant changes in patterns of muscle activation and joint movement.
