Abstract
We reviewed some of our initial insights about the process of upper-limb behavioral recovery
following stroke. Evidence to date indicates that intensity, task specificity, active engagement, and
focusing training on motor coordination are key factors enabling efficacious recovery. On
modeling, experience with over 400 stroke patients has suggested a working model of recovery
similar to implicit motor learning.
