Relevance – After stroke, upper-limb movement patterns during arm reaching change to accommodate altered constraints, but these compensatory strategies do not map 1-to-1 with posttraining outcomes.

Other measures included: – Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FM). – Modified Wolf Motor Function Test (WT). – University of Maryland Arm Questionnaire for Stroke (UMAQS).

Increased shoulder relative to elbow moment contribution was associated with: – Less impairment. – Greater gains of speed in functional tasks.
