Abstract

Changes in paretic UE movement realized through MP combined with RTP (MP + RTP) participation are retained 3 months after the intervention has concluded. This is the first study examining retention of motor changes after MP + RTP participation, and one of only a few studies examining long retention of motor changes after any intervention targeting stroke-induced hemiparesis.
