Newswise — A research team from NYU presented a study at AAP 2015 that aims to better understand motor planning deficits post-stroke and to demonstrate the utility of analyzing the kinematics of their reaches under various practice strategies.
"The objective of the present study was to better understand motor planning deficits post-stroke and to demonstrate the utility of analyzing the kinematics of their reaches under various practice strategies. We propose that it may prove useful to examine objective kinematics of reaching post-stroke for code-specific deficits to motor planning so that practice strategies may be tailored for improved rehabilitation outcomes," says lead author JR Rizzo, MD.
# # #The Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP) is the only academic association dedicated to the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) in the world. AAP is an organization of leading physicians, researchers, in-training physiatrists, and others involved or interested in leadership, mentorship, and discovery in PM&R. AAP is based in Baltimore, MD.

The 2015 AAP Annual Meeting will take place in San Antonio, March 10-14, 2015. The AAP Annual Meeting brings together physiatrists and academicians, in-training physiatrists, researchers, and academic PM&R professionals to share the latest information, innovative techniques, best practices, and new technologies. AAP 2015 covers a broad spectrum of cutting edge topics in academic physiatry. The meeting is packed with educational activities including educational sessions, cutting-edge keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, and scientific paper presentations along with over 400 poster board presentations showcasing the finest scientific innovations and research.
