          Abstract

          Background

          Unilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of everyday functions, are understudied. Particularly, how naturalistic bimanual actions that require the two hands to cooperatively interact with each other while manipulating a single common object are planned, executed, and coordinated after stroke is not known. In the present study, we compared the anticipatory planning, execution, and coordination of force between individuals with left and right hemisphere stroke and neurotypical controls in a naturalistic bimanual common-goal task, lifting a box.

          Method

          Thirty-three individuals with chronic stroke (15 LCVA, 18 RCVA) and 8 neurotypical age-matched controls used both hands to lift a box fitted with force transducers under unweighted and weighted conditions. Primary dependent variables included measures of anticipation (peak grip and load force rate), execution (peak grip force, load force), and measures of within-hand (grip-load force coordination) and between-hand coordination (force rate cross-correlations). Primary analyses were performed using linear mixed effects modeling. Exploratory backward stepwise regression examined predictors of individual variability within participants with stroke.

          Results

          Participants with stroke, particularly the RCVA group, showed impaired scaling of grip and load force rates with the addition of weight, indicating deficits in anticipatory control. While there were no group differences in peak grip force, participants with stroke showed significant impairments in peak load force and in grip-load force coordination with specific deficits in the evolution of load force prior to object lift-off. Finally, there were differences in spatial coordination of load force rates for participants with stroke, and especially the RCVA group, as compared to controls. Unimanual motor performance of the paretic arm and hemisphere of lesion (right hemisphere) were the key predictors of impairments in anticipatory planning of grip force and bimanual coordination among participants with stroke.

          Conclusions

          These results suggest that individuals with stroke, particularly those with right hemisphere damage, have impairments in anticipatory planning and interlimb coordination of symmetric cooperative bimanual tasks.

              Adult norms for the Box and Block Test of manual dexterity.

              The Box and Block Test, a test of manual dexterity, has been used by occupational therapists and others to evaluate physically handicapped individuals. Because the test lacked normative data for adults, the results of the test have been interpreted subjectively. The purpose of this study was to develop normative data for adults. Test subjects were 628 Normal adults (310 males and 318 females) from the seven-county Milwaukee area. Data on males and females 20 to 94 years old were divided into 12 age groups. Means, standard deviations, standard error, and low and high scores are reported for each five-year age group. These data will enable clinicians to objectively compare a patient's score to a normal population parameter.
