Study acronym | Motor skill acquisition |
Study objectives | In healthy subjects, feedback inducing an external focus of attention (about movement effects) produces more effective movements compared with feedback that induces an internal focus of attention (about body movements). It is unclear whether this extends to people with stroke. Objective: To examine whether feedback inducing an internal or external focus was more effective for retraining the hemiplegic arm. |
Ethics approval(s) | MREC approved (ref: 05/Q2709/126) |

Intervention | Forty-two people with stroke performed three reaching tasks in a counterbalanced, within-subject design. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Faster movements |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Increased percentage time to peak deceleration 2. Increased percentage time to peak velocity |
