The research described in this article was supported in large part by the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke Neural Prosthesis Program, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Rehabilitation Research and Development Service. Support was also received from the Food and Drug Administration Orphan Products Division, the Paralyzed Veterans of America Spinal Cord Research Foundation, the Movement Disorder Foundation, and the Shapiro Foundation. 

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability and is the most common neurological disorder of the elderly. A stroke is defined as the acute onset of a neurologic deficit (e.g., paralysis of motor movement in the arm and leg on the same side of the body— hemiplegia) associated with an abrupt alteration in blood supply to a discrete region of... 

These have been used in conjunction with sensory gaps of target or response to study predictive tracking and ability to execute smooth constant velocity movements in the absence of immediate visual cues in normal subjects [Flowers, 1978b] and subjects with cerebellar disorders [Beppu et al., 1987], stroke [Jones et al, 1989], and Parkinson s disease [Cooke et al., 1978 Flowers, 1978a]. 

Human movement is a result of complex and highly coordinated mechanical interaction between bones, muscles, ligaments, and joints using nerve synchronization signals. It has always been a field of interest to understand mobility disorders resulting from obesity, stroke, chronic pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson s disease...
