Analysis of Motor Learning Principles Applied in Tasks or Motor Skills Trained by Stroke Patients

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the principles applied to promote and evaluate motor learning in tasks or motor skills trained by stroke patients. Methods: Articles were included if they used motor learning principles in tasks or motor skills trained by stroke patients. Results: Twelve studies were included in this review. Quality was good for the included studies. Articles used motor learning principle based on practice (N = 12), repetitive training (N = 9), and feedback (N = 5). Conclusions: There are different motor learning principles to promote and evaluate motor learning in stroke patients. These findings could guide clinicians during training of tasks or motor skills.
