Rhythmic and discrete movements are two fundamental classes of upper-limb movements recruiting, at least partially, distinct neural circuitries. Current post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation focuses on intensive task-oriented movement leaving aside rhythmic arm movement. The present study aims at determining whether rhythmic arm training should be part of post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation.
