Description
"Problems with reach, grasp, and manipulation have an impact on many activities performed in daily life, such as dressing, eating, and grooming. As such, they are a major focus of intervention for clinicians involved in the rehabilitation of patients with neurologic pathology. Upper extremity dysfunction manifests in different ways, as seen in the following case studies. The first case illustrates loss of function in an adult patient following a stroke, while the second case features a child with underdeveloped prehension."
