    Stroke rehabilitation often utilizes motor learning principles, but these may not fully apply due to stroke-related brain damage.

  • 2

    Motor impairments affect 45%-75% of stroke survivors, compromising essential daily activities and impacting quality of life.

  • 3

    Current rehabilitation practices lack standardized tools to assess motor learning, leading to subjective and variable therapy approaches.

  • 4

    Research on motor learning post-stroke has increased, yet small sample sizes and inconsistent methodologies limit clinical applicability.

  • 5

    Understanding motor learning in early recovery stages is crucial for improving rehabilitation outcomes and addressing individual deficits.
