| Joint torque coupling may be a result of post-lesional reorganization and a potential target for therapeutic intervention. This study demonstrated the mutability of joint torque coupling. The isometric nature of the experimental protocol eliminated the influence of spasticity and directly targeted the abnormal torque coupling impairment. The results suggested that individuals with severe stroke may be amenable to future therapeutic interventions and set the stage for future work targeting the same impairment through more functionally relevant dynamic protocols.
