Fine motor skills predict performance in the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test after stroke

In our daily life, we are highly dependent on the functionality of our hands. Fine motor skills are essential for holding, grasping and manipulating objects. They require an interplay between multiple sensorimotor systems. Visual, haptic, auditory and sensory information has to be integrated with sensorimotor predictions based on mechanical properties of objects being manipulated, such as weight and surface. Additionally, reactive adaptions to changing loads (Nowak et al., 2013) also play an important role.
