Participants underwent dexterity training of the paretic arm using the Nine-Hole Peg Test, completing 10 trials/day for 7 consecutive days. The alternating bilateral training group additionally performed alternating trials with the non-paretic limb. Performance change, assessed 1 day and 1 week after the 7-day training period, was compared between groups.\nRESULTS: Although the improvement was comparable in both groups at both post-training time-points, a sub-analysis in which those with left hemiparesis and those with right hemiparesis were analyzed separately revealed potential benefits of the alternating bilateral training, specifically for those with left hemiparesis.\nCONCLUSION: Alternating bilateral training may augment training effects and improve upper-limb motor function in patients with left hemiparesis.","tracks":[{"project":"yangbin123xm_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":649,"end":660},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":1302,"end":1313},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":1472,"end":1483},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":1335,"end":1346},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":1617,"end":1628},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":103,"end":121},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"}]},{"project":"chenxin_473849_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":1302,"end":1313},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":1335,"end":1346},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":1472,"end":1483},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":1617,"end":1628},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":649,"end":660},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":103,"end":121},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T9","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"yangbin123xm_800_3","color":"#b8ec93","default":true},{"id":"chenxin_473849_800_3","color":"#ec93d2"}]}]}}
