Abstract

Patients with unilateral cerebral stroke and healthy controls were studied for limb and hemispatial hypometria. Subjects were required to reproduce lateral and medial horizontal displacements of each arm, with their eyes closed. Patients exhibited significant hypometria when moving toward hemispace contralateral to the lesion, and also when moving the limb contralateral to the lesion. Possible mechanisms for the hemispatial-limb hypometria are discussed.
