Upper extremity (UE) functional recovery after stroke requires the integration of motor and sensory systems. We describe the relationship among recovery of somatosensation, motor impairment, and manual dexterity from acute to 3 months poststroke. Sensory retraining emphasized in conjunction with motor interventions after stroke may improve functional UE outcomes.
