Inclusion criteria
* the first time hemiparetic stroke; * diagnosis confirmed by a physician on the basis of the findings of neurological examinations and brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography scan); * aged between 20 and 85 years; * Brunnstrom's stage II to V over the proximal and distal part of the upper extremity on the affected side; * no cognitive dysfunction, measured by the Mini-Mental State Exam (≧24; suggested by 36 with respect to age and educational level) * willing/able to participate and having signed an informed consent form.
Exclusion criteria
* unstable vital sign * irreversible contracture over any of the joints of the affected upper extremity * history of surgery, fracture, arthritis, pain, or any other complications that might influence the recovery of upper extremity function like aphasia, apraxia and neglect; * having spasticity, as measured using the Modified Ashworth scale (score \> 2); * poststroke seizure; * heart attack within 3 months poststroke; cortical lesions in any of the five core motor areas of interest, including the bilateral M1, the bilateral PM, and the SMA.
