Abstract
Why only the human hand is able to write, to draw and to play an instrument despite being anatomically equal to a monkey’s hand?
Why is so difficult, but also a real challenge for the rehabilitator , improve hand functioning after a lesion? In this paper we aim to
describe proprioceptive and tactile upper limb information strategies given to patients in different conditions in order to improve
upper limber function.
