Abstract:

External attentional focus strategy (EFs) is wildly used for athletes and healthy people to learn motor skills, and is also useful for motor function rehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders. This paper reviewed the concept, theoretical basis and application of EFs in stroke rehabilitation, which is effective on motor function. However, the timing of intervention remains to be further clarified.
