Abstract: Functions of arm and finger movements in adult hemiplegia have many problems in daily living because of lack of postural control, arm reaching and finger dexterities. The functional improvement of arm and finger movement needs postural control such as sitting and standing balance and movement control (selective movement) of scapular, shoulder, elbow, wrist and fingers. The assessment and treatment of arm and finger movements are described through two case-study.

Key words: stroke, upper extremity, postural control
