A critical component to rehabilitation is the degree to which we challenge patients to facilitate learning without providing excessive competition for cognitive resources. The purpose of this study was to examine brain activation and motor performance during changes in cognitive load in a continuous motor task in subjects with stroke (n = 7) and healthy subjects (n = 17).
