The chosen clinical situation within the facility is the reported increase in the number of patients treated for stroke conditions. This is a condition that occurs when the blood supply into the brain is interrupted (Concepts). This prevents the brain tissue from getting adequate oxygen and nutrients (Proposition). Patients with stroke are expected in the facility (Concepts), and it affects the well-being of the population since it impairs the motor systems of the individuals diagnosed with it (Proposition). Since it is an acute condition (Concepts), it compromises the cerebral perfusion, vasculature, or cerebrovascular accident that affects patients’ ability to successfully control their arms during complicated motor tasks (Proposition) (Maguire et al., 2018). Following the stroke incidents, patients tend to indicate modifications in their neural control activities such as movement.

Stroke condition is characterized by hemispheric localization (Concepts) that affects motor performance and muscle synergies during activities (Proposition). The applicable theory, in this case, is associated with the process of supporting the movement and the movement objectives encoded in the cortex, and the muscle synergies (concept) help in reducing the redundancy before and after diagnosis with stroke (Proposition). The muscle synergies involve converting the muscle actions from the cortex through the cortical demands. The muscle synergies involve some forms of activated muscles. In stroke conditions, there is a loss in the integrity of the muscle synergies and an indication that damage has occurred to the motor cortical (Concept). These processes interfere with organizations of the motor cortical as a result of the impairment of cerebrovascular (Proposition) (Maguire et al., 2018). The research studies associated with the kinematic synergies have shown a covariation in the motions of diverse joints (Concept), thus providing further reasons for the mechanisms associated with human motor behaviors (Proposition).

Regret refers to the negative emotion that is driven by the individual-focused thoughts of what might have been.
