2. Fig 1
Grip and load forces applied to pinch grip, lift, and hold object. Grip force applied perpendicularly to surface and load force tangential to surface are shown. Interchangeable surfaces and concealing screen also shown.

3. Fig 2
PGLH trial. (A) Grip and load force are shown relative to (B) velocity and vertical position for 1 PGLH trial performed by a matched control. Dashed vertical lines delineate the PGLH phases and the phases are labeled beneath. A horizontal line indicates the slip force. The safety margin is the difference between grip force and slip force as indicated by an arrow. Details of PGLH variables for each phase are outlined in table 2.

PGLH examples. (A) Typical performance of a matched control; (B) mildly impaired stroke performance; and (C) severely impaired stroke performance. (Two examples are shown for each person. Lifting conditions are Rubber 400 and Teflon 400.) (D) Unsuccessful lifting attempts by 2 stroke participants.

5. Fig 4
Stroke (ipsilesional and contralesional hands) and matched-control scores for selected PGLH variables: (A) preload time; (B) load time; (C) preload grip force maximum; (D) transition grip force maximum; (E) slip force; and (F) safety margin. The object condition is Rubber 400.

6. Fig 5
Influence of object condition on PGLH variables for matched controls (left side) and stroke contralesional (right side) for (A) preload time; (B) maximum grip force in transition phase; and (C) safety margin.

7. Fig 6
Mean safety margins for stroke and matched controls recorded for the differing object weight and grip surface. The object condition is arranged in order from that requiring least to most grip force to lift.

8. Fig 7
Relationship between standardized deficit scores for preload time and grip force for the contralesional hand of (A) stroke and (B) matched controls. Both scatterplots have similar axes to aid group comparison. For both variables, a dashed line shows the criterion of abnormality indicated by standard deficit score of 0 SDU. An SDU corresponds to 1 SD of matched-control performance. The lower left quadrant indicates normative performance for both variables as defined by matched-control data.
