Volition and cognition.  Movement is more than just in the muscles.  You
have to be able to process the information coming to your brain and come up
with an appropriate response.  That's the simple answer anyways.

Meir,

Thanks!  I wonder if there's a time period after a stroke when it becomes
less effective.  Also, if it'd be effective for other types of brain
injury...I can't see why the type of injury should be critical.
Time since injury could be, because of lost plasticity of our brains.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
