Early Predictors of Post-stroke Motor Recovery
… worldwide. Despite robust spontaneous biological recovery mechanisms and provision of intensive rehabilitation therapies, most stroke survivors experience persistent loss of upper extremity function which is directly related to reduced independence in activities of daily living and diminished …

A compositional framework for quantifying neurophysiological motor recovery after stroke
… understand the neurophysiology of upper limb recovery after stroke by introducing a novel compositional analysis framework - the threshold matrix. The threshold matrix explores peri-threshold activation of the corticomotor pathway from transcranial magnetic stimulation-derived motor evoked …

Evaluating Longitudinal Motor Recovery in Non-Human Primates after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
… of disability, often resulting in long-term motor impairment that affect quality of life. Non-human primates (NHP) closely resemble human neuroanatomy and physiology, making them valuable for translational stroke research. Neurobehavioral assessment of NHPs following stroke is critical for …

Motor and Neurophysiological Effects of Ischemic Conditioning (IC) and Tele-Based IC in Chronic Stroke
… the influence of ischemic conditioning (IC) on motor and neurophysiological outcomes in individuals with chronic stroke. Using neurophysiological measures to evaluate corticomotor excitability and transcallosal inhibition (TCI), these studies tested whether IC and tele-based ischemic …

Electrical stimulation and neuromuscular fatigue in healthy and chronic post-stroke populations
… (NMES) has been shown to be effective for recovery of motor function following injury or pathology, however, NMES can impart rapid fatigue and the specific parameters of stimulation that maximize force output and delay the onset of fatigue remain unclear. Frequency, intensity, and pulse …

The Experience of Adults with Chronic Stroke who have Participated in Occupation-Based or Modified Constraint Induced Interventions as a Part of a Research Study
… of specific chronic stroke interventions for motor recovery. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the experiences of adults with chronic stroke who have participated in occupation-based (OBP) or modified constraint-induced (MCIT) interventions as a part of a research …

Robotic technology to aid and assess recovery and learning in stroke patients
… of therapy often assume the processes underlying motor recovery and motor learning are similar because both exhibit activity- dependent neural plasticity. However, the impact of other factors unique to recovery such as re-acquisition of muscle strength and resolution of abnormal muscle tone …

Voxel-Based Lesion Symptom Mapping as a Predictor of Motor Impairment after Stroke
… analysis was utilized to predict degree of motor impairment based on lesion location. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used to collect T1 weighted structural images of lesions in 11 participants who suffered primarily left hemisphere damage due to stroke. Assessments from the Lower …

Design, Characterization, and Validation of the OpenWrist Exoskeleton
… and high intensity rehabilitation needed for motor recovery after neurological injury. Targeted and coordinated hand and wrist therapy, often overlooked in rehabilitation robotics, is required to regain the ability to perform activities of daily living. To this end, a new coupled hand-wrist …

CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE: The importance of neuronal subtype, cell source and connectivity for functional recovery
… is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor deficits such as slowness in movement, difficulty in initiating movement and tremor at rest. The cause of these motor symptoms is the selective loss of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra (SN). These …

Expert system-based post-stroke robotic rehabilitation for hemiparetic arm
… It is widely accepted that most of the motor recovery occurs within the first one year from the onset of stroke and tends to plateau soon after. However, in recent years, clinical studies have shown that chronic stroke patients can have motor recovery even after four to ten years. Hence, …

Kineziterapijos ir ciklinės treniruotės poveikis asmenų savarankiškumui ir mobilumui ankstyvuoju reabilitacijos periodu po galvos smegenų insulto /
… methods searching how quicken balance and gait recovery and reduce rehabilitation period for patients after stroke still remains. We used combination of physical therapy program based on principles of Bobath and training with bicycle ergometer for patients in early period following stroke. This …

Cerebral Organoids as 3-Dimensional Grafts in Traumatic Brain Injury
… an immune-compromised mice line in the left motor cortex and acutely transplanted cortical organoids. For the examination of the neuronal subtype, we produced organoids enriched for glutamatergic, parvalbumin, and somatostatin neurons. We demonstrate that in transplantation of organoids …

Effects of electrical stimulation and testosterone on regeneration-associated gene expression and functional recovery in a rat model of sciatic nerve crush injury
… with robust regenerative capacity, functional recovery is often suboptimal following peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Research to date indicates that the greatest success in achieving full functional recovery will require the use of a combinatorial approach that can simultaneously target …

Investigating the Influence of Upper Limb Movements on Lower Limb Neuroplasticity in Humans
… examined whether UL activity modulates LL neuromotor function through interlimb neural coupling. In healthy adults, a novel UL movement paradigm was found to alter spinal excitability, suggesting shared pathways for coordinated motor control. While no uniform group-level effects were observed, …

Occupational Therapy Treatments and Upper Extremity Motor and Self-Care Outcomes of Patients Post-CVA
… as rehabilitation professionals, provide sensorimotor and basic activities of daily living assessment and intervention to promote recovery of function post-stroke. Upper extremity neuromuscular electrical stimulation is one strategy that may be used to promote motor recovery.</p> <p>This study's …

Sensorimotor Recovery, Functional and Structural Brain Plasticity, and the Development of Chronic Pain Following Upper Limb Peripheral Nerve Transection and Microsurgical Repair
… (PNIr) most patients retain significant sensorimotor impairments, a proportion of which also develop chronic neuropathic pain. Individual psychological factors may contribute to the development, intensity and duration of chronic pain. Furthermore, a large body of evidence has indentified …

Extended Treatment Window Exists for Improving Sensorimotor Recovery Using Anti-Nogo a Immunotherapy in Adult Rats with Chronic Stroke Deficits
… of this novel treatment results in sensorimotor recovery in adult and aged rats. This therapy has been shown to be efficacious when applied immediately, 24 hours, and 1 week post-stroke in rats with mild to moderate sensorimotor deficits. In addition, recent results suggest that …

UNRAVELING THE EFFECTS OF NEUROREHABILITATION IN PERSONS WITH NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS: RECOVERY VERSUS COMPENSATION
This thesis investigates the mechanisms behind motor improvements in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), focusing on the concepts of recovery and compensation as outlined in Levin’s theoretical framework. This framework identifies three levels of motor recovery and compensation: functional, …
