Neurophysiological underpinnings of an intensive protocol for upper limb motor recovery in subacute and chronic stroke patients

CONCLUSIONS: The intensive two-week rehabilitation protocol was effective in both chronic and sub-acute patients, and improvements in the two groups shared similar dynamics. However, stronger cortical and behavioral changes were observed in sub-acute patients suggesting different reorganizational patterns.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This study paves the way to personalized approaches to UL motor rehabilitation after stroke, as highlighted by different neurophysiological modifications following recovery in subacute and chronic stroke patients.PMID:37987741 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.07922-4
