Mobility Function and Recovery After Stroke: Preliminary Insights From Sympathetic Nervous System Activity.

CONCLUSIONS: SNS activity measured by skin conductance is a feasible approach for quantifying task-related differences in the perceived challenge of walking tasks in people poststroke. Furthermore, reduced SNS activity during walking following a rehabilitation intervention suggests a beneficial reduction in the physiological stress response evoked by complex walking tasks.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (See Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A234).
