Brain Function Changes Induced by Intermittent Sequential Pneumatic Compression in Patients with Stroke as Assessed by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

CONCLUSIONS: The significantly increased WA values in the frequency intervals III, IV, and V in the MC of patients with ischemic stroke might be related to cortical activity in the MC in addition to increased cerebral perfusion. The decreased LI values in the prefrontal cortex and MC indicated that the ISPC may have had a positive effect on the functional rehabilitation of these regions.IMPACT: This study provides a method for assessing the effects of ISPC on cerebral oscillations, and the results benefit the optimization of ISPC parameters in personalized treatment for the functional recovery of patients with stroke.PMID:34061206 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzab140
