Current practice of outpatient rehabilitation services in patients with mobility-impaired paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury: a qualitative interview study in Germany
CONCLUSION: Areas of improvement identified focused on: setting rehabilitation goals towards participation, training therapists on evidence-based treatments and shared decision-making, updating the outpatient service catalogue, and implementing coordination actions. Implementation of these recommendations should be evaluated.PMID:37732606 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2259301

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 5827: Development of a Control Strategy in an Isokinetic Device for Physical Rehabilitation
lo Robotic-assisted rehabilitation is currently being applied to improve the effectiveness of human gait rehabilitation and recover the mobility and strength after a stroke or spinal cord injury; a robotic assistant can allow the active participation of the patient and the supervision of the collected data and decrease the labor required from therapists during the patient’s training exercises. The goal of gait rehabilitation with robotic-based assistance is to restore motor function by using diverse control strategies, taking account of the physical interaction with the lower limbs of the patient. Over th...

Effects of functional electrical stimulation cycling combined with arm cranking exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in people with central nervous system disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid FES cycling produced higher VO2peak compared to ACE or FES cycling during acute bouts of exercise. Hybrid FES cycling can improve cardiorespiratory fitness in people with a SCI. Additionally, there is emerging evidence that hybrid FES cycling might increase aerobic fitness in people with mobility disability related to CNS disorders.PMID:37098358 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.03.026

Changes in corticospinal and spinal reflex excitability through functional electrical stimulation with and without observation and imagination of walking
Functional electrical stimulation (FES), a method for inducing muscle contraction, has been successfully used in gait rehabilitation for patients with deficits after neurological disorders and several clinical studies have found that it can improve gait function after stroke and spinal cord injury. However, FES gait training is not suitable for patients with walking difficulty, such as those with severe motor paralysis of the lower limbs. We have previously shown that action observation combined with motor imagery (AO + MI) of walking induces walking-related cortical activity. Therefore, we combined FES, which alternately ...

The effects of robot-assisted gait training combined with non-invasive brain stimulation on lower limb function in patients with stroke and spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated that RAGT therapy in combination with NIBS was effective in patients with stroke and SCI. However, a greater improvement in lower limb function and activities were not observed using RAGT with tDCS compared to sham stimulation.

Scientists develop blueprint for turning stem cells into sensory interneurons
Key takeaways:Just like the real thing.The stem cell –derived interneurons, which play a role in sensations like touch and pain, are indistinguishable from their real-life counterparts in the body.Tomorrow ’s therapies. In addition to potential treatments for injury-related sensation loss, the discovery could lead to new methods for screening drugs for chronic pain.Moving forward. While stem cells from mice were used in the research, scientists are now working to replicate the findings with human cells.Researchers at the  Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have develop...

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Efficacy of Mindfulness Training in People with Upper Motor Neuron Disorders: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Based on current data, MBIs are feasible and offer a promising approach to address the biopsychosocial needs of individuals with UMNDs. MBIs are associated with a high acceptance rate among participants with notable improvements in depression, anxiety, fatigue, and quality of life post-intervention. Future studies are needed to evaluate alternate models of delivery of MBIs and the dose-response relationship.PMID:35760105 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.05.020

A Narrative Review of Alternate Gait Training Using Knee-ankle-foot Orthosis in Stroke Patients with Severe Hemiparesis
Phys Ther Res. 2021 Dec 6;24(3):195-203. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0015. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTImpairments resulting from stroke lead to persistent difficulties with walking. Subsequently, an improved walking ability is one of the highest priorities for people living with stroke. The degree to which gait can be restored after a stroke is related to both the initial impairment in walking ability and the severity of paresis of the lower extremities. However, there are some patients with severe motor paralysis and a markedly disrupted corticospinal tract who regain their gait function. Recently, several case reports have described...

Rehabilitative training paired with peripheral stimulation promotes motor recovery after ischemic cerebral stroke
In this study, we hypothesized that a combination of proprioceptive stimulation and rehabilitative training will promote neuroplasticity and functional recovery post injury. To test this hypothesis, we first established a photothrombotic stroke model that lesions the hindlimb sensorimotor cortex. Next, we demonstrated that injecting Cre-dependent AAV-retro viruses into the dorsal column of PV-Cre mice achieves specific and efficient targeting of proprioceptors. With chemogenetics, this method enables chronic activation of proprioceptors. We then assessed effects of combinatorial treatment on motor and sensory functional re...
