Non-invasive brain stimulation to enhance cognitive rehabilitation after stroke
Publication date: Available online 28 June 2018Source: Neuroscience LettersAuthor(s): Laurijn R. Draaisma, Maximilian J. Wessel, Friedhelm C. HummelAbstractStroke is the main cause for long-term disability. Stroke symptoms cover various domains, e.g., motor, sensory, language, or other cognitive functions. In clinical practice and rehabilitation research, especially motor impairment attracts much attention. However, also cognitive impairments are common after stroke, effecting approximately two-thirds of stroke patients in the acute phase. Although 30% of stroke patients spontaneously recover from their cognitive impairmen...

Motor Imagery Based Brain-Computer Interface Control of Continuous Passive Motion for Wrist Extension Recovery in Chronic Stroke Patients
Publication date: Available online 27 December 2019Source: Neuroscience LettersAuthor(s): Rong-Rong Lu, Mou-Xiong Zheng, Jie Li, Tian-Hao Gao, Xu-Yun Hua, Gang Liu, Song-Hua Huang, Jian-Guang Xu, Yi WuAbstractMotor recovery of wrist and fingers is still a great challenge for chronic stroke survivors. The present study aimed to verify the efficiency of motor imagery based brain-computer interface (BCI) control of continuous passive motion (CPM) in the recovery of wrist extension due to stroke. An observational study was conducted in 26 chronic stroke patients, aged 49.0 ± 15.4 years, with upper extremity motor impairme...

Structural and functional improvements due to robot-assisted gait training in the stroke-injured brain
Publication date: Available online 21 November 2016 Source:Neuroscience Letters Author(s): Hea Eun Yang, Sunghyon Kyeong, Seung Hwa Lee, Won-Jae Lee, Sang Won Ha, Seung Min Kim, Hyunkoo Kang, Won Min Lee, Chang Soon Kang, Dae Hyun Kim Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) can improve walking ability after stroke. Because the underlying mechanisms are still unknown, we analyzed changes in post-stroke injured brains after RAGT. Ten non-ambulatory patients receiving inpatient rehabilitation were examined within 3 months of stroke onset. RAGT consisted of 45minutes of training, 3days per week. We acquired diffusion tensor imagi...

Effects of the multisensory rehabilitation product for home-based hand training after stroke on cortical activation by using NIRS methods
ConclusionsAccording to these results, MFTOM-induced cortical activation in the MC, PFC and TL with visual, auditory and tactile stimuli was stronger than SFTOM, providing evidence that the multisensory stimulation is more beneficial to cortical activation and cognitive control to promote neurological recovery.

Continuous and not continuous 2-week treadmill training enhances the performance in the passive avoidance test in ischemic gerbils
This study aims to investigate the frequency and total duration effects of the 2-week treadmill training after experimental ischemic stroke in the passive avoidance test. We performed bilateral occlusion of common external carotid arteries, for five minutes, in Mongolian gerbils. The training groups were: continuous training for twelve consecutive days or not continuous training for six non-consecutive days. The groups remained in the treadmill for 15min, with the speed set at 10m/min, and the training started 24h after the stroke. In the Shuttle Box, each animal had ten trials during the Learning Session (LS), which occur...

Experiencing a reaching task passively with one arm while adapting to a visuomotor rotation with the other can lead to substantial transfer of motor learning across the arms
Publication date: 18 January 2017 Source:Neuroscience Letters, Volume 638 Author(s): Shancheng Bao, Yuming Lei, Jinsung Wang The extent of transfer following visuomotor adaptation across the arms is typically limited as compared to that within the same arm. However, we have demonstrated that interlimb transfer can occur nearly completely if one arm performs reaching movements associated with a desired trajectory repeatedly and actively during an initial training session in which the other arm adapts to a novel visuomotor adaptation. Based on that finding, we argued that the absence of instances associated with specific mo...
