The effect of upper-extremity aerobic exercise on complex regional pain syndrome type I: a randomized controlled study on subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: UEAE made an excellent improvement in the symptoms and signs of CRPS I. Combined treatment of conventional physiotherapy and aerobic exercises may be an excellent synthesis for this syndrome in these patients. PMID: 25943440 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post Stroke Pain: Identification, Assessment, and Therapy
Background: Pain is a common complication after stroke and is associated with the presence of depression, cognitive dysfunction, and impaired quality of life. It remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, despite evidence that effective treatment of pain may improve function and quality of life. Summary: We provide an overview of the means for clinical assessment and risk factors for the development of post-stroke pain, then review the newest available literature regarding the commonest post-stroke pain syndromes, including central post-stroke pain, complex regional pain syndrome, musculoskeletal pain including shoulder subl...

Utilization of motor imagery in upper limb rehabilitation: A systematic scoping review.
CONCLUSION: Many of the imagery elements reviewed are not being considered or reported on in the selected studies. How motor imagery is being delivered within and between populations is inconsistent, which may lead to difficulties in determining key elements of effectiveness.

An augmented reality home-training system based on the mirror training and imagery approach.
This article presents an augmented reality home-training system based on the mirror and imagery treatment approaches for hand training. A head-mounted display equipped with cameras captures one hand held in front of the body, mirrors this hand, and displays it in real time in a set of four different training tasks: (1) flexing fingers in a predefined sequence, (2) moving the hand into a posture fitting into a silhouette template, (3) driving a "Snake" video game with the index finger, and (4) grasping and moving a virtual ball. The system records task performance and transfers these data to a central server via the Interne...

Absent median somatosensory evoked potential is a predictor of type I complex regional pain syndrome after stroke.
Conclusions: In conclusion, GHS and the absent median SEP at sub-acute phase of stroke were primary predictors of the onset of post-stoke CRPS. Implications for Rehabilitation Recent investigations have suggested that autonomic, motor and somatosensory abnormalities of CRPS are impairments involving the central nervous system (CNS) as well as the peripheral neurogenic inflammatory process. However, the understanding of the pathophysiology of CRPS is still far from complete. The absence of SEP at the sub-acute stage of stroke correlated with the onset of post-stroke CRPS type I. The SEP evaluation at the sub-acute period af...

Multimodal physical therapy management of a 48-year-old female with post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome.
Abstract Abstract This case report describes a 48-year-old female who presented with complaints of right shoulder pain, hyperesthesias and swelling of the hand along with added symptoms of pain centralization following a cerebrovascular accident. On clinical evaluation, the patient satisfied the Budapest diagnostic criteria for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type-1. Physical therapy management (1st three sessions) was initially focused on pain neurophysiology education with an aim to reduce kinesiophobia and reconceptualise her pain perception. The patient had an immediate significant improvement in her pai...

Neglect-like symptoms in complex regional pain syndrome: Learned nonuse by another name?
The use of the term ‘neglect-like’ to characterise symptoms displayed by patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has proved to be provocative. It has provided the stimulus for an ever-increasing number of studies exploring spatial perception in affected patients, with calls for further related studies . Although this work would undoubtedly be of interest, there are perhaps 2 important factors to consider if such studies are undertaken. Firstly, studies that have relied on standard clinical tests typically used to identify spatial neglect after stroke have not confirmed the presence of a related deficit in C...
