Effect of whole body vibration on spasticity in hemiplegic legs of patients with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These results confirmed a significant reduction of motor neuron excitability until 20 min after the WBV, as indicated by F-wave parameters. PMID: 29032720 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Treatment with Botulinum Toxin on Sleep Quality in Stroke-Related Spasticity
Stroke is one of the most common causes of mortality and neurological disability worldwide.1 Spasticity is one of the most common findings of hemiplegia after stroke and the rate of spasticity after stroke is 40%.2 Spasticity is defined as sensory-motor control disorder, arising from intermittent or continuous involuntary activation of muscles resulting from upper motor neuron lesion.3 Although spasticity has benefits such as contributing to standing and walking, preventing osteoporosis, deep vein thrombosis and contributing to blood circulation, it is a complex disorder that causes serious disability in daily life activit...

The evidence for prolonged muscle stretching in ankle joint management in upper motor neuron lesions: considerations for rehabilitation - a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: The review adds stronger understanding with regard to stretching considerations in rehabilitation following UMNs. The ideal approach, as well as the functional implications on motor performance are yet to be further studied. PMID: 30477408 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Prevention of post-stroke disuse muscle atrophy with a free radical scavenger.
Authors: Naritomi H, Moriwaki H Abstract In spite of appropriate treatment in the acute phase of stroke, quite a few patients with hemiparetic stroke become disabled and stay in a wheelchair or bedridden state in the chronic phase. In stroke patients, gait dysfunction results mainly from severe hemiparesis due to ischemic damage to the motor neuron tract and partly from disuse muscle atrophy in paretic and nonparetic legs. Disuse muscle atrophy occurs even in healthy subjects as early as 4 days after bed rest immobilization and progresses further correlating with the duration of immobilization. Although detailed me...

Does the Babinski sign predict functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke?
ConclusionThe incidence of Babinski sign was 32.8% in the acute ischemic stroke. Severe infarction and basal ganglia infarct were independent predictors of Babinski sign. Although Babinski sign is common in acute ischemic stroke patients, it does not predict poor functional outcome 3  months later.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 2797: The Place of Botulinum Toxin in Spastic Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain after Stroke: A Scoping Review
Struyf Stroke is a common pathology worldwide, with an age-standardized global rate of new strokes of 150.5 per 100,000 population in 2017. Stroke causes upper motor neuron impairment leading to a spectrum of muscle weakness around the shoulder joint, changes in muscle tone, and subsequent soft tissue changes. Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is the most common pain condition in stroke patients and one of the four most common medical complications after stroke. The importance of the appropriate positioning and handling of the hemiplegic shoulder for prevention of HSP is therefore of high clinical relevance. Nevertheless...

Needle Electromyography in the Acute Phase of Stroke: Correlation With Severity and Muscle Strength: Preliminary Findings
Conclusion: It was concluded that the main EMG findings in the acute phase of stroke were the presence of the denervation process and polyphasic motor unit potentials. These changes in EMG were correlated with stroke severity and lower muscle strength.

Evaluation of post-stroke spasticity from the subacute to chronic stages: A clinical and neurophysiologic study of motoneuron pool excitability
This study aimed to compare changes in H-reflex excitability in the spastic and unimpaired upper and lower limbs of patients with acute and chronic stroke. We also investigated the relationship between the degree of spasticity as assessed by the MAS and motor neuron pool excitability with by analyzing H-reflex excitability. Sixty adult patients with a first-ever stroke were recruited for this study. MAS scores were recorded in the post-stroke upper and lower limb muscles. H-reflexes and M-responses of the bilateral flexor carpi radialis and soleus were tested by stimulating the median and tibial nerves. The results showed ...
