Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy After Injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A for a Patient With Chronic Stroke: One-Year Follow-up Case Report.
DISCUSSION: The improved arm function could reflect improvements in volitional movements and coordination or speed of movements in the paretic arm that resulted from a reduction in spasticity, a reduction of learned nonuse behaviors, or use-dependent plasticity after the combination of BTX type A and constraint-induced movement therapy. If this approach proves useful in future controlled studies, this may halt the rising medical costs of the treatment of stroke.

Potential predictors of lower extremity impairments in motor coordination of stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor recovery of the lower limb, tonus of the plantar flexor muscles, and age were significant predictors of MC of the paretic lower limb.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: These findings could help rehabilitation professionals to evaluate MC deficits and plan interventions aimed at improving MC of the lower limbs for stroke subjects, based upon the knowledge of the possible factors that could contribute to MC impairments.

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on lower extremity spasticity and motor function in stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: Low-frequency rTMS over the LE motor area can improve clinical measures of muscle spasticity and motor function. More studies are needed to clarify the changes underlying this improvement in spasticity. Implications for Rehabilitation Spasticity is a common disorder and one of the causes of long-term disability after stroke. Physical therapy modalities, oral medications, focal intervention and surgical procedures have been used for spasticity reduction. Beneficial effect of the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for post-stroke upper extremity spasticity reduction and motor function improvement...

Unusual Intersection: Elucidating the Role of Erdheim Chester Disease in Stroke (P4.366)
Conclusion:A unifying diagnosis of ECD was identified for this gentleman presenting with a stroke in the setting of critical ICA stenosis. Pathology from his CEA suggests that while ECD involves multisystem inflammation, it did not appear to play a direct role in his stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Sheikhi has nothing to disclose.

A single blind, clinical trial to investigate the effects of a single session extracorporeal shock wave therapy on wrist flexor spasticity after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: In adult patients after stroke, a single session of active ESWT resulted in significant improvement in the wrist flexor spasticity and alpha motor neuron excitability.

A single group, pretest-posttest clinical trial for the effects of dry needling on wrist flexors spasticity after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that DN reduced wrist flexors spasticity and alpha motor neuron excitability in patients with stroke, and improvements persisted for one hour after DN.

Tone-inhibiting insoles enhance the reciprocal inhibition of ankle plantarflexors of post-stroke hemiparetic subjects: an electromyographic study
Conclusion Tone-inhibiting insoles enhanced RI of the soleus in post-stroke subjects, which might enhance standing stability by reducing unfavorable ankle plantarflexion tone.

Peripheral axonal excitability in hemiplegia related to subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: The lower motor neurons were affected at the level of axonal channels as a result of upper motor neuron lesion. It can be due to dying back neuropathy, homeostasis and neurovascular regulation changes in the axonal environment, activity dependant plastic changes, loss of drive coming from the central nervous system or the combination of these factors.

Model-Based Sensitivity Analysis of EMG Clustering Index With Respect to Motor Unit Properties: Investigating Post-Stroke FDI Muscle
The objective of this study is to explore the diagnostic decision and sensitivity of the surface electromyogram (EMG) clustering index (CI) with respect to post-stroke motor unit (MU) alterations through a simulation approach by the existing motor neuron pool model and surface EMG model. In the simulation analysis, three patterns of diagnostic decisions were presented in 24 groups representing eight types in three degrees of MU alterations. Specifically, the CI decision exhibited an abnormally increased pattern for five types, an abnormally decreased pattern for two types, and an invariant pattern for one type. Furthermore...

A rare cause of stroke in young children: minor head trauma associated with mineralising lenticulostriate angiopathy in three patients
Paediatr Int Child Health. 2022 Apr 26:1-5. doi: 10.1080/20469047.2022.2066386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute basal ganglia infarct following minor head trauma in association with mineralisation of lenticulostriate arteries is an increasingly recognised entity in childhood stroke. Three cases with a classical history and phenotypical features of mineralising angiopathy are described. Case 1 was a 2-year-old girl who presented with acute onset hemiparesis with a same-side upper motor neuron (UMN)-type facial palsy following minor head trauma. Case 2 was a 14-month-old boy who presented with a left side hemiparesis and...
