Early brain imaging predictors of post-stroke spasticity
CONCLUSION: Lesions involving motor network areas are considered to be a precondition of post-stroke spasticity. There is, however, a low risk of developing post-stroke spasticity with < 0.5 cm3 volumes of supratentorial brain lesions involving motor network areas. Larger volume brain lesions involving motor network areas, e.g. > 3 cm3, were significantly more common in patients with post-stroke spasticity. Pure cortical lesions has no risk of post-stroke spasticity in stroke survivors.PMID:33616193 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2803

Site and size of lesion predict post-stroke spasticity: A retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study.
CONCLUSION: Large stroke volumes might predict post-stroke spasticity if the lesion is > 3 cm3 in size and if the lesion is located within the middle cerebral artery territory with involvement of the pyramidal tract and/or internal capsule. Lesion size ≤ 2 cm3 outside the middle cerebral artery territory is associated with lower risk of post-stroke spasticity. PMID: 32179931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral infarct site and affected vascular territory as factors in breathing weakness in patients with subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of breathing weakness was very high in stroke patients admitted to a neurorehabilitation ward, being more severe in cortical or cortico-subcortical stroke. PMID: 33043382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Motor imagery during movement activates the brain more than movement alone after stroke: A pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of motor imagery to movement may provide a practical, accessible way to modulate activity in both the planning and execution components of the motor network after stroke. PMID: 25182189 [PubMed - in process]

Impaired motor control due to proprioceptive sensory loss in a patient with cerebral infarction localized to the postcentral gyrus.
Conclusion: Loss of motor control may occur even with a normal corticospinal tract when proprioception is severely impaired by dysfunction of the sensorimotor network in the brain. PMID: 25268114 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
