Bilateral actigraphic quantification of upper extremity movement in hemiparetic children with perinatal stroke: a case control study
Hemiparetic cerebral palsy impacts millions of people worldwide. Assessment of bilateral motor function in real life remains a major challenge. We evaluated quantification of upper extremity movement in hemipa...

Robotic assessment of rapid motor decision making in children with perinatal stroke
Activities of daily living frequently require children to make rapid decisions and execute desired motor actions while inhibiting unwanted actions. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal str...

Assessment of bilateral motor skills and visuospatial attention in children with perinatal stroke using a robotic object hitting task
While motor deficits are the hallmark of hemiparetic cerebral palsy, children may also experience impairments in visuospatial attention that interfere with participation in complex activities, including sports...

Bilateral reaching deficits after unilateral perinatal ischemic stroke: a population-based case-control study
Detailed kinematics of motor impairment of the contralesional ( “affected”) and ipsilesional (“unaffected”) limbs in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy are not well understood. We aimed to 1) quantify the...

Kinesthetic deficits after perinatal stroke: robotic measurement in hemiparetic children
While sensory dysfunction is common in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP) secondary to perinatal stroke, it is an understudied contributor to disability with limited objective measurement tools. Rob...

Chronic muscle stimulation improves muscle function and reverts the abnormal surface EMG pattern in Myotonic Dystrophy: a pilot study
Conclusions: NMES determined a clear-cut improvement of both the muscular weakness and the sarcolemmal excitability alteration in our small group of DM1 patients. Therefore this rehabilitative approach, if confirmed by further extensive studies, could be considered early in the management of muscular impairment in these patients. An attractive hypothesis to explain our encouraging result could be represented by a functional inhibition of SK3 channels expressed in muscle of DM1 subjects.
