Nonlinear mixed-effects model reveals a distinction between learning and performance in intensive reach training post-stroke
We recently showed that individuals with chronic stroke who completed two sessions of intensive unassisted arm reach training exhibited improvements in movement times up to one month post-training. Here, we st...

Effect of a mixed reality-based intervention on arm, hand, and finger function on chronic stroke
Virtual and mixed reality systems have been suggested to promote motor recovery after stroke. Basing on the existing evidence on motor learning, we have developed a portable and low-cost mixed reality tabletop...

Efficacy of virtual reality-based intervention on balance and mobility disorders post-stroke: a scoping review
Rehabilitation interventions involving virtual reality (VR) technology have been developed for the promotion of functional independence post stroke. A scoping review was performed to examine the efficacy of VR-based interventions on balance and mobility disorders post stroke. Twenty-four articles in the English language examining VR game-based interventions and outcomes directed at balance and mobility disorders were included. Various VR systems (customized and commercially available) were used as rehabilitation tools. Outcome measures included laboratory and clinical measures of balance and gait. Outcome measures of dynam...

Shotgun approaches to gait analysis: insights & limitations
Discussion & conclusion: Extracting a measure's classification capacity cannot solely rely on its statistical validity but typically requires proper post-hoc analysis. However, choosing the latter inevitably introduces some arbitrariness, which may affect outcome in general. We hence advocate the use of generic expert systems, possibly based on machine-learning.

The application of precisely controlled functional electrical stimulation to the shoulder, elbow and wrist for upper limb stroke rehabilitation: a feasibility study
Conclusions: This feasibility study indicates that technology comprising low-cost hardware fused with advanced FES controllers accurately assists upper limb movement and may reduce upper limb impairments following stroke.

Assessment of biofeedback rehabilitation in post-stroke patients combining fMRI and gait analysis: a case study
Conclusions: Our findings showed that this methodology allows evaluation of the relationship between alterations in gait and brain activation of a post-stroke patient. Such methodology, if applied on a larger sample subjects, could provide information about the specific motor area involved in a rehabilitation treatment.

Facilitating myoelectric-control with transcranial direct current stimulation: a preliminary study in healthy humans
This study on 12 healthy volunteers was conducted to investigate the effects of anodal tDCS of the primary motor cortex (M1) and cerebellum on latencies during isometric contraction of tibialis anterior (TA) muscle for myoelectric visual pursuit with quick initiation/termination of muscle activation i.e. 'ballistic EMG control' as well as modulation of EMG for 'proportional EMG control'. Results: The normalized delay in initiation and termination of muscle activity during post-intervention 'ballistic EMG control' trials showed a significant main effect of the anodal tDCS target: cerebellar, M1, sham (F(2) = 2.33, p
