P60. Direct and long term influence of cardiovascular training on cognition in subacute stroke patients
Rehabilitation of cognitive deficits has been voted ‘#1 research priority’ for patients suffering from stroke (Saunders et al., 2014). Aerobic fitness training may modulate cognitive performance either by enhancing neuroplasticity or by increasing brain oxygenation. The majority of studies in this area have focused on motor function; its effect o n cognitive performance is not well understood yet. The current study therefore aims to evaluate the influence of aerobic fitness intervention on cognitive functions in subacute stroke patients, and tries to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this effect.

S5-5. Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with repetitive facilitation exercise in post-stroke patients
Repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) induces functional and structural plasticity, while repetitive facilitation exercises (RFEs) promote the functional recovery of the hemiplegic upper limb and hand to a greater extent than the conventional therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether multiple sessions of 1-Hz rTMS facilitated the effect of RFEs on hemiplegic upper-limb function in chronic post-stroke patients. The study design was a randomized double-blinded crossover study. Eighteen patients with hemiplegia of the upper limb, were assigned to two groups: the motor-before-sham rTMS group, which performed m...

47. Botulinum toxin for the upper limb after stroke: Comparison between incobotulinumtoxin A, botulinum toxin drug free of complexing proteins, and conventional botulinum toxin formulation. A preliminary study
Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) provides a valuable tool in the multi-modal treatment of spasticity. Incobotulinumtoxin A (InBoNT/A) is a highly purified BoNT/A agent, free of any complexing clostridial proteins.Clinical experience suggests that InBoNT/A is identical from efficacy, duration of therapeutic effect and tolerability profile. Our aim was to compare the effect of the CBoNT/A vs InBoNT/A on spasticity of the upper limb, evaluated with Modificated Aswhort Scale (MAS), and on amplitude of compound motor action potentials (CMAP) of biceps muscle in patients after brain stroke. A randomized, double-blind, parallel-gr...

P11. Quality of Life after pediatric ischemic stroke: Five year follow-up of swiss children
Children after pediatric arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) are known to suffer from neurological and neuropsychological impairments but limited data is available concerning quality of life (QoL) outcome. The aim of this present study is to examine long-term effects on QoL in a population-based AIS sample from Switzerland.

1-A-D-4. Effects of repetitive facilitative exercise with neuromuscular electrical stimulation, direct application of vibratory stimulation and repetitive transcranial stimulation of the hemiplegic hand in chronic stroke patients
Repetitive facilitative exercise (RFE) is a recently developed approach to the rehabilitation of hemiplegia. RFE can be integrated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), direct application of vibratory stimulation (DAVS), and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to achieve further improvement. The aims of the present study were to retrospectively compare the effects of RFE and NMES+DAVS with those of RFE and rTMS and to determine the maximal effect of the combination of RFE with NMES, DAVS, rTMS and pharmacological treatments in chronic stroke patients.

ID 126 – Cortical connectivity and lesion volumes correlation in acute stroke patients: A study via graph theory from EEG data
Functional connectivity is essential for brain functions. Focal brain lesions could have important remote effects on the functions of distant brain regions even if outside the damaged area. Network dysfunction may contribute to neurological deficits observed for example after stroke. We explored how functional network characteristics, measured via EEG recordings, correlate with the lesion volume on MRI.

ID 452 – Sympathetic skin response in stroke patients
Sympathetic dysfunction could lead to life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the size, location, nature of the lesion, and the sympathetic skin response (SSR).Thirty patients with stroke and 30 healthy subjects were included in this study. All patients were investigated by using brain imaging and clinical scales. SSRs were elicited on four extremities in both groups. Latency and amplitude values of the responses were measured. In the patient group, SSR were analyzed both in the early (in the first month) and the late stages (one month later first recording) of the patients.

EP 10. Home-based motor imagery training in chronic stroke supported by neurofeedback: A feasibility study
Chronic hemiparesis of an upper limp following stroke has been related to an over-involvement of the ipsilateral hemisphere that inhibits use of the affected limb. Interventions helping to shift back this altered lateralization have been suggested to positively affect upper limp functional recovery. One such intervention is the combination of motor imagery (MI) supported by EEG neurofeedback. However, cortical reorganization requires highly intensive practice. In this feasibility study this was achieved by implementing a mobile EEG neurofeedback system.
