Transcranial direct current stimulation over multiple days enhances motor performance of a grip task
Conclusions Anodal tDCS is effective in promoting grip motor learning in healthy individuals. Further studies are warranted to test its potential use for the rehabilitation of fine motor skills in stroke patients.

Impairment from key lower limb antagonists vs. ambulation speed in chronic hemiparesis
Discussion – conclusion After stroke, ambulation speed is correlated with active range of motion against triceps surae, quadriceps and gluteus maximus rather than corresponding passive ranges of motion or spasticity levels. These results may encourage therapists to primarily aim for improvement of individual active ranges of motion against key lower limb antagonists to enhance ambulation in chronic hemiparesis.

The long-lasting effects of repetitive neck muscle vibrations on postural disturbances in standing position in chronic patients
The objective of this preliminary study is to test the long-lasting effects of repetitive neck muscle vibration (rNMV) on postural disturbances and on spatial frame reference in chronic patients. Material/patients and methods Twenty chronic stroke patients (mean age 61.4y±11, mean delay since stroke 5.5y±3), 10 right (RDB) and 10 left (LDB) brain damage, having gained the capacity to stand for more than 30s were included. They underwent 10 vibrations of 10min sessions during two weeks – the evaluation of postural asymmetry on force platform (weight body asymmetry [WBA]), spatial frames (subjective straight ahead [SSA]...

Study regarding the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on spasticity
Discussion – conclusion The limits of the study are given by the small number of patients included, a lack of a medium and long-term assessment of the therapeutic effect evaluation and the absence of a placebo controlled group.

Non-pharmacological interventions for spasticity in adults: an overview of systematic reviews
Conclusions Despite the available range of non-pharmacological interventions for spasticity, there is lack of high-quality evidence for many modalities. Further research is needed to judge the effect with appropriate study designs, timing and intensity of modalities, and associate costs of these interventions.

Association between prism adaptation and auditory cues on spatial navigation in individuals with unilateral neglect
Conclusions. This study demonstrates the positive effect of auditory cues in virtual spatial navigation of individuals with visual and auditory neglect and the potentiation of the help of cues after prism adaptation.

Interlimb neural coupling: Implications for poststroke hemiparesis
Publication date: Available online 27 June 2014 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): K.N. Arya , S. Pandian Interlimb coordination is essential to perform goal-directed daily tasks and purposeful locomotion. The coordination occurs due to spatiotemporal coupling of movements, which also comprises interactions in segmental kinematics, joint dynamics, and muscle activity. Neuroanatomical and neurophysiological linkages at the spinal and brain level are responsible for the coordination. The linkage is termed “neural coupling”. According to the task demand, the coupling may occur between two u...

Partners of the speech therapist in management of swallowing disorders; establishment of an interdisciplinary project
Publication date: September 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Volume 58, Supplement 1 Author(s): J. Legrand, M. Pascal, A. Chauvy, L. Wallart, B. Pollez, V. Hamon, D. Brière During the first three months after a stroke, healthcare teams are confronted to feeding problems such as swallowing disorders. Many studies have revealed that 91% of patients suffer from lating swallowing reflex (AHCPR, 1999; Veis and Logemann, 1985). Assessment and management are available in the acute care but are unknown later and in consequence not applied during the rehabilitation. However, the continuity of ca...

Hemiplegia and taking anabolic
We report the case of a young sportsman practicing bodybuilding as a recreation, 35 years old, without particular pathological history and having absorbed anabolic steroids for doping reasons: oxymetholone and methandrostenolone 1 tablet/D for 40 days before his stroke. Observation The clinical symptoms began to the awakening with the onset of functional impairment of the left side having recovered in 30minutes followed by a left total hemiplegia with facial central ipsilateral paralysis and swallowing disorders. CT at the same evening objectified a hypodensity in the territory of the right sylvian artery, which became he...

Cognitive, emotional, and neural benefits of musical leisure activities in aging and neurological rehabilitation: A critical review
Publication date: Available online 29 April 2017 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Author(s): Teppo Särkämö Music has the capacity to engage auditory, cognitive, motor, and emotional functions across cortical and subcortical brain regions and is relatively preserved in aging and dementia. Thus, music is a promising tool in the rehabilitation of aging-related neurological illnesses, such as stroke and Alzheimer disease. As the population ages and the incidence and prevalence of these illnesses rapidly increases, music-based interventions that are enjoyable and effective in the everyday care of the pa...

Does botulinum toxin treatment improve upper limb active function?
ConclusionBT injections for impairment and passive function are related to improved kinematic parameters; however, the relation between relief of spasticity and improved upper-limb activity has not been established. Possible explanations for the lack of functional effect in studies are first, disability is mainly due to muscle weakness rather than spasticity, so patients with the best underlying motricity may benefit the most from BT injections; second, assessment methods may not be adapted to screen eligible patients; third, most studies’ endpoints were at 4 to 12 weeks after a single injection, but repeated treatment s...
