O 078 - Diagnostic value of the Duncan Ely test for assessing abnormal activity of the rectus femoris during gait in stroke patients
Stiff knee gait is characterized by a diminished knee flexion during swing [1] and is commonly observed in children with cerebral palsy and stroke patients and can result in problems with footclearance leading to tripping and an increased risk of falling. Abnormal activity of the rectus femoris is often cited as one of the main causes of stiff knee gait [2]. The gold standard for measuring abnormal activity of the rectus femoris is electromyography. A clinical tool to assess abnormal activity of the m.

Mapping contralesional motor cortex plasticity using robotic transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with perinatal stroke
Introduction: Children with perinatal stroke are disabled by hemiparetic cerebral palsy (HCP). Motor control of the affected limb often resides in the contralesional hemisphere with preserved ipsilateral connections. Intensive therapies improve hand function but predictors are unknown. Individualized maps of the motor cortex (M1) may provide insight but are poorly studied. We aimed to use robotic TMS to characterize contralesional motor maps and their association with hand function in HCP.

Diffusion Imaging of Cerebral Diaschisis in Neonatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke
Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) is a leading cause of cerebral palsy and lifelong disability. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has revolutionized diagnosis and facilitated outcome prognostication in acute NAIS. Diaschisis refers to changes in brain areas functionally connected but structurally remote from primary injury. We hypothesized that acute DWI can quantify cerebral diaschisis and is associated with outcome from NAIS.

Ipsilesional volume loss of basal ganglia and thalamus is associated with poor hand function after ischemic perinatal stroke
Perinatal stroke (PS) is the leading cause of hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP). Involvement of the corticospinal tract on neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is predictive of motor outcome in patients wit...

Bimanual performance in children with unilateral perinatal arterial ischaemic stroke or periventricular haemorrhagic infarction
CONCLUSIONS: Children with PAIS without USCP have a more favourable bimanual hand function compared to children with PVHI. This difference appears to be associated with a preserved FSIQ.PMID:35093802 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejpn.2022.01.009

Effects of Acupuncture Combined with Biofeedback Therapy on Limb Motor Rehabilitation in Patients with Acute Stroke: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: Biofeedback therapy can improve lower limb muscle tension, spasticity, EMG integral value, and passive range of motion of ankle joint in children with cerebral palsy and provide better conditions for improving the motor ability of lower extremities in children with cerebral palsy. However, more studies and follow-up with higher methodological quality and longer intervention time are needed to further verify.PMID:35845965 | PMC:PMC9277156 | DOI:10.1155/2022/9582077

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Children With Stroke
Research into neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for children with cerebral palsy and children post-stroke is limited. However, a recent review suggests that evidence for NMES is sufficient for improvement of gait and muscle strength as well as hand function and walking speed when combined with botulinum toxin and task-specific training.1 NMES is also referred to as electrical stimulation (eStim), functional electrical stimulation (FES), or muscle stimulation.

Robot-Assisted Therapy in Upper Extremity Hemiparesis: Overview of an Evidence-Based Approach
Conclusion Robotic therapy has matured and represents an embodiment of a paradigm shift in neurorehabilitation following a stroke: instead of focusing on compensation, it affords focus in ameliorating the impaired limb in line with concepts of neuroplasticity. This technology-based treatment provides intensity, interactivity, flexibility, and adaptiveness to patient's performance and needs. Furthermore, it increases the productivity of rehabilitation care. Of course, efficiency must be discussed within a local perspective. For example, following the cost containment shown in the VA ROBOTICS study (46), the UK Nati...
