Early brain imaging predictors of post-stroke spasticity
CONCLUSION: Lesions involving motor network areas are considered to be a precondition of post-stroke spasticity. There is, however, a low risk of developing post-stroke spasticity with < 0.5 cm3 volumes of supratentorial brain lesions involving motor network areas. Larger volume brain lesions involving motor network areas, e.g. > 3 cm3, were significantly more common in patients with post-stroke spasticity. Pure cortical lesions has no risk of post-stroke spasticity in stroke survivors.PMID:33616193 | DOI:10.2340/16501977-2803

Site and size of lesion predict post-stroke spasticity: A retrospective magnetic resonance imaging study.
CONCLUSION: Large stroke volumes might predict post-stroke spasticity if the lesion is > 3 cm3 in size and if the lesion is located within the middle cerebral artery territory with involvement of the pyramidal tract and/or internal capsule. Lesion size ≤ 2 cm3 outside the middle cerebral artery territory is associated with lower risk of post-stroke spasticity. PMID: 32179931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral infarct site and affected vascular territory as factors in breathing weakness in patients with subacute stroke.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of breathing weakness was very high in stroke patients admitted to a neurorehabilitation ward, being more severe in cortical or cortico-subcortical stroke. PMID: 33043382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dysarthria as a predictor of dysphagia following stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive evaluation of dysphagia, aphasia, and dysarthria are important to improve clinical outcome following stroke. The identification of dysarthria as a predictor of dysphagia can help identify risk for dysphagia in stroke and assist in the therapeutic process of swallowing problems.

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.

The functional anatomy of motor imagery after sub-acute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate a preserved interhemispheric balance of patients in the sub-acute stage when activating the cortical motor areas during MI. This could provide a reasonable physiologic baseline for using MI as an additional rehabilitative therapy for improving functional recovery in the sub-acute stage after stroke.

Motor imagery during movement activates the brain more than movement alone after stroke: A pilot study.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of motor imagery to movement may provide a practical, accessible way to modulate activity in both the planning and execution components of the motor network after stroke. PMID: 25182189 [PubMed - in process]

Mechanisms of arm paresis in middle cerebral artery distribution stroke: Pilot study.
Abstract The development of effective neurobiological adjuvants to rehabilitation of paresis caused by stroke will depend on understanding mechanisms of paresis. Our objective was to determine the extent to which upper-limb (UL) paresis after nonlacunar ischemic middle cerebral artery (MCA) distribution stroke is caused by infarction of posterior periventricular white matter (PVWM), where corticospinal fibers serving movement descend, and caused by infarction of the arm-hand region of precentral gyrus (ahPCG). We conducted a blinded, retrospective analysis of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging from...

Brain plasticity after implanted peroneal nerve electrical stimulation to improve gait in chronic stroke patients: Two case reports.
CONCLUSION: Clinical improvement of gait under peroneal nerve electrical stimulation in chronic stroke patients presenting foot drop was paralleled to metabolic changes in the damaged motor cortex. PMID: 28222547 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Neural Tract Injuries Revealed by Diffusion Tensor Tractography in a Patient With Severe Heat Stroke
Neurologic sequelae of heat stroke are prevalent among patients with severe heat stroke who require admission to an intensive care unit. Radiologic diagnosis of the condition is challenging because not every patient with clinical deficits shows abnormalities in computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. In this case review, we report a patient who had been diagnosed with a severe heat stroke and showed gait disturbance, language disorder, and cognitive impairment although conventional magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal significant findings that correlated with his symptoms. Diffusion tensor tractography has ...

Intensive virtual reality-based training for upper limb motor function in chronic stroke: a feasibility study using a single case experimental design and fMRI.
Conclusion: The VR-based intervention was feasible, safe, and intense. Adjustable application settings maintained training challenge and patient motivation. ADL-relevant UL functional improvements persisted at FU and were related to changed cortical activation patterns. Implications for Rehabilitation YouGrabber trains uni- and bimanual upper motor function. Its application is feasible, safe, and intense. The control of the virtual arms can be done in three main ways: (a) normal (b) virtual mirror therapy, or (c) virtual following. The mirroring feature provides an illusion of affected limb movements during the period when...

Effect and mechanism of mirror therapy on lower limb rehabilitation after ischemic stroke: A fMRI study
CONCLUSION: Mirror therapy promotes the recovery of lower limb motor functions in patients with ischemic stroke. Through the comparative rs-fMRI analysis, it is found that the mirror therapy promotes the functional reorganization of the injured brain.PMID:35311718 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210307
