Contralaterally Controlled Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Recovery of Ankle Dorsiflexion: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial In Patients With Chronic Post-Stroke Hemiplegia.
CONCLUSIONS: The results support the hypothesis that gait training combined with either CCNMES or cyclic NMES reduces lower extremity impairment and functional ambulation but do not support the hypothesis that CCNMES is more effective than cyclic NMES in patients with chronic post-stroke hemiplegia.

Effects of a 25-km trial on psychological, physiological and stroke characteristics of short- and mid-distance swimmers.
Conclusion: These results suggest that, despite the occurrence of fatigue, as evidenced by the drop in velocity and changes in psychological profile, swimmers were able to complete the 25-km trial by adopting a conservative pacing, unveiling also a reserve in maximum performance.

Robotics, stem cells, and brain-computer interfaces in rehabilitation and recovery from stroke: updates and advances.
CONCLUSIONS: Robotics, stem cells, and brain-computer interfaces all have tremendous potential to reduce disability and lead to better outcomes for patients with stroke. Continued research and investment will be needed as the field moves forward. With this investment, the potential for recovery of function is likely substantial. PMID: 25313662 [PubMed - in process]

Early rehabilitation treatment combined with equino varus foot deformity surgical correction in stroke patients: safety and changes in gait parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: An orthosis-assisted immediate rehabilitation associated with surgical procedure is safe and may be suitable to correct EVFD by restoring both the neutral heel foot-ground contact and the ankle DF peaks during stance and swing at one month from surgery. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The proposed protocol is a safe and potentially useful rehabilitative approach after EVFD surgical correction in stroke patients.

Muscle strengthening for hemiparesis after stroke: A meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Progressive resistance training seemed to be the most effective treatment to improve strength. When it is appropriately targeted, it significantly improves strength. PMID: 26969343 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pre-therapy Neural State of Bilateral Motor and Premotor Cortices Predicts Therapy Gain After Subcortical Stroke: A Pilot Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Glutamatergic state of bilateral motor and premotor cortices and neuronal state of ipsilesional premotor cortex may be important for predicting motor outcome in the context of a restorative therapy. PMID: 28737516 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stepping Piezoelectric Actuators with Large Working Stroke for Nano-positioning Systems: A Review
Publication date: Available online 8 April 2019Source: Sensors and Actuators A: PhysicalAuthor(s): Jianping Li, Hu Huang, Takeshi MoritaAbstractPrecision positioning systems with large working stroke (millimeter or more) and micro/nano-scale positioning resolution are widely required in both scientific research and industries. For this kind of applications, piezoelectric materials based actuators show unique advantages and have been widely employed. To overcome the demerit of the limited working stroke for single piezoelectric element, various stepping motion principles have been proposed in the past years, and accordingly...

A Sandwich Piezoelectric Actuator with Long Stroke and Nanometer Resolution by the Hybrid of Two Actuation Modes
Publication date: Available online 8 July 2019Source: Sensors and Actuators A: PhysicalAuthor(s): Jie Deng, Weishan Chen, Kai Li, Liang Wang, Yingxiang LiuAbstractA piezoelectric actuator operating at direct actuation mode and inertial actuation mode was proposed for linear driving with long stroke, nanometer resolution and high scan rate. Different from the previous piezoelectric actuators constructed with stacked flexure structures, the proposed actuator used a sandwich structure with high resonance frequency. The operating principle was discussed. The structure was designed by the assistance of theoretical analysis and ...

Unilateral Strength Training and Mirror Therapy in Patients With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: This pilot trial established the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial comparing mirror-aided cross-education with cross-education alone for poststroke upper limb recovery. Mirror therapy did not augment cross-education when training isometrically. However, results indicate that the combination of interventions should be investigated further applying an altered training protocol. PMID: 31318745 [PubMed - in process]

Reducing the number of test items of the Action Research Arm Test post stroke: A decision tree analysis
Conclusion - A decision tree version of the ARAT was developed, reducing the maximum number of items necessary for ARAT administration from 19 to 4. The scores produced by the decision tree had excellent criterion validity with original ARAT scores.PMID:34998711 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2021.12.011
