We investigated the effects of brain-computer interface (BCI) combined with mental practice (MP) and occupational therapy (OT) on performance in activities daily living (ADL) stroke survivors.Participants were randomized into two groups: experimental (n = 23, BCI controlling a hand exoskeleton MP OT) control 21, OT). Subjects assessed functional independence measure (FIM), motor activity log (MAL), amount use (MAL-AOM), quality movement (MAL-QOM). The box blocks test (BBT) Jebsen (JHFT) used...
Background After a central nervous system lesion, the ability to control muscle activation and relaxation in specific joint ranges may be impaired. The underlying mechanism of this sensorimotor impairment is related decreased regulate tonic stretch reflex threshold (TSRT) through descending peripheral processes. In dynamics, its velocity-sensitivity (μ) describe how movement upper limb (UL) impaired after stroke. Objective To examine relationships between measures elbow flexor using TSRT μ,...
Background A better understanding of migraine pathophysiology through standardized methods could facilitate the development more effective therapeutic approaches for sufferers. However, neurophysiological studies with sufferers present larger variability, as most contain only a single measurement. Objective This observational study aimed to compare cortical and visual excitability sufferers, individuals other types headaches, healthy participants in response pattern-reversal stimulation....
There is a lack of conceptual and theoretical clarity among clinicians researchers regarding the control motor actions based on use term "motor control." It important to differentiate processes from observations output improve communication make progress in understanding disorders their remediation. This article clarifies terminology related concepts underlying actions, emphasizing how control" applied neurorehabilitation. Two major opposing frameworks are described (i.e., direct indirect),...
Background: In 2020, the world was surprised by spread and mass contamination of new Coronavirus (COVID-19). COVID-19 produces symptoms ranging from a common cold to severe that can lead death. Several strategies have been implemented improve well-being patients during their hospitalization, virtual reality (VR) has used. However, whether hospitalized for benefit this intervention remains unclear. Therefore, study aimed investigate VR contributes control pain symptoms, sensation dyspnea,...
The ability to produce coordinated movement is dependent on dynamic interactions through transcallosal fibers between the two cerebral hemispheres of brain. Although typically unilateral, stroke induces changes in functional and effective connectivity across hemispheres, which are related sensorimotor impairment recovery. Previous studies have focused almost exclusively interhemispheric primary motor cortex (M1).To identify presence asymmetry (ASY) somatosensory (S1) excitability investigate...
Background: Successful rehabilitation is associated with physical, psychological, environmental, social, and personal factors based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) framework. The influence age has been suggested as crucial that may affect needs in post-stroke survivors. aim this study was to investigate qualifiers ICF core set for stroke detect differences goals between older (O, >65 years old) younger (Y, ≤65 old,) individuals.
