Introduction COVID-19 complications can include neurological, psychiatric, psychological, and psychosocial impairments. Little is known on the consequences of SARS-COV-2 cognitive functions patients in sub-acute phase disease. We aimed to investigate impact admitted Rehabilitation Unit San Raffaele Hospital (Milan, Italy). Material methods 87 from March 27 th June 20 2020 were included. Patients underwent Mini Mental State Evaluation (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Hamilton...
The coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has dramatically transformed the organization of public and private health organizations Lombardy region, Italian region where viral spread been more quick intense (1).According to data available on 8 th April 2020 from beginning epidemic at end February, 139,422 cases 17,669 deaths have reported in Italy, which may underestimate real incidence.The rapid virus upset all hospital organizations.The Rehabilitation Hospitals, as well rehabilitation units...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To investigate the safety and efficacy of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) in treatment motor symptoms Parkinson disease (PD). <h3>Background:</h3> Progression PD is characterized by emergence deficits, which eventually respond less to dopaminergic therapy pose a therapeutic challenge. Repetitive transcranial magnetic (rTMS) has shown promising results improving gait, major cause disability, may provide alternative. iTBS novel type rTMS that be more efficacious...
Chronic pain, such as low-back can be a highly disabling condition degrading people's quality of life (QoL). Not every patient responds to pharmacological therapies, thus alternative treatments have developed. The chronicity pain lead somatic dysperception, meaning mismatch between patients' own body perception and its actual physical state. Since clinical evaluation relies on subjective reports, image disruption associated with an incorrect rating inducing treatment possible risk drug...
The rapid evolution of the health emergency linked to spread severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 requires specifications for rehabilitative management patients with disease 2019 (COVID-19). symptomatic COVID-19 is characterized by phases: an phase in which symptoms prevail and a postacute can show related prolonged immobilization, previous current dysfunctions, cognitive emotional disorders. Thus, there need specialized care these patients. This communication reports experience...
The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) can cause neurological, psychiatric, psychological, and psychosocial impairments. Literature regarding cognitive impact of COVID-19 is still limited. aim this study was to evaluate deficits emotional distress among post–COVID-19 patients who required functional rehabilitation. Specifically, explored compared psychological status in the subacute phase (COVID-19 group) postillness period (post–COVID-19 group). Forty admitted rehabilitation units were...
Objective. To investigate the safety and efficacy of 50-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treatment motor symptoms Parkinson disease (PD). Background. Progression PD is characterized by emergence deficits that gradually respond less to dopaminergic therapy. rTMS has shown promising results improving gait, a major cause disability, may provide therapeutic alternative. Prior controlled studies suggest an increase frequency might enhance efficacy. Methods. In this...
Abstract Sensory inputs from cutaneous and limb receptors are known to influence motor cortex network excitability. Although most recent studies have focused on the inhibitory influences of afferent arm responses evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), facilitatory effects rarely considered. In present work, we sought establish how proprioceptive sensory modulate excitability primary region controlling certain hand wrist muscles. Suprathreshold TMS pulses were preceded either...
Background Visually determining what is reachable in peripersonal space requires information about the egocentric location of objects but also possibilities action with body, which are context dependent. The aim present study was to test role motor representations visual perception space. Methodology Seven healthy participants underwent a TMS while performing right-left decision (control) task or perceptually judging whether target not their right hand. An actual grasping movement included....
To better understand the physiological mechanisms responsible for differential motor cortex functioning in aging, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate interhemispheric interactions and cortical representation of hand muscles early phase correlating these data with participants' abilities. Right-handed healthy subjects were divided into a younger group (n = 15, mean age 25.4 ± 1.9 years old) an older 16, 61.1 5.1 old). Activity bilateral abductor pollicis brevis (APB)...
Background. The role of the right hemisphere in poststroke aphasia recovery is still controversial and effects repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over homologous Broca’s region have been seldom investigated. Objective. This study aimed to compare effect excitatory, inhibitory, sham rTMS delivered with H-coil inferior frontal gyrus chronic aphasic patients. Methods. Five right-handed patients underwent a picture naming task before immediately after each 3 sessions rTMS:...
