Introduction: Restorative therapies have maximal impact when introduced early post-stroke. Dopamine modulates learning and plasticity, its levels decrease after stroke, making it a key therapeutic candidate. For restorative therapy to promote experience-dependent concomitant training is needed must be provided experimentally given low rehabilitation doses received with usual care (UC); here this was using an established telerehabilitation (TR) system. Current hypotheses : [H1] Adding...
Background: Cognitive factors influence motor performance, but often this is not considered when testing function. Here we examined issue using 3 versions of the Box and Blocks Test (BBT), a measure arm First, developed 2 new, briefer BBT then tested their validity. Second, hypothesized that cognitive would be more strongly related to require longer period testing. Methods: In 71 patients <=30 days post-stroke, were scored. BBT60 standard one; subjects move as many blocks possible over...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background.</bold> Training at faster gait speeds is recommended to improve activity limitations in adults with stroke. Walking can also increase step length and anterior ground reaction force (AGRF) relative post-stroke habitual walking patterns. Recent work has developed a prediction equation that utilizes individual characteristics predict neurotypical or pre-stroke AGRF value for an individual. However, it unclear how the predicted individualized values from...
Proprioception is critical to motor control and functional status but has received limited study early after stroke. Patients admitted an inpatient rehabilitation facility for stroke (n = 18, mean(±SD) 12.5 ± 6.6 days from stroke) older healthy controls 19) completed the Wrist Position Sense Test (WPST), a validated, quantitative measure of wrist proprioception, as well cognitive testing. were serially tested when available 12, mean 11 between assessments). In controls, WPST error was 9.7...
Background: Proprioception is critical to motor control. The prevalence, severity, and clinical correlates of deficits in wrist proprioception early after stroke have received limited attention were examined patients admitted an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF). Methods: Patients for our IRF (n=18) older healthy controls (n=12) completed the Wrist Position Sense Test (WPST), a validated, quantitative measure, as well cognitive testing. serially tested when available (n=12). Results:...
