Regular physical activity is associated with enhanced plasticity in the motor cortex, but effect of a single session aerobic exercise on neuroplasticity unknown. The aim this study was to compare corticospinal excitability and upper limb cortical representation following lower cycling at either low or moderate intensity, control condition. We recruited 25 healthy adults take part three experimental sessions. Cortical examined using transcranial magnetic stimulation elicit motor-evoked...
Background and Purpose— Regular physical activity (PA) is an important recommendation for stroke prevention. We compared the associations of self-reported PA with incident in Reasons Geographic Racial Differences Stroke (REGARDS) study. Methods— REGARDS recruited 30 239 US blacks (42%) whites, aged ≥45 years follow-up every 6 months events. Excluding those prior stroke, analysis involved 27 348 participants who reported their frequency moderate to vigorous intensity at baseline according 3...
<h3>Importance</h3> The amount and intensity of physical activity required to prevent stroke are yet be fully determined because previous reliance on self-reporting measures. Furthermore, the association between objectively measured time spent being sedentary as an independent risk factor for is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate associations accelerometer-measured varying duration with incident stroke. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study involved participants...
Introduction There is evidence for beneficial effects of acute and long-term exercise interventions on several forms memory, including procedural motor learning. In the present study we examined how performing a single bout continuous moderate intensity aerobic would impact skill acquisition retention in young healthy adults, compared to period rest. We hypothesized that improve retention, practice alone. Materials Methods Sixteen adults completed sessions or seated rest were immediately...
There is increasing evidence that the cerebellum has a role in pathophysiology of primary focal hand dystonia and might provide an intervention target for non-invasive brain stimulation to improve function affected hand. The objective this study was determine if cerebellar transcranial direct current (tDCS) improves handwriting cyclic drawing kinematics people with dystonia, by reducing cerebellar-brain inhibition (CBI) evoked magnetic (TMS). Eight (5 writer's 3 musician's dystonia) eight...
In preclinical models, behavioral training early after stroke produces larger gains compared with delayed training. The effects are thought to be mediated by increased and widespread reorganization of synaptic connections in the brain. It is viewed as a period spontaneous biological recovery during which plasticity increased.To look for evidence similar change human brain weeks months ischemic stroke.We used continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) activate synapses repeatedly motor cortex....
Background. Reorganization of the human motor cortex can be induced by specific patterns peripheral afferent stimulation. The potential for stimulation to facilitate functional recovery associated with conventional rehabilitative techniques has not previously been investigated. Objective. authors sought determine whether combining appropriate task-specific training resulted in greater improvements than alone patients impaired upper limb function subacute phase following stroke. Method....
Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) allows measurement of blood flow velocities in the intracranial vessels, and can be used to assess cerebral vasodilator responses a hypercapnic stimulus. The reliability this technique has not been established, nor is there agreement about whether should performed sitting or lying postures. We tested intra- inter-rater measures cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) 10 healthy adults, Participants underwent triplicate bilateral assessment middle arteries...
