Modelling rhythmic function in a musician post-stroke

Modelling rhythmic function in a musician post-stroke.

The aim of this study was to model the components of rhythmic function in a case (H.J.) of acquired rhythmic disturbance. H.J. is a right-handed, amateur male musician who acquired arrhythmia in the context of a global amusia after sustaining a right temporoparietal infarct. His rhythmic disturbance was analysed in relation to three independent components using an autoregressive extension of Wi...

A Case of Post-stroke Rhythmic Akathisia

netic movement disorders are uncommon in acute stroke. Ghika Schmid et al. have identified 29 patients with acute or delayed movement disorders among 2500 acute stroke patients. Recently, we have experienced 34 post-stroke tremor patients among approximately 2000 acute stroke patients over a 5-year period. Our results suggested that post-stroke dyskinesia are not very rare symptoms of stroke. F...

Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Entrainment: Assisting post-stroke gait rehabilitation

Restoring mobility and rehabilitation of gait are high priorities for rehabilitation of neurological conditions. Cueing using metronomic rhythmic sensory stimulation via entrainment has been shown to improve gait, but almost all previous versions of this approach have used auditory or visual cues. In contrast, we have developed and pilot-tested a prototype wearable system for rhythmic cueing ba...

Does unilateral pedaling activate a rhythmic locomotor pattern in the nonpedaling leg in post-stroke hemiparesis?

Recent investigation in persons with clinically complete spinal cord injury has revealed that locomotor activity in one limb can activate rhythmic locomotor activity in the opposite limb. Although our previous research has demonstrated profound influences of the nonparetic limb on paretic limb motor activity poststroke, the potency of interlimb pathways for increasing recruitment of the paretic...
