Kinetic and kinematic workspaces of the index finger following stroke.

The objective of this study was to explore motor impairment of the index finger following stroke. More specifically, the kinetics and kinematics of the index finger were analysed throughout its workspace. Twenty-four stroke survivors with chronic hemiparesis of the hand participated in the trials, along with six age-matched controls. Hand impairment was classified according to the clinical Ched...

Acute Finger Paralysis: A Case Report of Cortical Ischemic Stroke

Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.

Lacunar stroke is the major cause of progressive motor deficits.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Severe motor deficits are the predominant cause of long-term disability in stroke patients. In particular, progressive hemiparesis in the initial stage after stroke onset is frequently devastating. Therefore, we attempted to define the population at risk with respect to the presumed pathogenesis. METHODS Among 941 stroke patients hospitalized during a 3-year period, 92 ...
