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...

A 73-year-old man complained of sudden clumsiness affecting his right hand that had lasted for two days. His blood pressure was 182/119 mmHg. A neurological examination revealed mild weakness of his right ring and small fingers. No other neurological impairment was found. The patient’s blood glucose level was 458 mg/dL. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (Picture A, B: diffusion-weighted images, ...
متن کاملThe effect of mirror therapy on motor abilities of patients with stroke
Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of disability. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post stroke recovery process for medical, social and economical purposes. Aim: To determine the effect of mirror therapy on motor ability of patients with stroke. Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted on 38 pa...
متن کاملAcute 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.
متن کاملLacunar 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 ...
