Robot-based hand motor therapy after stroke.
Robots can improve motor status after stroke with certain advantages, but there has been less emphasis to date on robotic developments for the hand. The goal of this study was to determine whether a hand-wrist robot would improve motor function, and to evaluate the specificity of therapy effects on brain reorganization. Subjects with chronic stroke producing moderate right arm/hand weakness rec...
متن کاملMotor Control of the Hand Before and After Stroke
The combination of the unique biomechanical properties of the human hand with the anatomy and physiology of the motor cortex and its descending pathways lead to an unprecedented behavioral repertoire. A prominent feature in the taxonomy of hand function is the distinction between power grip and fi nger individuation, which represent extremes along the continuous dimensions of stability and prec...
متن کاملEffect of Mirror Therapy on the Motor Recovery in Patients After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Objectives: One of the most important problems seen in patients after stroke is that they cannot develop normal muscle strength. In recent years, the use of Mirror Therapy (MT) in the recovery of this condition has been noticed in different studies. This study investigated the effect of MT on motor recovery in patients after stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 93 patients were divided int...
متن کاملConnectivity-Based Predictions of Hand Motor Outcome for Patients at the Subacute Stage After Stroke
BACKGROUND Connectivity-based predictions of hand motor outcome have been proposed to be useful in stroke patients. We intended to assess the prognostic value of different imaging methods on short-term (3 months) and long-term (6 months) motor outcome after stroke. METHODS We measured resting state functional connectivity (rsFC), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and grip strength in 19 stroke...
متن کاملConstraint-induced movement therapy for motor recovery after stroke.
A new therapeutic approach to rehabilitation of movement after stroke, termed Constraint-Induced (CI) Movement Therapy, has been derived from basic research with monkeys given somatosensory deafferentation. CI consists of a family of therapies; their common element is that they induce stroke patients to greatly increase the use of a more affected upper extremity for many hours a day over a 10-1...
