Spasticity, Motor Recovery, and Neural Plasticity after Stroke
Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and disappears in the course of complete motor recovery. Spasticity and motor recovery are both related to neural plasticity after stroke. However, the relation between the two remains poorly understood among clinicians and...
متن کاملPredictors of Spasticity After Stroke
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Spasticity is a part of the upper motor neuron syndrome and can result in reduced function. Reduction of the complications may be facilitated by early intervention, making identification of stroke patients at high risk for developing spasticity essential. RECENT FINDING Different predictors of poststroke spasticity (PSS) have been suggested in different studies, including de...
متن کاملImplicit Motor Learning after Unilateral Stroke Using Serial Reaction Time Task
Introduction: Motor skills and learning after stroke are of a great importance. This study aimed at studying implicit learning in unilateral stroke patients using affected hand and comparison with normal subjects. Methods: A serial reaction time task by using a software was applied for studying implicit motor learning in 15 stroke patients and 15 matched normal subjects. In this task 4 squar...
متن کاملSpasticity after stroke: physiology, assessment and treatment.
BACKGROUND Spasticity following a stroke occurs in about 30% of patients. The mechanisms underlying this disorder, however, are not well understood. METHOD This review aims to define spasticity, describe hypotheses explaining its development after a stroke, give an overview of related neuroimaging studies as well as a description of the most common scales used to quantify the degree of spasti...
متن کاملRecovery of motor disability and spasticity in post-stroke after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
Lately it has been indicated that the stimulation of both sides of the motor cortices with different frequencies of rTMS can improve the behaviour of a paretic arm. We studied the effect of rTMS in severe cases of post-stroke after nearly 10 years. They had wide hemispheric lesion and their paresis had not changed for more than 5 years. The majority of patients could not move their fingers on t...
