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 کاملCortical Plasticity during Motor Learning and Recovery after Ischemic Stroke
The motor system has the ability to adapt to environmental constraints and injury to itself. This adaptation is often referred to as a form of plasticity allowing for livelong acquisition of new movements and for recovery after stroke. We are not sure whether learning and recovery work via same or similar neural mechanisms. But, all these processes require widespread changes within the matrix o...
متن کاملMaladaptive Plasticity for Motor Recovery after Stroke: Mechanisms and Approaches
Many studies in human and animal models have shown that neural plasticity compensates for the loss of motor function after stroke. However, neural plasticity concerning compensatory movement, activated ipsilateral motor projections and competitive interaction after stroke contributes to maladaptive plasticity, which negatively affects motor recovery. Compensatory movement on the less-affected s...
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...
متن کاملDoes Spasticity Interfere with Functional Recovery after Stroke? a Novel Approach to Understand, Measure and Treat Spasticity after Acute Stroke
Objective: To explore, following a literature review, if there was a consistent definition and a unified assessment framework for the term ‘spasticity’. The congruence between the definitions of spasticity and the corresponding methods of measurement were also explored. Data sources: The search was performed on the electronic databases of Web of Science, Science Direct and Medline. Review metho...
