Understanding upper limb recovery after stroke.
This review addresses what is currently known about the time course of skill reacquisition after stroke. There is growing evidence that the natural logarithmic pattern of functional recovery can be modified by intensive task-oriented practice preferably initiated within 6 months after stroke. However, the impact of practice on the learning-dependent and intrinsic spontaneous mechanisms of neuro...
متن کاملRecovery of Upper Limb Function After Cerebellar Stroke
Background and Purpose—Loss of movement coordination is the main postacute symptom after cerebellar infarction. Although the course of motor recovery has been described previously, detailed kinematic descriptions of acute stage ataxia are rare and no attempt has been made to link improvements in motor function to measures of neural recovery and lesion location. This study provides a comprehensi...
متن کاملUnilateral versus bilateral upper limb training after stroke: the Upper Limb Training After Stroke clinical trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unilateral and bilateral training protocols for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke represent conceptually contrasting approaches with the same ultimate goal. In a randomized controlled trial, we compared the merits of modified constraint-induced movement therapy, modified bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing, and a dose-matched conventional treatment. ...
متن کاملUpper Limb Motor Impairment After Stroke.
Understanding poststroke upper limb impairment is essential to planning therapeutic efforts to restore function. However, determining which upper limb impairment to treat and how is complex because the impairments are not static and multiple impairments may be present simultaneously. How impairments contribute to upper limb dysfunction may be understood by examining them from the perspective of...
متن کاملPrognostic value of motor evoked potentials in motor function recovery of upper limb after stroke.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prognostic value of clinical assessment and motor evoked potentials for upper limb strength and functional recovery after acute stroke, and to establish the possible use of motor evoked potentials in rehabilitation. DESIGN A prospective study. SUBJECTS Fifty-two patients with hemiparesis were enrolled one month post-stroke; 38 patients concluded the study at 12 mo...
