Virtual reality-induced cortical reorganization and associated locomotor recovery in chronic stroke: an experimenter-blind randomized study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Virtual reality (VR) is a new promising computer-assisted technology to promote motor recovery in stroke patients. VR-induced neuroplasticity supporting locomotor recovery is not known. We investigated the effects of VR intervention on cortical reorganization and associated locomotor recovery in stroke patients. METHODS Ten chronic stroke patients were assigned randomly...
متن کاملMotor recovery and cortical reorganization after constraint-induced movement therapy in stroke patients: a preliminary study.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a physical rehabilitation regime that has been previously shown to improve motor function in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. However, the neural mechanisms supporting rehabilitation-induced motor recovery are poorly understood. The goal of this study was to assess motor cortical reorganization after CIMT using functional magnetic resonance imag...
متن کاملReorganization of remote cortical regions after ischemic brain injury: a potential substrate for stroke recovery.
Although recent neurological research has shed light on the brain's mechanisms of self-repair after stroke, the role that intact tissue plays in recovery is still obscure. To explore these mechanisms further, we used microelectrode stimulation techniques to examine functional remodeling in cerebral cortex after an ischemic infarct in the hand representation of primary motor cortex in five adult...
متن کاملCortical reorganization after stroke: how much and how functional?
The brain has an intrinsic capacity to compensate for structural damage through reorganizing of surviving networks. These processes are fundamental for recovery of function after many forms of brain injury, including stroke. Functional neuroimaging techniques have allowed the investigation of these processes in vivo. Here, we review key advances over the past two decades that have shed light on...
متن کاملTreatment-induced cortical reorganization after stroke in humans.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Injury-induced cortical reorganization is a widely recognized phenomenon. In contrast, there is almost no information on treatment-induced plastic changes in the human brain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate reorganization in the motor cortex of stroke patients that was induced with an efficacious rehabilitation treatment. METHODS We used focal transcranial ...
