Brain Plasticity and Upper Limb Function After Stroke: Some Implications for Rehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
degeneration of the corticofugal tracts in chronic stroke: a pilot study relating diffusion tensor imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation and hand function. Cortical activity in relation to the neural contribution to passive movement resistance in the flexor muscles of the hand after stroke. Effects of passive-active movement training on upper limb motor function and cortical activation in chronic patients with stroke-a pilot study.

Effects of Task Related Training and Hand Dominance on Upper Limb Motor Function in Subjects with Stroke
Objetives: Recovery of upper limb motor function in stroke is limited. Different approaches are used to improve the upper limb function, but none has satisfactory results. The present study investigated the effect of task related training and role of hand dominance in upper limb motor function rehabilitation in stroke population. Methods: A convenient sample of 32 subjects divided into 4 gro...

متن کاملUpper Limb Immobilisation: A Neural Plasticity Model with Relevance to Poststroke Motor Rehabilitation
Advances in our understanding of the neural plasticity that occurs after hemiparetic stroke have contributed to the formulation of theories of poststroke motor recovery. These theories, in turn, have underpinned contemporary motor rehabilitation strategies for treating motor deficits after stroke, such as upper limb hemiparesis. However, a relative drawback has been that, in general, these stra...
