Functional relevance of ipsilateral motor activation in congenital hemiparesis as tested by fMRI-navigated TMS.
Many, but not all patients with congenital hemiparesis (i.e., hemiparesis due to a pre-, peri- or neonatally acquired brain lesion) control their paretic hands via ipsilateral cortico-spinal projections from the contra-lesional hemisphere (CON-H). Patients who still control their paretic hands via preserved crossed cortico-spinal projections from the damaged hemisphere nevertheless show increas...
متن کاملTwo types of ipsilateral reorganization in congenital hemiparesis: a TMS and fMRI study.
Reorganization after early brain injuries is not only determined by the maturational stage of the CNS at the time of the insult (timing), but also by the structural properties, location and extent of the lesion. This study addresses the impact of different lesion extents on the type of reorganization induced in a cohort of patients with lesions of uniform structure and location (unilateral peri...
متن کاملEvolution of cortical activation during recovery from corticospinal tract infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recovery from hemiparesis due to corticospinal tract infarction is well documented, but the mechanism of recovery is unknown. Functional MRI (fMRI) provides a means of identifying focal brain activity related to movement of a paretic hand. Although prior studies have suggested that supplementary motor regions in the ipsilesional and contralesional hemisphere play a role i...
متن کاملSequencing bilateral and unilateral task-oriented training versus task oriented training alone to improve arm function in individuals with chronic stroke
BACKGROUND Recovering useful hand function after stroke is a major scientific challenge for patients with limited motor recovery. We hypothesized that sequential training beginning with proximal bilateral followed by unilateral task oriented training is superior to time-matched unilateral training alone. Proximal bilateral training could optimally prepare the motor system to respond to the more...
متن کاملNear-infrared spectroscopic topography as a tool to monitor motor reorganization after hemiparetic stroke: a comparison with functional MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Motor functional recovery from stroke can occur, but the mechanisms underlying this restorative process remain to be elucidated. We used near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) topography in comparison with functional MRI (fMRI) to evaluate the compensatory motor activation of cortical regions in patients who recovered from hemiparesis after cortical cerebral infarction. MET...
