objectives: stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. hand motor impairment resulting from chronic stroke may have extensive physical, psychological, financial, and social implications despite available rehabilitative treatments. the best time to start treatment for stroke, is in sub-acute period. repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) is a method of stimulating and augme...

Background: Parkinson Disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that affect patients’ functions, especially while performing dual tasks--a critical factor in everyday living. However, many controversies exist about the benefits of dual-task training in patients with PD. Objectives: This study assessed the efficacy of motor and cognitive dual-task training in improving balanc...

and Orgogozo and Larsen4 provide powerful evidence that the supplementary motor areas modulate the motor programming of repetitive and sequential movements, including articulation, rather than attention. Since the supplementary sensory areas seem to have sensory functions analogous to the motor functions of the supplementary motor areas,’ I suspect the supplementary sensory areas have something...

Recent studies have indicated the additional role of cerebellum beyond motor coordination non-motor and socio-cognitive tasks. Exploration of cerebellar roles in timing and plasticity have been attributed specific roles in neurological conditions such as ataxia, severe disorders such as Parkinson’s and epilepsy. Cerebellar dysfunctions elaborate the need of research on cerebellar circuitry and ...
