this paper reviews the current literature examining the pervasive symptom of fatigue experienced in three of the most common degenerative neurological conditions: multiple sclerosis (ms), parkinson’s disease (pd) and post-polio syndrome (pps). the existing literature can be considered under four headings definition and prevalence, type, cause, impact of fatigue. fatigue is a common symptom in d...

Basic science studies demonstrated mechanisms of plasticity and metaplasticity. More recent human studies identified some of these mechanisms as operating in multiple areas of human cognition, such as learning and memory, and in functional recovery from lesions in the CNS, as in stroke. One of the goals of neurorehabilitation is the translation of these principles into rational strategies to pr...

In some fields, Big Data has been instrumental in analyzing, predicting, and influencing human behavior. However, Big Data approaches have so far been less central in speech-language pathology. This article introduces the concept of Big Data and provides examples of Big Data initiatives pertaining to adult neurorehabilitation. It also discusses the potential theoretical and clinical contributio...

The potential clinical and financial advantages of providing neurorehabilitation directly in patients' homes and communities have recently been discussed. However, the specific characteristics and outcomes of a coordinated, interdisciplinary, home-based programme does not currently exist in the rehabilitation literature. The present paper presents patient demographics, type and intensity of ser...
