Brain stimulation techniques provide a powerful means to modulate the function of specific
neural structures, and show potential for future applications in the rehabilitation of stroke …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and the number of stroke survivors continues to rise.
Traditional neurorehabilitation strategies aimed at restoring function to weakened limbs …

Brain plasticity after stroke remains poorly understood. Patients may improve spontaneously
within the first 3 months and then more slowly in the coming year. The first days, decreased …

Stroke is an acute neurovascular central nervous system (CNS) injury and one of the main
causes of long-term disability and mortality. Post-stroke rehabilitation as part of recovery is …

Stroke is a common disorder that produces a major burden to society, largely through long-
lasting motor disability in survivors. Recent studies have broadened our understanding of …

Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. The number of stroke survivors is
increasing in industrialized countries, and despite available treatments used in …

Stroke is the major cause of long-term disability worldwide, with impaired manual dexterity
being a common feature. In the past few years, noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) …

Recovery of motor function after stroke occurs largely on the basis of a sustained capacity of
the adult brain for plastic changes. This brain plasticity has been validated by functional …

Post-stroke recovery is based on plastic changes in the central nervous system that can
compensate the loss of activity in affected brain regions. In particular, monohemispheric …

Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and its prevalence is projected
to increase in the coming years in parallel with the increase of life expectancy. Despite the …
