Combined peripheral nerve and brain stimulation (“dual stimulation”) induces changes in
the excitability of normal motor cortex. The authors sought to establish whether dual …

Impaired motor and sensory function is common in the upper limb in humans after
cerebrovascular stroke and it often remains as a permanent disability. Functional electrical …

Stroke is a leading cause of adult motor disability. Despite recent progress, recovery of
motor function after stroke is usually incomplete. This double blind, Sham-controlled …

The authors show that in the human transcranial direct current stimulation is able to induce
sustained cortical excitability elevations. As revealed by transcranial magnetic stimulation …

The mechanisms of rehabilitation-induced plasticity in the motor system after stroke are not
defined. The authors studied seven patients with residual poststroke agraphia, aphasia, and …

Objective: Motor recovery after stroke depends on the integrity of ipsilesional motor circuits
and interactions between the ipsilesional and contralesional hemispheres. In this sham …

Many central nervous system conditions that cause weakness, including many strokes,
injure corticospinal tract but leave motor cortex intact. Little is known about the functional …

Abstract Treatment-induced plastic changes were investigated in the brains of stroke
patients in the subacute stage of illness. Nine patients participated in 1 week of conventional …

OBJECTIVE: Functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation
studies suggest that human cortex shows evidence of neuroplasticity. Preclinical studies in …

Background. Reorganization of the human motor cortex can be induced by specific patterns
of peripheral afferent stimulation. The potential for afferent stimulation to facilitate the …
