This manuscript reports the effects of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS), a technique that
enhances cortical plasticity in healthy humans, on motor function in a patient with chronic …

Purpose: Recent evidence has suggested that a simple technique of noninvasive brain
stimulation–transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)–is associated with a significant …

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 …

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 …

Therapies for motor recovery after stroke or traumatic brain injury are still not satisfactory. To
date the best approach seems to be the intensive physical therapy. However the results are …

Background. Recovery of motor function after stroke may depend on a balance of activity in
the neural network involving the affected and the unaffected motor cortices. Objective. To …

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 …

Background and Purpose—Mechanisms of skill learning are paramount components for
stroke recovery. Recent noninvasive brain stimulation studies demonstrated that decreasing …

Background Motor dysfunction in the lower limbs is a common sequela in stroke patients.
Objective We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine if applying …

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 …
