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 …

Rationale An improved understanding of motor dysfunction and recovery after stroke has
important clinical implications that may lead to the design of more effective rehabilitation …

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Understanding how people recover from
stroke and other brain lesions remain one of the biggest conundrums in neuroscience. As a …

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 …

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 …

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) may enhance motor recovery after neurological injury
through the causal induction of plasticity processes. Neurological injury, such as stroke …

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 …

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 …

Motor impairments are a major cause of morbidity and disability after stroke. This article
reviews evidence obtained using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that provides new …

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 …
