Background Establishing which upper limb outcome measures are most commonly used in
stroke studies may help in improving consensus among scientists and clinicians. Objective …

Stroke, resulting from limited blood flow to the brain, is one of the most important causes of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stroke is classified as ischemic, due to lack of blood flow …

Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate cortical
excitability, and may be beneficial for motor recovery after stroke. However, the …

Background Significant clinician training is required to mitigate the subjective nature and
achieve useful reliability between measurement occasions and therapists. Previous …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions
(" neurotechnologies") exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous …

Objective. To evaluate the concurrent and training effects of action observation (AO) and
action execution with mirror visual feedback (MVF) on the activation of the mirror neuron …

Background Motor imagery training (MIT) has been widely used to improve hemiplegic
upper limb function in stroke rehabilitation. The effectiveness of MIT is associated with the …

Objective. To investigate the functional reorganization of the motor network after repetitive
transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in stroke patients with motor dysfunction and the …

Since early days after stroke, the brain undergoes a complex reorganization to allow
compensatory mechanisms that promote functional recovery. However, these mechanisms …

Stroke has a high incidence and disability rate, and rehabilitation is an effective means to
reduce the disability rate of patients. To systematize rehabilitation assessment, which is the …
