Objectives: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a popular rehabilitative modality
to improve motor function of the extremities and trunk. In this study, we investigated changes …

Key points Pairing stimulation of a finger flexor or extensor muscle at the motor point with
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex generated plastic changes in …

Background: Stroke may disrupt a patient's motor function, consequently affecting the quality
of life. A stroke surviving brain has the ability to repair itself through neuroplasticity …

The corticospinal tract (CST) is the most important motor tract in the human brain. The
authors compared CST fibers of the fingers and toes using diffusion tensor imaging. Eleven …

Spasticity is a common symptom in stroke survivors. This study is double-blinded, sham-
controlled randomized, clinical trial with three parallel arms. The aim of the study was to …

Background: Trans-spinal electrical stimulation (tsES) to the intact spinal cord poststroke
may modulate the cortico-muscular control in stroke survivors with diverse lesions in the …

Background Motor outcome after stroke is associated with reorganisation of cortical
networks and corticospinal tract (CST) integrity. However, the relationships between motor …

Background: Contralaterally controlled functional electrical stimulation (CCFES) is an
innovative method to improve upper extremity functions after stroke. Objective: To compare …

The diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) allows the corticospinal tract (CST) to be visualized
at the subcortical level and functional MRI (fMRI) is capable of precisely identifying activation …

Objective: To observe the efficacy of combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
and functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy on the upper limb function of chronic …
