Neurological disorders are a major cause of chronic disability globally among which stroke
is a leading cause of chronic disability. The advances in the medical management of stroke …

Interventions that facilitate neural plasticity and reorganization may accelerate recovery of
motor function during the spontaneous recovery period, without affecting final outcome. This …

There is a lack of consistency among researchers and clinicians in the use of terminology
that describes changes in motor ability following neurological injury. Specifically, the terms …

Motor recovery after stroke is related to neural plasticity, which involves developing new
neuronal interconnections, acquiring new functions, and compensating for impairment …

Ward NS. The neural substrates of motor recovery after focal damage to the central nervous
system. OBJECTIVE: To discuss how reorganization of the surviving central nervous system …

Among the therapeutic strategies under study to improve long-term outcome after stroke are
drugs targeting events that underlie recovery. Drugs that enhance recovery are separate …

This review intends to begin to build a bridge between our understanding of the effect of
motor rehabilitation and brain plasticity on recovery after hemiparetic stroke. It discusses the …

More than 1.5 million people suffer a stroke in Europe per year and more than 70% of stroke
survivors experience limited functional recovery of their upper limb, resulting in diminished …

Background—The precise mechanisms of and biological basis for motor recovery after
stroke in adults are still largely unknown. Reorganization of the motor system after stroke as …

Background. Disruption of the automaticity of movement execution is commonly experienced
