Impaired motor and sensory function is common in the upper limb in humans after
cerebrovascular stroke and it often remains as a permanent disability. Functional electrical …

Patients with chronic stroke often show increased flexor hypertonia in their affected upper
limbs. Although an intervention strategy targeting the extensors of the affected upper limb …

OBJECTIVE: Functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation
studies suggest that human cortex shows evidence of neuroplasticity. Preclinical studies in …

In recent years, our understanding of motor learning, neuroplasticity, and functional recovery
after the occurrence of brain lesion has grown significantly. New findings in basic …

Our understanding of motor learning, neuroplasticity, and functional recovery after the
occurrence of brain lesions has increased considerably. New findings in basic neuroscience …

It has been proposed that somatosensory stimulation in the form of electromyographically
triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the peripheral nerve can influence …

Physical exercise can minimize dysfunction and optimize functional motor recovery after
stroke by modulating cortical plasticity. However, the limitation of physical exercise is that …

Background and Purpose—Paresis of the upper extremity after stroke is not effectively
solved by existing therapies. We investigated whether mental imagery training combined …

Studies have confirmed that low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can
decrease the activity of cortical neurons, and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic …

Abstract Treatment-induced plastic changes were investigated in the brains of stroke
patients in the subacute stage of illness. Nine patients participated in 1 week of conventional …
