Collateral circulation plays a vital role in sustaining blood flow to the ischaemic areas in
acute, subacute or chronic phases after an ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack …

Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have impaired vasomotor reactivity,
especially in the affected cerebral hemisphere, such that they may depend directly on …

Background and Purpose—A primary goal of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management is to
maximize perfusion in the affected region and surrounding ischemic penumbra. However …

Objective To investigate (a) the applicability of the proportional recovery rule of spontaneous
neurobiological recovery to motor function of the paretic lower extremity (LE); and (b) the …

Methods We performed a literature review of the current evidence in the prehospital
treatment of a patient with a suspected stroke and augmented this review with guidelines …

Background: The effect of early mobilization after acute stroke is still unclear, although some
studies have suggested improvement in outcomes. We conducted a randomized, single …

Background and aims Previously, microvascular cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to a
mild head-of-bed (HOB) elevation has been shown to be altered in acute ischemic stroke …

Background Positioning a patient lying-flat in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke may
improve recovery and reduce disability, but such a possibility has not been formally tested in …

Background Collateral therapeutics exert a promising protective effect on the outcome of
acute ischemic stroke. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) may be modulated by different head …

The effects of upright postures on the cerebral circulation early post-ischemic stroke are not
fully understood. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the …
