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

INTRODUCTION: In the recent literature we can find many articles dealing with upper
extremity rehabilitation in stroke patients. New techniques, still under evaluation, are …

Emerging evidence indicates impairments in somatosensory function may be a major
contributor to motor dysfunction associated with neurologic injury or disorders. However, the …

Objective: Motor impairment after stroke has been related to infarct size, infarct location, and
integrity of motor tracts. To determine the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) as a …

Background and Purpose—Previous studies have shown motor impairment after a stroke
relates to lesion size and location, but unexplained variability in recovery still exists. In this …

Cerebral infarction-induced cessation of function in areas of the brain remote from, but
connected to, the primary site of damage was termed “diaschisis” by von Monakow. 1 …

Characterizing demyelination/degeneration of spinal pathways in traumatic spinal cord
injured (SCI) patients is crucial for assessing the prognosis of functional rehabilitation. Novel …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The quantification and clinical significance of WD in CSTs
following supratentorial stroke are not well understood. We evaluated the anisotropy by …

Background and Purpose—Although neuroimaging studies have revealed specific patterns
of reorganization in the sensorimotor control network after stroke, their role in recovery …

Biophysical cues are important additive considerations in smart degradable implants apart
from chemical modification in tissue engineering. Similar with electrical and ultrasonic …
