Modulation of the inter-hemispheric asymmetry of motor-related brain activity using brain-computer interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira, Aleksander Sobolewski

Non-invasive brain stimulation has shown promis- ing results in neurorehabilitation for motor-impaired stroke patients, by rebalancing the relative involvement of each hemisphere in movement generation. Similarly, brain-computer interfaces have been used t ...

Quantitative Kinematic Characterization of Reaching Impairments in Mice After a Stroke

Silvestro Micera

Background and Objective. Kinematic analysis of reaching movements is increasingly used to evaluate upper extremity function after cerebrovascular insults in humans and has also been applied to rodent models. Such analyses can require time-consuming frame- ...

The effect of arm weight support on upper limb muscle synergies during reaching movements

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Compensating for the effect of gravity by providing arm-weight support (WS) is a technique often utilized in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions such as stroke to facilitate the performance of arm movements during therap ...

Effects of early and intensive neuro-rehabilitative treatment on muscle synergies in acute post-stroke patients: a pilot study

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: After a stroke, patients show significant modifications of neural control of movement, such as abnormal muscle co-activation, and reduced selectivity and modulation of muscle activity. Nonetheless, results reported in literature do not allow to ...
