Immediate effect of ankle exoskeleton on spatiotemporal parameters and center of pressure trajectory after stroke

Silvestro Micera, Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Mouhamed Zorkot

Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pi ...

Longitudinal evaluation of the mechanisms supporting post-stroke motor recovery using TMS-EEG coupling

Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior

Stroke is the main source of long-lasting disability, affecting dominantly motor functions. The extent and course of recovery are highly heterogeneous between patients, with a minority of patients fully recovering from their initial impairments, leaving 85 ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...

Reply to: “1.5 Dissociation” of somatoparaphrenia for the upper limb and neglect for the lower limb following a thalamic stroke presenting as flaccid hemiparesis: rehabilitation applications and neuroscience implications

Olaf Blanke

This interesting case study reports on a patient who subsequent to a right thalamic hematoma developed a left hemiparesis, left extrapersonal and personal hemineglect and somatoparaphrenia, but only for the arm not the leg. It is not specifically mentioned ...

Neurotechnology-aided interventions for upper limb motor rehabilitation in severe chronic stroke

Silvestro Micera, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Martina Coscia

Upper limb motor deficits in severe stroke survivors often remain unresolved over extended time periods. Novel neurotechnologies have the potential to significantly support upper limb motor restoration in severely impaired stroke individuals. Here, we revi ...

Wearable technology in stroke rehabilitation: towards improved diagnosis and treatment of upper-limb motor impairment

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Traian Popa, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Anne-Christine Schmid

Stroke is one of the main causes of long-term disability worldwide, placing a large burden on individuals and society. Rehabilitation after stroke consists of an iterative process involving assessments and specialized training, aspects often constrained by ...

Electromyographic indices of muscle fatigue of a severely paralyzed chronic stroke patient undergoing upper limb motor rehabilitation

Aurélien Patrick Maryse Maillot

Modern approaches to motor rehabilitation of severe upper limb paralysis in chronic stroke decode movements from electromyography for controlling rehabilitation orthoses. Muscle fatigue is a phenomenon that influences these neurophysiological signals and m ...

Restoring Motor Functions After Stroke: Multiple Approaches and Opportunities

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin

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 quality of life. Therefore, interventions to address upper-limb impair ...

Evaluating upper limb impairments in multiple sclerosis by exposure to different mechanical environments

Martina Coscia

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease affecting multiple functional systems and resulting in motor impairments associated with muscle weakness and lack of movement coordination. We quantified upper limb motor deficits wi ...

Advantages of soft subdural implants for the delivery of electrochemical neuromodulation therapies to the spinal cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Marco Capogrosso, Pavel Musienko, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Jérôme Gandar, Nathan Antoine Greiner

Objective. We recently developed soft neural interfaces enabling the delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord. These stimulations restored locomotion in animal models of paralysis. Soft interfaces can be placed either below or abo ...

Brain-computer interfaces for post-stroke motor rehabilitation: a meta-analysis

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Gangadhar Garipelli

Brain‐computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide sensory feedback of ongoing brain oscillations, enabling stroke survivors to modulate their sensorimotor rhythms purposefully. A number of recent clinical studies indicate that repeated use of such BCIs might tr ...

Electrically Assisted Movement Therapy in Chronic Stroke Patients With Severe Upper Limb Paresis: A Pilot, Single-Blind, Randomized Crossover Study

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvio Ionta, Stephanie Clarke, Andrea Biasiucci, Andrea Maesani

Objective To evaluate the effects of electrically assisted movement therapy (EAMT) in which patients use functional electrical stimulation, modulated by a custom device controlled through the patient's unaffected hand, to produce or assist task-specific up ...

Increasing upper limb training intensity in chronic stroke using embodied virtual reality: a pilot study

Olaf Blanke, José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Andrea Serino, Gangadhar Garipelli, Thomas Schmidlin, Odile Hélène Chevalley

Background: Technology-mediated neurorehabilitation is suggested to enhance training intensity and therefore functional gains. Here, we used a novel virtual reality (VR) system for task-specific upper extremity training after stroke. The system offers inte ...

Measuring upper limb function in children with hemiparesis with 3D inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc, Farzin Dadashi, Fabien Massé

Upper limb assessments in children with hemiparesis rely on clinical measurements, which despite standardization are prone to error. Recently, 3D movement analysis using optoelectronic setups has been used to measure upper limb movement, but generalization ...

Cortico-reticulo-spinal circuits mediate functional recovery after spinal cord contusion

Léonie Asboth

After a spinal cord injury (SCI), only half of affected individuals regain voluntary control of leg movements below the level of the lesion. Anatomical, electrophysiological and imaging data revealed that even the most severe forms of SCI usually spare a s ...
