Quantifying neural and non-neural components of wrist hyper-resistance after stroke
Comparing two instrumented assessment methods
Patients with poor upper limb motor recovery after stroke are likely to develop increased resistance to passive wrist extension, i.e., wrist hyper-resistance. Quantification of the underlying neural and non-neural elastic components is of clinical interest. This cross-sectiona ...
Background: Proprioception is important for regaining motor function in the paretic upper extremity after stroke. However, clinical assessments of proprioception are subjective and require verbal responses from the patient to applied proprioceptive stimuli. Cortical responses ...
Sensor assisted self-management in Parkinson's disease
A feasibility study of ambulatory posture detection and feedback to treat stooped posture
Introduction: A stooped posture is one of the characteristic motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease, and has been linked to impairments in daily activities and quality of life. We aimed to test the efficacy, safety, practical utility and user-friendliness of a pos ...
Effects of unilateral upper limb training in two distinct prognostic groups early after stroke
The EXPLICIT-stroke randomized clinical trial
Background and Objective. Favorable prognosis of the upper limb depends on preservation or return of voluntary finger extension (FE) early after stroke. The present study aimed to determine the effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and electromyograph ...
