Foreword This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical
problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of …

Rehabilitation after hemiplegic stroke has typically relied on the training of patients in
compensatory strategies. The translation of neuroscientific research into care has led to new …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been widely adopted to elicit muscle contraction
in rehabilitation training after spinal cord injury (SCI). Conventional FES modalities include …

Background Clinical studies have shown that sensory input improves motor function when
added to active training after neurological injuries in the spinal cord. Objective We aimed to …

Celnik P, Hummel F, Harris-Love M, Wolk R, Cohen LG. Somatosensory stimulation
enhances the effects of training functional hand tasks in patients with chronic stroke …

OBJECTIVE: Functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation
studies suggest that human cortex shows evidence of neuroplasticity. Preclinical studies in …

Recent studies have provided evidence of the widespread incidence of sensory dysfunction
following stroke. The importance of these findings lies in the association between sensory …

Objective Acupuncture is widely applied for treatment of various neurological disorders. This
manuscript will review the preclinical evidence of acupuncture in mediating neural plasticity …

The adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is capable of considerable plasticity,
both in health and disease. After spinal neurotrauma, the degrees and extent of …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether transcutaneous electrical stimulation, when applied to
acupuncture points in patients after acute stroke, decreases spasticity and/or increases …
