Stroke is one of the leading causes for disability worldwide. Motor function deficits due to
stroke affect the patients' mobility, their limitation in daily life activities, their participation in …

Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke
and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and …

The past 20 years have represented an important period in the development of principles
underlying neuroplasticity, especially as they apply to recovery from neurological injury. It is …

Reductions in blood flow to the brain of sufficient duration and extent lead to stroke, which
results in damage to neuronal networks and the impairment of sensation, movement or …

With increasing rates of survival throughout the past several years, stroke remains one of the
leading causes of adult disability. Following the onset of stroke, spontaneous mechanisms of …

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to
neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in …

In patients with chronic stroke, the primary motor cortex of the intact hemisphere (M1intact
hemisphere) may influence functional recovery, possibly through transcallosal effects …

Recent advances in analysis of brain signals, training patients to control these signals, and
improved computing capabilities have enabled people with severe motor disabilities to use …

There is a lack of consistency among researchers and clinicians in the use of terminology
that describes changes in motor ability following neurological injury. Specifically, the terms …
