Background Physical therapy (PT) is one of the key disciplines in interdisciplinary stroke
rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update of the evidence for …

Background Many survivors of stroke report attentional impairments, such as diminished
concentration and distractibility. However, the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation for …

We investigated whether plasticity of human motor cortex (M1) is influenced by time of day,
and whether changes in circulating levels of cortisol contribute to this effect. Neuroplasticity …

Based on the suboptimal research pathways that finally led to multicenter randomized
clinical trials (MRCTs) of treadmill training with partial body weight support and of robotic …

Background Mechanisms such as neural sensitization and maladaptive cortical organization
provide novel targets for therapy in chronic recurrent low back pain (CLBP). Objective We …

Objective. This review evaluates the underlying training components currently used in task-
oriented training and assesses the effects of these components on skilled arm—hand …

Background and Purpose—Recent work demonstrated that application of peripheral nerve
and cortical stimulation independently can induce modest improvements in motor …

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 …

Objectives (1) To elucidate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
toward improving activities of daily living (ADL) and functional motor ability post stroke and …

Background. Previous works showed potentially beneficial effects of a single session of
peripheral nerve sensory stimulation (PSS) on motor function of a paretic hand in patients …
