Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

After ischemic stroke, survivors experience motor dysfunction and deterioration of memory
and cognition. These symptoms are associated with the disruption of normal neuronal …

Objective. To evaluate for any clinical effects of home-based mirror therapy and subsequent
cortical reorganization in patients with chronic stroke with moderate upper extremity paresis …

Mobile health tools that enable clinicians and researchers to monitor the type, quantity, and
quality of everyday activities of patients and trial participants have long been needed to …

Over the past two decades, several functional neuroimaging experiments demonstrated
changes in neural activity in stroke patients with motor deficits. Conclusions from single …

The brain is a plastic organ with a capability to reorganize in response to behavior and/or
injury. Following injury to the motor cortex or emergent corticospinal pathways, recovery of …

Background. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of motor impairment after stroke
strongly depends on patient effort and capacity to make a movement. Hence fMRI has had …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions
(" neurotechnologies") exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous …

Objective. To evaluate the concurrent and training effects of action observation (AO) and
action execution with mirror visual feedback (MVF) on the activation of the mirror neuron …

This special interest article provides a historical framework with a contemporary case
example that traces the infusion of the science of motor learning into neurorehabilitation …
