Journal ArticleDOI
White Matter Degeneration after Ischemic Stroke: A Longitudinal Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study.
Milanka M. Visser,Nawaf Yassi,Nawaf Yassi,Bruce C.V. Campbell,Bruce C.V. Campbell,Patricia Desmond,Stephen M. Davis,Neil J. Spratt,Mark W Parsons,Mark W Parsons,Mark W Parsons,Andrew Bivard,Andrew Bivard,Andrew Bivard +13 more
TL;DR: It is unclear whether white matter degeneration occurs throughout the whole brain, or whether patterns of degeneration occur more in specific brain areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Modafinil-Treatment Response in Poststroke Fatigue Using Brain Morphometry and Functional Connectivity.
Milanka M. Visser,Bénédicte Maréchal,Peter Goodin,Thomas Lillicrap,Carlos Garcia-Esperon,Neil J. Spratt,Mark W Parsons,Mark W Parsons,Christopher R Levi,Andrew Bivard,Andrew Bivard +10 more
TL;DR: Fatigue in other neurological disease has been attributed to altered function of the fronto-striato-thalamic network and may indicate that poststroke fatigue has a similar mechanism to other neurological injury related fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modafinil treatment modulates functional connectivity in stroke survivors with severe fatigue
Milanka M. Visser,Peter Goodin,Mark W Parsons,Mark W Parsons,Thomas Lillicrap,Neil J. Spratt,Neil J. Spratt,Christopher R Levi,Andrew Bivard,Andrew Bivard +9 more
TL;DR: Modulation of rsFC may relate to a reduction of post-stroke fatigue; however, the relationship between sensory processing, neurotransmitter expression and fatigue requires further exploration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions combined with task-specific training to improve upper limb motor recovery following stroke: a systematic review with meta-analyses
TL;DR: To date, there is little evidence that adding another intervention to TST confers additional benefits and therefore there is no evidence to guide rehabilitation professionals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic exercise prior to task-specific training to improve poststroke motor function: A case series.
TL;DR: Combining aerobic exercise with task-specific training may be a worthwhile therapeutic approach to improve upper limb motor function suitable for persons in the subacute or chronic phase after stroke.
