Mirror Therapy Enhances Lower-Extremity Motor Recovery and Motor Functioning After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Mirror therapy combined with a conventional stroke rehabilitation program enhances lower-extremity motor recovery and motor functioning in subacute stroke patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Level of participation in robotic-assisted treadmill walking modulates midline sensorimotor EEG rhythms in able-bodied subjects.

TL;DR: It is shown that in central midline areas the mu (8-12 Hz) and beta (18-21 Hz) rhythms are suppressed during active compared to passive walking, and differences depend on the gait cycle phases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treadmill Exercise Activates Subcortical Neural Networks and Improves Walking After Stroke : A Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate the effectiveness of T-EX rehabilitation in promoting gait recovery of stroke survivors with long-term mobility impairment and provide evidence of neuroplastic mechanisms that could lead to further refinements in these paradigms to improve functional outcomes.

Mirror Therapy in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 1 of the Upper Limb in Stroke Patients

TL;DR: The results indicate that mirror therapy effectively reduces pain and enhances upper limb motor function in stroke patients with upper limb CRPSt1.

Gait training with the newly developed 'LokoHelp'-system is feasible for non-ambulatory patients after stroke, spinal cord and brain injury. A feasibility study.

TL;DR: Locomotion training with the newly developed ‘LokoHelp’-system is feasible in severely affected patients after brain injury, stroke and spinal cord injury and the described alternative method of gait training may decrease the exertion needed by therapists to carry out the training.

The functional anatomy of motor recovery after stroke in humans: a study with positron emission tomography.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ipsilateral motor pathways may play a role in the recovery of motor function after ischemic stroke.

A Functional MRI Study of Subjects Recovered From Hemiparetic Stroke

TL;DR: Recovered finger-tapping by stroke subjects activated the same motor regions as controls but to a larger extent, particularly in the unaffected hemisphere, which indicates increased reliance on these motor areas may represent an important component of motor recovery.

Functional reorganization of the brain in recovery from striatocapsular infarction in man

TL;DR: It is shown that bilateral activation of motor pathways and the recruitment of additional sensorimotor areas and of other specific cortical areas are associated with recovery from motor stroke due to striatocapsular infarction.

Cortical Mapping of Gait in Humans: A Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Topography Study

TL;DR: Cortical activation patterns of human gait were visualized by measuring relative changes in local hemoglobin oxygenation using a recently developed near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) topography technique to provide new insight into cortical control of human locomotion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual patterns of functional reorganization in the human cerebral cortex after capsular infarction.

TL;DR: Recovery from motor stroke due to striatocapsular damage is associated with individually different patterns of functional reorganization of the brain, dependent on the site of the subcortical lesion and the somatotopic organization of the pyramidal tract, both of which may determine the precise poetntial for recovery of limb function following this type of brain injury.
