TLDR
Two models for the untested hypothesis that adding SES to unilateral motor practice could magnify the magnitude of inter-limb transfer are proposed and would expand the evolving repertoire of sensory augmentation of cross-education using mirrors and add SES as an alternative to conventional rehabilitation strategies such as constraint-induced movement therapy.About:

Samar Hatem,Samar Hatem,Geoffroy Saussez,Margaux M. della Faille,Vincent Prist,Xue X. Zhang,Delphine Dispa,Delphine Dispa,Yannick Bleyenheuft +8 more
TL;DR: This multiple systematic review focuses both on standard treatment methods and on innovating rehabilitation techniques used to promote upper extremity motor function in stroke patients to achieve the maximal motor function recovery for each patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weak but Critical Links between Primary Somatosensory Centers and Motor Cortex during Movement.
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging study in 21 healthy subjects under three different conditions reveals mechanisms for enhancing motor function with somatosensory stimulation, and suggests that network function cannot be thoroughly understood when weak ties are disregarded.

TL;DR: This study presents the use and perspectives of new developments in tDCS technology, namely high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) which promises to overcome one of the main tDCS limitation (i.e., low focality) and its application for neurological disease, pain relief, and motor learning/rehabilitation.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation-promoted plasticity of the human brain.
TL;DR: The goal of the present narrative review is to describe the means through which NMES may also promote sustained adaptations within central motor pathways, leading ultimately to increases in (intrinsic) functional capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning stretch-induced force loss
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possible contribution of supra-spinal and spinal structures to the force reduction after passive muscle stretch and propose a new hypothesis that a disfacilitation occurring at the motoneuronal level is a major factor affecting the neural efferent drive to the muscle and, subsequently, its ability to produce maximal force.

CORTICAL PLASTICITY: From Synapses to Maps
TL;DR: The goal of the current paper is to review the fields of both synaptic and cortical map plasticity with an emphasis on the work that attempts to unite both fields, to highlight the gaps in the understanding of synaptic and cellular mechanisms underlying cortical representational plasticity.

Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy on upper extremity function 3 to 9 months after stroke: the EXCITE randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as mentioned in this paper showed that a 2-week program of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for patients more than 1 year after stroke who maintain some hand and wrist movement can improve upper extremity function that persists for at least 1 year.
Effect of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Upper Extremity Function 3 to 9 Months After Stroke
TL;DR: The Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) trial as discussed by the authors was designed to compare the effects of a 2-week multisite program of CIMT vs usual andcustomary care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by paired associative stimulation.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the induced plasticity may represent a signature of associative long-term potentiation of cortical synapses or closely related neuronal mechanisms in the human cortex.

Reshaping the cortical motor map by unmasking latent intracortical connections
TL;DR: During pharmacological blockade of cortical inhibition in one part of the MI representation, movements of neighboring representations were evoked by stimulation in adjacent MI areas, suggesting that intracortical connections form a substrate for reorganization of cortical maps and that inhibitory circuits are critically placed to maintain or readjust the form of cortical motor representations.
