TLDR
Bihemispheric tDCS may achieve the training-induced recovery of motor functions and foster greater functional recovery and CIMT alone appears effective in modulating local excitability but not in removing the imbalance in transcallosal inhibition.Abstract:
Background. Recovery of motor function after stroke may depend on a balance of activity in the neural network involving the affected and the unaffected motor cortices. Objective. To assess whether ...read more

Lang,Marilyn MacKay-Lyons,Kenneth J. Ottenbacher,Sue Pugh,Mathew J. Reeves,Lorie Richards,William Stiers,Richard D. Zorowitz +17 more
TL;DR: This guideline provides a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke to reduce the risk of downstream medical morbidity resulting from immobility, depression, loss of autonomy, and reduced functional independence.

Modulation of brain plasticity in stroke: a novel model for neurorehabilitation
Giovanni Di Pino,Giovanni Pellegrino,Giovanni Assenza,Fioravante Capone,Florinda Ferreri,Domenico Formica,Federico Ranieri,Mario Tombini,Ulf Ziemann,John C. Rothwell,Vincenzo Di Lazzaro +10 more
TL;DR: A bimodal balance–recovery model is suggested that links interhemispheric balancing and functional recovery to the structural reserve spared by the lesion, which could enable NIBS to be tailored to the needs of individual patients.

Getting neurorehabilitation right: what can be learned from animal models?
TL;DR: Translation from animal models will require substantial increases in the intensity and dosage of treatments offered in the first month after stroke with an emphasis on impairment and combinational approaches such as noninvasive brain stimulation with robotics, based on current understanding of motor learning and brain plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
tDCS-enhanced motor and cognitive function in neurological diseases.
TL;DR: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation tool that is now being widely used in neuroscientific and clinical research in humans as mentioned in this paper.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
Marshal F. Folstein,Marshal F. Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Paul R. McHugh,Paul R. McHugh +5 more
TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

An inventory for measuring depression
TL;DR: The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.

Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the Mathematical Basis for Multiple Regression/Correlation and Identification of the Inverse Matrix Elements is presented. But it does not address the problem of missing data.
