Decoding upper limb residual muscle activity in severe chronic stroke
OBJECTIVE Stroke is a leading cause of long-term motor disability. Stroke patients with severe hand weakness do not profit from rehabilitative treatments. Recently, brain-controlled robotics and sequential functional electrical stimulation allowed some improvement. However, for such therapies to succeed, it is required to decode patients' intentions for different arm movements. Here, we evaluat...
متن کاملCombining Robotic Training and Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Severe Upper Limb-Impaired Chronic Stroke Patients
Previous studies suggested that both robot-assisted rehabilitation and non-invasive brain stimulation can produce a slight improvement in severe chronic stroke patients. It is still unknown whether their combination can produce synergistic and more consistent improvements. Safety and efficacy of this combination has been assessed within a proof-of-principle, double-blinded, semi-randomized, sha...
متن کاملAlterations in upper limb muscle synergy structure in chronic stroke survivors.
Previous studies in neurologically intact subjects have shown that motor coordination can be described by task-dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as a fixed pattern of activation across a set of muscles. Arm function in severely impaired stroke survivors is characterized by stereotypical postural and movement patterns involving the shoulder and elbow. Accordingly, we...

40 Previous studies in neurologically intact subjects have shown that motor coordination can be 41 described by task-dependent combinations of a few muscle synergies, defined here as a fixed 42 pattern of activation across a set of muscles. Arm function in severely impaired stroke survivors 43 is characterized by stereotypical postural and movement patterns involving the shoulder and 44 elbow. ...
متن کاملInfluence of mental practice on upper limb muscle activity and activities of daily living in chronic stroke patients
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mental practice on muscle activity of the upper extremity and performance of daily activities in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] In this research, mental practice was conducted by 2 chronic hemiplegic stroke patients. Mental practice was conducted 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week, for 2 weeks. Evaluation was conduct...
