Integrated non‐invasive measurements reveal swallowing and respiration coordination recovery after unilateral stroke

Noninvasive Strategies to Promote Functional Recovery after Stroke

Stroke is a common and disabling global health-care problem, which is the third most common cause of death and one of the main causes of acquired adult disability in many countries. Rehabilitation interventions are a major component of patient care. In the last few years, brain stimulation, mirror therapy, action observation, or mental practice with motor imagery has emerged as interesting opti...

Swallowing disorders after ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE To investigate occurrences of swallowing disorders after ischemic stroke. METHOD This was a retrospective study on 596 medical files. The inclusion criterion was that the patients needed to have been hospitalized with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke; the exclusion criteria were the presence of associated cardiac problems and hospital stay already more than 14 days. RESULTS 50.5% we...

Diverging lesion and connectivity patterns influence early and late swallowing recovery after hemispheric stroke.

Knowledge about the recovery of oral intake after hemispheric stroke is important to guide therapeutic decisions, including the administration of enteral tube feeding and the choice of the appropriate feeding route. They aimed to determine the localization and connectivity of lesions in impaired recovery versus recovered swallowing after initially dysphagic stroke. Sixty-two acute ischemic hemi...
