The Mirror Illusion Increases Motor Cortex Excitability in Children With and Without Hemiparesis [PDF]

, 2017
Background Mirror therapy provides a visual illusion of a normal moving limb by using the mirror reflection of the unaffected arm instead of viewing the paretic limb and is used in rehabilitation to improve hand function.

Effect of Combined Visual Biofeedback and Metronome on Gait Reciprocity in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study

Bioengineering
Background. Visual biofeedback (BF) and rhythmic metronome stimulation (RMS) are used for correction of stroke gait. To determine the feasibility of improving gait reciprocity using BF technology combined with RMS. Methods.

Impaired Microvascular Reactivity to Passive Limb Movement After Stroke Is Improved by a Single Session of Ischemic Conditioning

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Microvascular dysfunction post stroke remains insufficiently investigated and may contribute to impairments in physical function. Single passive limb movement (sPLM) provides a clinically relevant assessment of microvascular vasodilation.

Left-right asymmetry of biophoton emission from hemiparesis patients

, 2003
Left-right biophoton asymmetry from the palm and the dorsum of hands from 7 Korean hemiparesis patients were studied. There is a strong tendency that the left-hemiparesis patients emit more biophotons from the right than the left hands, while the right ...

Sensory ataxic hemiparesis in thalamic hemorrhage.

, 1990
Ataxic hemiparesis with cerebellar-like features has been reported following infarction or hemorrhage of the thalamus. We describe five patients with incoordination and corticospinal tract signs in the limbs opposite a dorsolateral thalamic hemorrhage ...

Diffusion Tensor MR Imaging Tractography of the Pyramidal Tracts and Corpus Callosum in Children with Right-Sided Congenital Hemiparesis

, 2010
This study used diffusion tensor tractography to evaluate the diffusion parametersof the corpsus callosum and asymmetry in the diffusion parameters of the corticospinal tracts inchildren with congenital hemiparesis. Precision moving critically correlates
