Blood Flow Restriction Training in Stroke Rehabilitation: A Narrative Review of Current Evidence and Future Directions

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐stroke motor deficits cause disability, while paresis and comorbidities may limit high‐intensity training. Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) combines low‐intensity exercise with partial vascular occlusion and may promote neuromuscular adaptations at low loads.

Is Dry Needling Effective for the Management of Spasticity and Pain in Post-Stroke Patients? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

, 2020
Stroke is one of the major causes of permanent disability in the modern society with 13.7 million of new stroke cases worldwide each year. The general incidence of stroke has been estimated to range from 76 to 119 per 100,000 subjects per year.

Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Upper Extremity Spasticity Post-Stroke: A Systematic Review

, 2021
Upper extremity spasticity is one of the most popular impairments following stroke. It can reduce patients' functional level. Recently, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a promising tool in stroke rehabilitation.

Development of a patient-centered questionnaire for post-stroke spasticity assessment: a reliability study

, 2018
In the emerging scenario of patient-centered medicine, it is becoming increasingly important to involve patients in the management of chronic diseases. The rehabilitation field currently has no assessment tool for evaluating the functional impact of post-

KAPS (kinematic assessment of passive stretch): a tool to assess elbow flexor and extensor spasticity after stroke using a robotic exoskeleton

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2017
Background Spasticity is a common sequela of stroke. Traditional assessment methods include relatively coarse scales that may not capture all characteristics of elevated muscle tone.

Effects of Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined With Usual Physiotherapy on Hand Pain and Function in Stroke: Protocol for a Double‐Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability, often causing upper extremity paralysis that limits daily activities. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been shown to promote motor recovery by activating affected muscles, but its effectiveness when combined rigorously with usual physiotherapy treatment (UPT ...

Iron and Other Metal Ions in Human Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Iron, copper, zinc, and calcium orchestrate cellular function through distinct yet cooperative mechanisms: redox‐active iron and copper cycle between oxidation states to act as Fenton catalysts and electron carriers in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS); redox‐inert zinc serves as a structural component of zinc‐finger proteins and a catalytic cofactor ...

Therapeutic intervention strategies in frontotemporal dementia: drug development pipeline

Alzheimer's &Dementia: Translational Research &Clinical Interventions, Volume 12, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
Abstract Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early‐onset dementia after Alzheimer's disease, characterized by substantial genetic, clinical, and pathological heterogeneity. Despite progress in understanding its pathophysiology, no disease‐targeted therapies (DTTs) have been approved to date.

Surgical reconstruction for spasticity and contracture: An underutilised rehabilitative strategy of adult stroke

JRSM Open
Summary Post-stroke spasticity and contracture remain prevalent and pose significant challenges in stroke rehabilitation. While non-surgical management is the mainstay, surgical reconstruction offers a valuable adjunct when conservative measures are ...

Changes in Spatiotemporal Variability of Muscular Response Under the Influence of Post-Stroke Spasticity

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering
Spasticity is characterized by involuntary muscle activation due to the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex. However, the temporal pattern and spatial heterogeneity of motor unit recruitment in this activation are not fully understood.
