A Unifying Pathophysiological Account for Post-stroke Spasticity and Disordered Motor Control

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Cortical and subcortical plastic reorganization occurs in the course of motor recovery after stroke. It is largely accepted that plasticity of ipsilesional motor cortex primarily contributes to recovery of motor function, while the contributions of ...

The Panorama of Cerebral Palsy in Sweden Part XIV Shows Further Decrease in Prevalence and Severity in the Birth‐Years 2015–2018

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 10, Page 2149-2158, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe prevalence, background and gross motor function of cerebral palsy (CP) in western Sweden 2015–2018 and compare to birth‐years 1999–2014. Methods Population‐based study covering 108 963 live births in 2015–2018. Birth characteristics, neuroimaging findings and motor outcome were analysed and prevalence calculated and compared to

The Effect of Repeated Botulinum Toxin A Therapy Combined with Intensive Rehabilitation on Lower Limb Spasticity in Post-Stroke Patients

Toxins, 2018
Objectives: This study is a retrospective investigation of the effects of repetitive botulinum toxin A therapy (BoNT-A) and intensive rehabilitation (IR) on lower limb spasticity in post-stroke patients.

Rosemary metabolite carnosic acid opens Kv1.1 via its voltage sensor and corrects Kv1.1‐linked episodic ataxia in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 20, Page 6179-6198, October 2026.
Background and Purpose Episodic ataxia type 1 (EA1) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused primarily by loss‐of‐function mutations in the voltage‐gated potassium channel Kv1.1 (KCNA1). Small molecules that restore Kv1.1 activity hold promise as targeted therapies for EA1, yet current pharmacological strategies remain limited ...

A literature review on the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin: An injection in post-stroke spasticity

International Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2013
Background: A variety of techniques for the management of spasticity have been suggested, including positioning, cryotherapy, splinting and casting, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and medical management by pharmacological agents, Botulinum toxin A (

Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination for early detection of cerebral palsy in Ethiopia: A feasibility and knowledge translation study

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 1432-1439, October 2026.
The Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) can be successfully implemented in low‐resource tertiary care settings. Paediatric residents facilitated the implementation of HINE. Early detection of cerebral palsy and referral at an average age of 10.6 months in Ethiopia were achieved.

Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity: assessment using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background Motor impairment after stroke interferes with performance of everyday activities. Upper limb spasticity may further disrupt the movement patterns that enable optimal function; however, the specific features of these altered movement patterns ...

Test–retest reliability and minimal detectable change of pulse wave velocity and flow‐mediated dilation in paretic and non‐paretic limbs of older adults post‐stroke

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 20, October 2026.
Abstract Arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are non‐traditional risk markers after stroke, yet reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and flow‐mediated dilation (FMD) have not been established. We examined test–retest reliability and MDC of carotid‐femoral (cfPWV), carotid‐radial (crPWV), and femoral ...
