Post-activation depression of the lower extremities in stroke patients with spasticity and spastic equinovarus deformity [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2015
This study aimed to investigate changes of post-activation depression in two groups of patients with or without spastic equinovarus deformity (SED). Paired and independent t-tests were used to compare post-activation depression within and between the groups, respectively.

Quantitative Ultrasound to Assess Skeletal Muscles in Post Stroke Spasticity

Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2021
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques such as pixel intensity, ultrasound strain, and shear wave elastography have made it possible to identify the echogenicity (brightness) and mechanical properties (stiffness) of normal and pathological tissues ...

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

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Time related changes of post-stroke spasticity

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018
Introduction/Background Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is one of functional barrier for stroke survivors. There is a need for early identification and understanding of change of PSS over time. Therefore, we want to establish the change of post-stroke spasticity until 12 months from the onset of stroke.
