, 2011 Loss of upper-limb function is a problem following stroke. Recent research has led to the emergence of new treatments but progress is hampered by lack of reliable objective measures of impairment, and understanding of the underlying impairment mechanisms

Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2021 Spasticity is one of the most frequent and disabling clinical manifestations of patients with stroke. In clinical practice, stretching is the most widely used physiotherapeutic intervention for this population. However, there is no solid evidence for its

PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Surface electromyography (EMG) is a noninvasive technology that detects voluntary muscle activation and has emerged as a valuable tool for neuromuscular assessment and rehabilitation. By using surface electrodes placed over targeted muscle groups, EMG enables the detection of muscle activity without the discomfort associated with invasive ...

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 ...

The effectiveness of early interventions for post-stroke spasticity: a systematic review
Disability and RehabilitationPurpose To synthesize evidence on the effect of early post-stroke spasticity interventions. Methods Systematic literature search (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) encompassing studies on spasticity reducing interventions within 3 months post stroke on

PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Background Phenol neurolysis and cryoneurolysis are nerve block procedures used to manage localized spasticity through different mechanisms, chemical and cold‐induced nerve blocks, respectively. Both procedures can cause immediate reduction in spasticity. Objective To compare the immediate efficacy of cryoneurolysis versus phenol neurolysis in

Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

ToxinsBotulinum toxin A (BONT/A) injections play a central role in the treatment of upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. We proposed structured stretching exercises to enhance the effect of post-stroke spasticity relief of the upper limbs following BONT/A
