Video_3_Soft Rehabilitation Actuator With Integrated Post-stroke Finger Spasticity Evaluation.MP4

, 2020
Strokes cause severe impairment of hand function because of the spasticity in the affected upper extremities. Proper spasticity evaluation is critical to facilitate neural plasticity for rehabilitation after stroke.

Effectiveness of Early Botulinum Toxin Injections on Upper Limb Spasticity versus after 6 months post stroke

Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
Background Stroke is nominated as the third-leading cause of disability across the world. Spasticity may evolve early in the post-stroke period, with the majority of stroke survivors experiencing hand impairment that greatly affects their global function.

Short-term reduction of ankle spasticity after surgical lengthening of the triceps surae in chronic post-stroke patients: a retrospective cohort study

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionIn post-stroke patients with equinovarus foot deformity (EVFD), soft tissue rearrangements may contribute to muscle overactivity when a muscle is stretched or tension is applied.

Dry needling at myofascial trigger points mitigates chronic post-stroke shoulder spasticity

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
Post-stroke spasticity is associated with restriction in the range of motion of the shoulder. Reducing muscular dystrophy may help relieve muscular dysfunction in patients with post-stroke shoulder spasticity.

Short-Step Adjustment and Proximal Compensatory Strategies Adopted by Stroke Survivors With Knee Extensor Spasticity for Obstacle Crossing

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Stroke survivors adopt cautious or compensatory strategies for safe and successful obstacle crossing. Although knee extensor spasticity is a common independent secondary sensorimotor disorder post-stroke, few studies have examined the step adjustment and

Cannabinoid exposure during pregnancy: Cardiorespiratory effects and offspring outcomes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to cannabinoids has been investigated across human and animal studies to understand its impact on physiological development. Evidence suggests that early‐life cannabinoid exposure influence multiple developmental processes, extending beyond neurodevelopmental outcomes to potentially affect placental function ...

Translation of evidence-based Assistive Technologies into stroke rehabilitation: Users' perceptions of the barriers and opportunities [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Assistive Technologies (ATs), defined as "electrical or mechanical devices designed to help people recover movement", demonstrate clinical benefits in upper limb stroke rehabilitation; however translation into clinical practice is poor ...

Unravelling the Significance of Cystatin C and Bunina Bodies in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Pathogenesis

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is a fatal neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting motor neurons. Two key protein inclusions found in lower motor neurons serve as neuropathological hallmarks of the disease in human tissue: the TDP43‐positive inclusion and the cystatin C‐positive Bunina body.

The Onset and Frequency of Spasticity After First Ever Stroke

, 2018
Spasticity is one of the most important causes of disability after stroke. In spite of high incidence of spasticity, little is known about the relationship between the occurrence and the development of spasticity.
