Disability, Functional Recovery, and Prognosis

2016
Degree of disability and prospect of functional recovery are the most important matters of concern for patients with neurological disorders. After completing the neurologic examination, it is important to consider the severity of disability, although detailed scoring of each activity of daily living can be assessed later. Disability can be evaluated in

Pathways mediating functional recovery

2015
Following damage to the motor system (e.g., after stroke or spinal cord injury), recovery of upper limb function exploits the multiple pathways which allow motor commands to be sent to the spinal cord. Corticospinal fibers originate from premotor as well as primary motor cortex.

Kinematic analysis of limb movements in neuropsychological research: subtle deficits and recovery of function.

Canadian journal of psychology, 1990
In this brief review, we argue that a detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of visually guided limb movements can provide important insights into the nature of neuropsychological deficits and the functional organization of the ...

Rescuing neurons from trans-synaptic degeneration after brain damage: helpful, harmful, or neutral in recovery of function?

Canadian journal of psychology, 1990
Certain instances of neuronal degeneration secondary to brain damage might be functionally beneficial, and steps taken to protect against such degeneration may adversely affect behavioural outcome.

Cholinergic neurons, learning, and recovery of function.

Behavioral Neuroscience, 1987
Two experiments were designed to examine the role of the cholinergic septo-hippocampal projection in spatial and nonspatial learning processes. In Experiment 1 the interaction of individual learning strategies and recovery of function was investigated ...

Neural plasticity and recovery of function

2005
Recovery of the function after stroke is a consequence of many factors including resolution of oedema and survival of the ischaemic penumbra. In addition there is a growing interest in the role of central nervous system (CNS) reorganization. Much of the evidence supporting this comes from animal models of focal brain injury, but non-invasive techniques

Robotics for Functional Recovery in Stroke

2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005
Multiple robotic systems are under development for training of both upper and lower extremity function in neurologically impaired subjects with spinal cord injury or stroke, yet we currently lack the framework for designing and evaluating mechanical devices and approaches for treatment of such disorders.

Behavioral Recovery of Functional Responses

2002
Studies in rats have shown that unilateral destruction of the nigrostriatal pathway by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) results in a spontaneous rotational bias to the side ipsilateral to the lesion.’ With time, spontaneous rotational behavior subsides, but it can still be induced pharmacologically; amphetamine, an agent that releases dopamine (DA) from ...

Recovery of Myocardial Function in the Hibernating Heart

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1992
Impaired contractile performance at rest is not necessarily due to irreversible tissue damage but may relate to the "hibernating" myocardium. Hibernating myocardium has been defined as potentially reversible, chronic contractile dysfunction during prolonged, painless ischemia.
