International Journal of Gerontology, 2018 Summary: Background: Human hand functions are affected by neurological disturbances. We hypothesized that the degree of somatosensory impairments after stroke may be related to the severity of motor paralysis.

Development of a single device to quantify motor impairments of the elbow: proof of concept
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 Background For patients with post-stroke upper limb impairments, the currently available clinical measurement instruments are inadequate for reliable quantification of multiple impairments, such as muscle weakness, abnormal synergy, changes in elastic ...

Functional network connectivity is altered in patients with upper limb somatosensory impairments in the acute phase post stroke: A cross-sectional study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:Aberrant functional connectivity in brain networks associated with motor impairment after stroke is well described, but little is known about the association with somatosensory impairments.

Movement Impairments May Not Preclude Visuomotor Adaptation After Stroke
Brain SciencesPurpose: Many individuals with stroke partake in rehabilitation to improve their movements. Rehabilitation operates on the assumption that individuals with stroke can use visual feedback from their movements or visual cues from a therapist to improve ...

The independence of impairments in proprioception and visuomotor adaptation after stroke
Journal of NeuroEngineering and RehabilitationBackground Proprioceptive impairments are common after stroke and are associated with worse motor recovery and poor rehabilitation outcomes. Motor learning may also be an important factor in motor recovery, and some evidence in healthy adults suggests ...

Cerebral Perfusion in Chronic Stroke: Implications for Lesion-Symptom Mapping and Functional MRI
Behavioural Neurology, 2011 Lesion-symptom mapping studies are based upon the assumption that behavioral impairments are directly related to structural brain damage. Given what is known about the relationship between perfusion deficits and impairment in acute stroke, attributing ...

Localization of impaired kinesthetic processing post-stroke
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Kinesthesia is our sense of limb motion, and allows us to gauge the speed, direction, and amplitude of our movements. Over half of stroke survivors have significant impairments in kinesthesia, which leads to greatly reduced recovery and function in ...

Associations between post-stroke motor and cognitive function: a cross-sectional study
BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Background Motor and cognitive impairments are frequently observed following stroke, but are often managed as distinct entities, and there is little evidence regarding how they are related.

Optimizing Stroke Detection Using Evidential Networks and Uncertainty-Based Refinement
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringEvaluating neurological impairments post-stroke is essential for assessing treatment efficacy and managing subsequent disabilities. Conventional clinical assessment methods depend largely on clinicians’ visual and physical evaluations, resulting ...

Testing Conclusions From Functional Imaging of Working Memory with Data From Acute Stroke
Behavioural Neurology, 2007 Functional imaging studies indicate that the left hemisphere mediates verbal working memory, while the right hemisphere mediates both verbal and spatial working memory.
