An at-home brain-computer interface improves upper limb motor function in patients with chronic stroke, suggesting a new avenue for long-term neurorehabilitation.
Stroke stands as a prominent cause of disability globally, impacting millions annually. Among its devastating consequences is the loss of hand function, significantly hindering individuals in their ...
But that good arm can be strengthened. In our newly published research in the journal JAMA Neurology, we found that training the less-impaired arm in people living with chronic stroke can improve ...
When someone has been left paralyzed by a stroke or brain injury, much of their recovery involves physically guiding the affected limb though the lost motion, so their brain can relearn it. A new ...
A new rehabilitation strategy is showing promise helping patients recover lost motor function and independence after suffering strokes. When combined with rehabilitation therapy, the implantable ...
Adding transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) after stroke offered no additional benefit in improving upper extremity function, new research ...
FDA has authorized a breakthrough device for patients 18 and older undergoing stroke rehabilitation to facilitate muscle re-education, and for maintaining or increasing range of motion. The ...
Stroke survivors have improved recovery of hand and arm function with the help a new rehabilitation protocol thanks to finely tuned electrostimulation of target muscles in the arm. It happens that, ...
A phase II, randomized clinical trial found that the optimal period for intensive rehabilitation of arm and hand use after a stroke should begin 60 to 90 days after the event. A phase II, randomized ...
Stroke recovery represents one of the most challenging yet hopeful journeys in medicine. While the brain damage from a stroke cannot be reversed, the remarkable ability of the human brain to rewire ...
