New treatments aid recovery from strokeMarilyn Olson
After a one-week recovery from implantation, the stroke survivor continues in-clinic physical therapy. During physical therapy, a therapist will use a wireless transmitter to signal the implanted device to deliver a gentle electric pulse to the vagus nerve while the patient performs tasks such as ...
Researchers with Neuroscience Research Australia and their colleagues have identified a remarkable new of improving recovery after stroke. The team found that some stroke patients have a distorted or "scrambled" representation map of their hand. When a patient is touched in one location on the hand,...
The ability to relearn a lost skill is critical to motor recovery after a stroke. Previous studies indicate that stroke typically affects the processes underlying motor control and execution but not the learning of those skills. However, these studies co
Potential topics, related to stroke rehabilitation, include, but are not limited to: Robotic and/or electromechanical devices for gait recovery Robotic and/or electromechanical devices for improving upper limb functional recovery Electrical stimulations (transcranial direct current stimulation, transcranial ...

Eating food from only the right side of the plate, shaving or applying make-up to only one side of the face, and running into objects on the left are common traits post stroke and for some survivors current therapies aren't working.
which could be related to the upregulation of some functional proteins in the derived exosomes [111,112]. Excitingly, MSC-derived exosomes enhanced motor function recovery in a stroke model in primates [113]. These derived exosomes not only act by reducing neuroinflammation and shifting of the mi...
Genome-wide association studies of stroke have revealed a polygenomic pathology in which contributions from individual genes are highly variable. This variability appears to be due at least in part to contributions from epigenetic mechanisms that fall into three main categories. The first includes mecha...
aInsofar as newborn neurons and vascular components can be activated during stroke recovery, the multiple stimuli involved remain to be fully elucidated. 在冲程补救期间,只要新出生神经元和血管组分可以被激活,介入的多刺激留待去充分地阐明。[translate]...
