Predicting upper limb motor recovery in subacute stroke patients via fNIRS-measured cerebral functional responses induced by robotic training.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neural activation induced by upper extremity robot-assisted training (UE-RAT) helps characterize adaptive changes in the brains of poststroke patients, revealing differences in recovery potential among patients. However, it remains unclea...

A clinical practical model for preoperative prediction of visual outcome for pituitary adenoma patients in a retrospective and prospective study.

Frontiers in endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: Preoperative prediction of visual recovery after pituitary adenoma resection surgery remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the value of clinical and radiological features in preoperatively predicting visual outcomes after su...

Advancing personalised care in atrial fibrillation and stroke: The potential impact of AI from prevention to rehabilitation.

Trends in cardiovascular medicine
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex condition caused by various underlying pathophysiological disorders and is the most common heart arrhythmia worldwide, affecting 2 % of the European population. This prevalence increases with age, imposing signif...

Effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot on balance and gait recovery and neuroplasticity in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Impaired balance and gait in stroke survivors are associated with decreased functional independence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton robot-assisted overground gait training compared with...

Editorial Commentary: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Patients Must Be Provided With Both Motivation and Tools to Continue Physical Therapy, Supervised or Independently, Beyond the Early Recovery Phase.

Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association
Given the current American health insurance environment, many patients do not access physical therapy in the mid and later stages of recovery from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This trend is well established in the literature and s...

An ANN models cortical-subcortical interaction during post-stroke recovery of finger dexterity.

Journal of neural engineering
Finger dexterity, and finger individuation in particular, is crucial for human movement, and disruptions due to brain injury can significantly impact quality of life. Understanding the neurological mechanisms responsible for recovery is vital for eff...

Effects of end-effector robotic arm reach training with functional electrical stimulation for chronic stroke survivors.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Upper-extremity dysfunction significantly affects dependence in the daily lives of stroke survivors, limiting their participation in the social environment and reducing their quality of life.

Restoring of Interhemispheric Symmetry in Patients With Stroke Following Bilateral or Unilateral Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Bilateral robotic rehabilitation has proven helpful in the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with stroke, but its effects on the cortical reorganization mechanisms underlying recovery are still unclear. This pilot Randomized Controlle...

Effects of high-definition tDCS targeting individual motor hotspot with EMG-driven robotic hand training on upper extremity motor function: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the inte...
