BACKGROUND: Stroke is one of the main causes of impairment affecting daily activities and quality of life. There is a growing effort to potentiate the recovery of functional gait and to enable stroke patients to walk independently.
This study applied machine learning regression to predict motor function after stroke based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging. Fifty-four stroke patients, who underwent T1 weighted, diffusion tensor, and resting state functional magnetic reson...
BACKGROUND: Wrist-worn accelerometry provides objective monitoring of upper-extremity functional use, such as reaching tasks, but also detects nonfunctional movements, leading to ambiguity in monitoring results.
Stroke lesion volume is a key radiologic measurement in assessing prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The aim of this paper is to develop an automated segmentation method for accurately segmenting follow-up ischemic and hemorrhagic les...

BACKGROUND: Gait dysfunction is common in post-stroke patients as a result of impairment in cerebral gait mechanism. Powered robotic exoskeletons are promising tools to maximize neural recovery by delivering repetitive walking practice.
BACKGROUND: More than two-thirds of stroke patients have arm motor impairments and function deficits on hospital admission, leading to diminished quality of life and reduced social participation. Robot-assisted training (RAT) is a promising rehabilit...
