INTRODUCTION: Being able to predict functional outcomes after a stroke is highly desirable for clinicians. This allows clinicians to set reasonable goals with patients and relatives, and to reach shared after-care decisions for recovery or rehabilita...
Background Identifying the presence and extent of infarcted brain tissue at baseline plays a crucial role in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Patients with extensive infarction are unlikely to benefit from thrombolysis or t...
Background and Purpose- We aimed to investigate the ability of machine learning (ML) techniques analyzing diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging to identify patients within the reco...

. High-intensity repetitive training is challenging to provide poststroke. Robotic approaches can facilitate such training by unweighting the limb and/or by improving trajectory control, but the extent to which these types of assistance are necessary...
Exact histological clot composition remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify the best imaging variables to be extrapolated on clot composition and clarify variability in the imaging of thrombi by non-contrast CT. Using a CT-phantom ...

BACKGROUND: The majority of stroke survivors experiences significant hand impairments, as weakness and spasticity, with a severe impact on the activity of daily living. To objectively evaluate hand deficits, quantitative measures are needed. The aim ...
The third artificial intelligence (AI) boom is coming, and there is an inkling that the speed of its evolution is quickly increasing. In games like chess, shogi, and go, AI has already defeated human champions, and the fact that it is able to achieve...

OBJECTIVES: Compensations are commonly employed by patients with stroke during rehabilitation without therapist supervision, leading to suboptimal recovery outcomes. This study investigated the feasibility of the real-time monitoring of compensation ...
Background and Purpose- The aim of this study was to explore clinical and radiological prognostic factors for long-term swallowing recovery in patients with poststroke dysphagia and to develop and validate a prognostic model using a machine learning ...
