Context-Aware Monitoring of Hand Motor Primitives in Daily Life Activities: A Pathway to Objectively Assess Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper-Limb Neurological Impairment

The hands, our silent performers in daily life, face overwhelming challenges when neurological impairments disrupt the simple tasks that compose our daily symphony. This thesis unveils a comprehensive framework for the objective monitoring of upper-limb re ...

Immediate effect of ankle exoskeleton on spatiotemporal parameters and center of pressure trajectory after stroke

Silvestro Micera, Mohamed Bouri, Solaiman Shokur, Mouhamed Zorkot

Gait impairments is a common condition in post-stroke subjects. We recently presented a wearable ankle exoskeleton called G-Exos, which showed that the device assisted in the ankle's dorsiflexion and inversion/reversion movements. The aim of the current pi ...

Neurophysiological underpinnings of an intensive protocol for upper limb motor recovery in subacute and chronic stroke patients

Silvestro Micera, Matteo Vissani, Michael Lassi

ABS T R A C T BACKGROUND: Upper limb (UL) motor impairment following stroke is a leading cause of functional limitations in activities of daily living. Robot-assisted therapy supports rehabilitation, but how its efficacy and the underlying neural mechanism ...

Longitudinal evaluation of the mechanisms supporting post-stroke motor recovery using TMS-EEG coupling

Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior

Stroke is the main source of long-lasting disability, affecting dominantly motor functions. The extent and course of recovery are highly heterogeneous between patients, with a minority of patients fully recovering from their initial impairments, leaving 85 ...

Evaluation of a shortened version of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) for upper extremity function after stroke: The Mini-ARAT

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Objectives (i) to create a shortened version of the Action Research Arm Test scale, (ii) to investigate its psychometric properties compared to the original scale and (iii) to externally validate it within an independent cohort. Design Prospective longitud ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...

Variability of Muscle Synergies in Hand Grasps: Analysis of Intra- and Inter-Session Data

Una Pale

Background. Muscle synergy analysis is an approach to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms behind the hypothesized ability of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce the dimensionality of muscle control. The muscle synergy approach is also used ...

Reply to: “1.5 Dissociation” of somatoparaphrenia for the upper limb and neglect for the lower limb following a thalamic stroke presenting as flaccid hemiparesis: rehabilitation applications and neuroscience implications

Olaf Blanke

This interesting case study reports on a patient who subsequent to a right thalamic hematoma developed a left hemiparesis, left extrapersonal and personal hemineglect and somatoparaphrenia, but only for the arm not the leg. It is not specifically mentioned ...

Neurotechnology-aided interventions for upper limb motor rehabilitation in severe chronic stroke

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Martina Coscia, John Donoghue

Upper limb motor deficits in severe stroke survivors often remain unresolved over extended time periods. Novel neurotechnologies have the potential to significantly support upper limb motor restoration in severely impaired stroke individuals. Here, we revi ...

Wearable technology in stroke rehabilitation: towards improved diagnosis and treatment of upper-limb motor impairment

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Traian Popa, Anne-Christine Schmid

Stroke is one of the main causes of long-term disability worldwide, placing a large burden on individuals and society. Rehabilitation after stroke consists of an iterative process involving assessments and specialized training, aspects often constrained by ...
