Combination of Neurotechnologies Towards Personalized Neurorehabilitation for Stroke Patients
"Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages" is the third sustainable development goal for the United Nations Agenda of 2030. This doctoral thesis fully embodied this objective by targeting stroke, a leading cause of death and disabili ...
EPFL2023Determining patterns of post-stroke motor recovery through longitudinal multimodal MRI: A step towards patient stratification
Motivated by the need for a better understanding of post-stroke recovery and new biomarkers to improve stroke patient stratification and outcomes, this thesis investigated structure-function coupling and its role in post-stroke recovery. Furthermore, in or ...
EPFL2022Clinical value of assessing motor performance in postacute stroke patients
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé
Background Rehabilitative treatment plans after stroke are based on clinical examinations of functional capacity and patient-reported outcomes. Objective information about daily life performance is usually not available, but it may improve therapy personal ...
BMC2021Combining Optogenetic Stimulation and Motor Training Improves Functional Recovery and Perilesional Cortical Activity
Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini, Francesco Saverio Pavone
Background. An ischemic stroke is followed by the remapping of motor representation and extensive changes in cortical excitability involving both hemispheres. Although stimulation of the ipsilesional motor cortex, especially when paired with motor training ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC2021Designing Gamified Activities with Haptic-Enabled Tangible Robots for Therapy and Assistance
In this thesis, we contribute to the field of rehabilitation robotics by designing haptic-enabledtangible robot-based activities and exploring their added value for therapy and assistance.The research specifically focuses on the design and development of g ...
EPFL2021Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders
Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...
EPFL2021Interventions for Softening Can Lead to Hardening of Opinions: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Robert West, Andreas Oliver Spitz, Ahmad Abu-Akel
Motivated by the goal of designing interventions for softening polarized opinions on the Web, and building on results from psychology, we hypothesized that people would be moved more easily towards opposing opinions when the latter were voiced by a celebri ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Detecting Compensatory Motions and Providing Informative Feedback During a Tangible Robot Assisted Game for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
Pierre Dillenbourg, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Barbara Bruno, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Ayberk Özgür, Hala Khodr
Gamified rehabilitation tackles the problem of keeping patients engaged in, and motivated to do physical rehabilitation to improve its efficacy. However, with respect to standard rehabilitation, patients are freer to move about and may compensate their mot ...
IEEE2021Advanced Neurotechnologies for the Restoration of Motor Function
Silvestro Micera, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Advanced technological solutions ("neurotechnologies'') exploiting robotic systems and electrodes that stimulate the nervous system can increase the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation. Recent stud ...
CELL PRESS2020Combined rehabilitation promotes recovery of motor functionality in a mouse model of stroke
Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini
Neuro-rehabilitative research is developing novel strategies to enhance the effectiveness of therapies after stroke by using a combination of physical and plasticizing treatments 1-3. Previous studies have shown that repeated optogenetics stimulation of ne ...
