We've started working on a #Neurorehabilitation Starter Pack to help researchers, clinicians, and other professionals in the field get connected.

Please reply or message to be added to or removed from the list. We're excited to see a growing neurorehab community here!

Everyday movements, like reaching for objects, require coordination of multiple joints and can remain impaired long after a #stroke. Using a robotic exoskeleton, authors observed multi-joint impairments & abnormal synergies that can inform #rehabilitation. 🧠🔄 🧠📈

Using DTI, authors found remote degeneration of sensorimotor cortex & supraspinal tracts in people with spinal cord injury. DTI metrics correlated w/ motor function, sensory function, & MEP parameters, suggesting DTI metrics could potentially serve as biomarkers.

New paper from lab: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Restoration of temporal separability between beta and movement ensemble co-firing with motor recovery

Choi et al. demonstrate that stroke disrupts temporal separability between beta and movement-related ensemble co-firing states, which is restored during recovery. They also show that low-frequency alt...

Despite including half of the dose of repetitive task practice, the combination therapy was similarly effective in improving HRQoL as repetitive task practice alone.

ASNR @asnrehab.bsky.social · 12d

In this clinical trial, authors examined the effects of upper extremity repetitive task practice with or without forced-rate aerobic exercise. Both groups improved in multiple domains of The Stroke Impact Scale & the participation domain of the PROMIS-29. 🧠🔄 🧠📈

Ever tried to feel a vibration while concentrating on a tricky listening task? Our latest publication suggests that the auditory challenge makes it harder and noisier to notice and tell apart the tactile signals. Open access until Nov 18: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ls35brwfQ...

@aaronlwong.bsky.social @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social & @sthibault.bsky.social found that incongruence between tool & hand motions may exacerbate competition between motions of the hand & tool. Resolving this competition is challenging for people with #LimbApraxia.

BDNF has been targeted as a potential biomarker for stroke recovery, & authors examined the effects of cardiovascular exercise on BDNF early after #stroke. They found cardiovascular exercise didn't induce significant chronic or acute changes in serum BDNF. 🧠🔄 🧠📈

Authors found higher trial-by-trial variation in smoothness in a reaching task after #stroke was related to worse clinical assessment scores, worse 90-day outcomes, & more corticospinal tract injury, providing insight into post-stroke sensorimotor control. 🧠🔄 🧪

Dual task conditions are often used in studies for greater insight into functional performance. Authors found that dual-task effects in people with chronic stroke are influenced by an interaction between the type & complexity of mobility & cognitive tasks. 🧠🔄 🧪
