An Investigation of the Musculoskeletal Changes in the Hand After Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke and Their Impact on Hand Opening: Using Integrated Experimental and Computer Simulation Methods

Description:

Up to two thirds of individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke suffer life-long residual impairments to their paretic hands, affecting their independence and quality of life. These impairments stem initially from losses of direct corticospinal projections that result in an increased reliance on indirect bulbospinal pathways. This reliance on the indirect...

NEURAL AND BIOMECHANICAL MECHANISMS OF MOVEMENT IMPAIRMENT IN STROKE SURVIVORS

Description:

Many stroke survivors are left with residual movement impairments. Treating these impairments has proven difficult, because it is often unclear which mechanisms drive movement impairment. While the exact mechanisms are still uncertain, at present, evidence suggests that neuromuscular function is disrupted in two key domains following stroke: muscle biomechanics, and...
