The effects of high-intensity training on walking speed and endurance in the subacute phase poststroke: a systematic review Open
Background: High-intensity training (HIT) increases walking speed for individuals with chronic stroke. Several recent studies have examined its application for those in the subacute phase following a stroke. This systematic review examines…

Observational Study of Neuroimaging Biomarkers of Severe Upper Limb Impairment After Stroke Open
Within a large cohort of individuals with severe UL impairment, CC microstructure related to motor outcome poststroke. Our findings demonstrate that CST microstructure does relate to UL outcome across the full range of motor impairment but…

A Physical Therapy Mobility Checkup for Older Adults: Feasibility and Participant Preferences From a Discrete Choice Experiment Open
Older adults value knowing what physical performance measurements predict about their general health. Transitions should be evaluated as part of a Mobility Checkup for older adults. Clearly conveyed cost of health care service is important…

The Effect of Priming on Outcomes of Task-Oriented Training for the Upper Extremity in Chronic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Open
Background. Priming results in a type of implicit memory that prepares the brain for a more plastic response, thereby changing behavior. New evidence in neurorehabilitation points to the use of priming interventions to optimize functional …

Predicting Improved Daily Use of the More Affected Arm Poststroke Following Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy Open
Background Constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) produces, on average, large and clinically meaningful improvements in the daily use of a more affected upper extremity in individuals with hemiparesis. However, individual respons…
View article: Improved quality of life following constraint-induced movement therapy is associated with gains in arm use, but not motor improvement
Improved quality of life following constraint-induced movement therapy is associated with gains in arm use, but not motor improvement Open
Background. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) is one of few treatments for upper extremity (UE) hemiparesis that has been shown to result in motor recovery and improved quality of life in chronic stroke. However, the extent …

A Simple Non-invasive Method for Temporary Knockdown of Upper Limb Proprioception Open
Proprioception may be the least well measured of all contributors to the neural control of movement. New precise, reliable measures of proprioception are needed for clinical diagnosis of impairment, and to measure outcomes of proprioceptiv…

In-Home Delivery of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy via Virtual Reality Gaming Open
This model of delivering CI therapy using a custom, avatar-based virtual reality game was feasible, well received, and showed preliminary evidence of being a safe intervention to use in the home for persons with chronic hemiparesis.

Data Analytics Framework for A Game-based Rehabilitation System Open
Stroke is a major cause of hemiparesis in United States. Constraint--Induced Movement therapy (CI therapy) is an effective treatment for upper extremity hemiparesis; however it is inaccessible to most patients. To make it more accessible, …

The Brief Kinesthesia test is feasible and sensitive: a study in stroke Open
The BKT was feasible to administer and sensitive to differences in reaching accuracy between persons with stroke and a comparison group. With further refinement, The BKT may become a valuable clinical measure of post-stroke kinesthetic imp…
