Validity, Intra-Rater Reliability and Normative Data of the Neuroflexor™ Device to Measure Spasticity of the Ankle Plantar Flexors after Stroke Open
Objective: Quantification of lower limb spasticity after stroke and the differentiation of neural from passive muscle resistance remain key clinical challenges. The aim of this study was to validate the novel NeuroFlexor foot module, to as…
View article: Motor inhibition and its contribution to recovery of dexterous hand use after stroke
Motor inhibition and its contribution to recovery of dexterous hand use after stroke Open
Recovery of dexterous hand use is critical for functional outcome after stroke. Grip force recordings can inform on maximal motor output and modulatory and inhibitory cerebral functions, but how these actually contribute to recovery of dex…

Methodological aspects of using a wearable eye-tracker to support diagnostic clinical evaluation of prolonged disorders of consciousness Open
Eye tracking was feasible during clinical assessment for this patient group. Recording eye movement responses in these easily fatigued patients has the potential to add sensitivity for detection of conscious responses and to complement cli…
View article: Methodological aspects of using a wearable eye tracker in differential diagnostics of disorders of consciousness
Methodological aspects of using a wearable eye tracker in differential diagnostics of disorders of consciousness Open
Background: The differential diagnosis of disorders of consciousness (DOC) is an important element in prognostication, clinical decision making, and information to families. Diagnosis currently relies to a large extent on clinical assessme…

Quantitative Assessment of Hand Spasticity After Stroke: Imaging Correlates and Impact on Motor Recovery Open
Objective: This longitudinal observational study investigated how neural stretch-resistance in wrist and finger flexors develops after stroke and relates to motor recovery, secondary complications, and lesion location. Methods:
View article: Treatments and rehabilitation in the acute and chronic state of traumatic brain injury
Treatments and rehabilitation in the acute and chronic state of traumatic brain injury Open
Traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) is a major cause of acquired disability globally, and effective treatment methods are scarce. Lately, there has been increasing recognition of the devastating impact of TBI resulting from sports and other rec…

Longitudinal changes in oculomotor function in young adults with mild traumatic brain injury in Sweden: an exploratory prospective observational study Open
Objectives To assess (1) whether visual disturbances can be demonstrated with objective measures more often in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) than in orthopaedic controls and non-injured controls, (2) whether such objecti…

The value of incorporating personally relevant stimuli into consciousness assessment with the Coma Recovery Scale – Revised: A pilot study Open
Personally relevant visual stimuli may minimize the risk of missing visual fixation, compared with the neutral stimuli used in the current gold standard behavioural assessment measure (CRS-R). However, due to the single-subject design this…
