Purpose: To propose a consensus-based definition and framework for motor rehabilitation
after stroke. Methods: An expert European working group reviewed the literature, attaining …

A group of European experts was commissioned by the European Chapter of the
International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology to gather knowledge about the state of …

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are used in stroke rehabilitation to translate brain signals
into intended movements of the paralyzed limb. However, the efficacy and mechanisms of …

Stroke is a leading cause of acquired, permanent disability worldwide. Although the
treatment of acute stroke has been improved considerably, the majority of patients to date …

Pathological perturbations of the brain are rarely confined to a single locus; instead, they
often spread via axonal pathways to influence other regions. Patterns of such disease …

Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke
and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and …

Stroke has long been regarded as focal disease with circumscribed damage leading to
neurological deficits. However, advances in methods for assessing the human brain and in …

After focal damage, cerebral networks reorganise their structural and functional anatomy to
compensate for both the lesion itself and remote effects. Novel developments in the analysis …

Background: Spasticity following a stroke occurs in about 30% of patients. The mechanisms
underlying this disorder, however, are not well understood. Method: This review aims to …

Reductions in blood flow to the brain of sufficient duration and extent lead to stroke, which
results in damage to neuronal networks and the impairment of sensation, movement or …
