Neurorehabilitation Research

KEY FINDING: Rats with chemically induced parkinsonism (6-OHDA) showed significant motor deficits, including an inability to initiate stepping and abnormal gait patterns.

KEY FINDING: The classifier successfully separated patients and healthy controls based on their resting-state fMRI data.

KEY FINDING: Walking proficiency in the ReWalk requires about 45 sessions of training.

KEY FINDING: VNS paired with rehabilitative training significantly increased recovery of volitional forelimb strength compared to equivalent rehabilitative training without VNS after bilateral spinal cord damage at C7/8.

KEY FINDING: The proposed neuroprosthesis was able to generate individually fitted stimulation patterns for three of the participants with incomplete SCI.

KEY FINDING: Systems capable of self-adjustment and closed-loop control are crucial for modulating assistance in individual conditions to adequately assist the patient.

KEY FINDING: Actovegin® improves tissue oxygen and glucose consumption and energy production, especially in the hippocampus, an area linked to learning and memory.

KEY FINDING: Peripheral nerve interfaces and brain-machine interfaces share characteristics that allow for concurrent development.

KEY FINDING: EWT with SCES significantly increased foot loading forces and could decrease their asymmetry.

KEY FINDING: Improvements were seen for four of the five participants on at least one of the clinical scales following completion of the training intervention.
