نحن نضع أبحاث السكتة الدماغية موضع التنفيذ

Dr Meret Branscheidt, Medical Director at the cereneo Rehabilitation Center Hertenstein has been part of the NIBS roundtable expert team to establish a translational roadmap for the use of precision non-invasive brain stimulation in stroke rehabilitation. The outcome of this expert roundtable is the establishment of 5 key recommendations for the use of NIBS with the goal to tailor NIBS to the specific patient needs by using the same set of measurements to better track results to compare different studies. At cereneo, Dr Meret Branscheidt is successfully using the different NIBS techniques at the cereneo rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland to support the recovery of stroke patients.

This is a case report by Mike D. Rinderknecht, Julio A. Dueñas, Jeremia P. Held, Olivier Lambercy, Fabio M. Conti, Leopold Zizlsperger, Andreas R. Luft, Marie-ClaudeHepp-Reymond and RogerGassert. The report describes a novel automated assessment tool for tactile mislocalization in neurological patients with somatosensory deficits after stroke. The automated assessment tool allows to identify, locate, precisely quantify, and depict the patients’ deficits in topesthesia, which can be severely affected by neurological injuries, such as stroke.

This longitudinal study by Jing Xu, Meret Branscheidt, Heidi Schambra, Levke Steiner, Mario Widmer, Jörn Diederichsen, Jeff Goldsmith, Martin Lindquist, Tomoko Kitago, Andreas R. Luft, John W. Krakauer and Pablo A. Celnik aims to investigate inter hemispheric interactions of stroke patients by tracking their pre-movement inter hemispheric inhibition (IHI) for one year following their stroke. An inhibitory imbalance found in patients with chronic stroke seems to correlate with poor motor performance and is a target for therapeutic interventions.

This study by Heidi M. Schambra, Jing Xu, Meret Branscheidt, Martin Lindquist, Jasim Uddin, Levke Steiner, Benjamin Hertler, Nathan Kim, Jessica Berard, Michelle D. Harran, Juan C. Cortes, Tomoko Kitago, Andreas Luft, John W. Krakauer and Pablo A. Celnik aims to determine if presence or absence of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) differentially influences recovery of volitional contraction and strength in an arm muscle versus an intrinsic hand muscle. Recovery of movement in proximal and distal upper extremity (UE) muscles after stroke appears to follow different time courses which suggests differences in their neutral substrates.

This prospective cross-sectional observational study by Anne Schwarz, Miguel M. C. Bhagubai, Saskia H. G. Nies, Jeremia P. O. Held, Peter H. Veltink, Jaap H. Buurke and Andreas R. Luft aims to comprehensively characterize spatiotemporal kinematics of stroke subjects during upper limb daily living activities. Therefore, kinematic expressions were investigated with respect to different movement types and impairment levels for the entire task as well as for motion subphases.
