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 study by Jeremia Philipp Oskar Held, Kevin Yu, Connor Pyles, Janne Marieke Verbeek, Felix Bork, Sandro-Michael Heining, Nassir Navab, Andreas R. Luft aims (1) to investigate manipulation of the gait pattern of persons who have had a stroke based on virtual augmentation during overground walking compared to walking without augmented reality (AR) performance feedback and (2) to investigate the usability of the AR system. Improving balance and gait are among the main goals of rehabilitation after stroke.

This study by Christoph M. Kanzler, Anne Schwarz, Jeremia P. O. Held, Andreas R. Luft, Roger Gassert and Olivier Lambercy evaluates the ability of the Virtual Peg Insertion Test (VPIT) to characterize arm and hand sensorimotor impairments that are relevant for performing functional tasks after stroke. To optimise the impact of neurorehabilitation interventions, it is essential to assess arm and hand sensorimotor impairments that are functionally relevant. The VPIT addresses limitations and quantifies movements during a goal-directed manipulation task.

This Delphi study by Johannes Pohl, Jeremia Philipp Oskar Held, Geert Verheyden, Margit Alt Murphy, Stefan Engelter, Agnes Flöel, Thierry Keller, Gert Kwakkel, Tobias Nef, Nick Ward, Andreas R. Luft, Janne Marieke Veerbeek aims to develop an internationally agreed on core set of motor outcome measures for clinical application to serve as a quality standard in clinical motor rehabilitation post stroke.

This study by Anne Schwarz, Miguel M. C. Bhagubai, Gerjan Wolterink, Jeremia P. O. Held, Andreas R. Luft and Peter H. Veltink aims to improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of upper limb movement deficits and to prove the effectiveness of interventions after strokes.

A prospective observational cohort study in stroke subjects by Jeremia P. O. Held, Anne Schwarz, Johannes Pohl, Eva Thürlimann, Silvan Porrtmann, Meret Branscheidt, Madalina Fratian, Jannie van Duinen, Janne M. Veerbeek and Andreas R. Luft. This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 shutdown on stroke survivors’ access to therapy, physical activity, functioning and mood in Switzerland.

A prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study by Bea Essers, Annick Van Gils, Christophe Lafosse, Marc Michielsen, Hilde Beyens, Fabienne Schillebeeckx, Janne M. Veerbeek, Andreas R. Luft, Daphne Kos and Geert Verheyden: The aim is to investigate the evolution of a group of stroke patients from six to 12 months, to determine factors on admission to inpatient rehabilitation. A shown ‘mismatch’ group of patients with good observed upper limb (UL) motor function but low perceived UL activity at six months post stroke tends to use the affected UL less in daily life than would be expected based on clinical tests. The importance of tailoring to the individual needs of patients is to be confirmed.

The study by D. Flury, F. Massé, A. Paraschiv‑Ionescu, K. Aminian, A. R. Luft and R. Gonzenbach shows that information about motor performance in daily life can be valuable for tailoring rehabilitative therapy plans and counseling according to the needs of individual stroke patients.

A randomized controlled trial by Mario Widmer, Jeremia P. O. Held, Frieder Wittmann, Belen Valladares, Olivier Lambercy, Christian Sturzenegger, Antonella Palla, Kai Lutz, Andreas R. Luft: Learning and learning-related neuroplasticity in motor cortex are potential mechanisms mediating recovery of movement abilities after stroke. These mechanisms depend on dopaminergic projections from midbrain that may encode reward information. Likewise, therapist experience confirms the role of feedback/reward for training efficacy after stroke.

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.
