The cortical motor map for the extensor digitorum communis muscle fails to increase in treatment-related clinically significant upper limb post-stroke recovery Cortical reorganization has been proposed as a mechanism for motor recovery of the upper limb. The objective of this study was to determine if interve…

This suggests that motor improvements may occur through other mechanisms. These could include changes in intracortical networks, strengthening of descending pathways, or other avenues, and we look forward to conducting further studies in this area.

I'm happy to share our new paper examining potential mechanisms for upper limb motor recovery. Intervention-related improvements in upper limb function were not consistently associated with a change in motor cortex map volume in the ipsilesional hemisphere.

Safety and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation in addition to constraint-induced movement therapy for post-stroke motor recovery (TRANSPORT2): a phase 2, multicentre, randomised, sham-... Motor impairments contribute substantially to long-term disability following stroke. Studies of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), combin…

Kudos to Prof. Gottfried Schlaug, Prof. Wayne Feng, and coauthors for conducting this well-executed and important study. Thank you to NIH Strokenet for supporting this and other critical #stroke recovery trials.
