2. Sensory stimulation therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_stimulation_therapy

   Sensory stimulation therapy (SST) is an experimental therapy that aims to use neural plasticity mechanisms to aid in the recovery of somatosensory function after stroke or cognitive ageing. Stroke and cognitive ageing are well known sources of cognitive loss, the former by neuronal death , the latter by weakening of neural connections .

3. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institutes_of...

   The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, or NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke and aid planning post-acute care disposition, though was intended to assess differences in interventions in clinical trials. The NIHSS was designed for the National ...

4. Transcranial direct-current stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_direct...

   Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neuromodulation that uses constant, low direct current delivered via electrodes on the head. This type of neurotherapy was originally developed to help patients with brain injuries or neuropsychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorder.

5. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   Nowadays, sensory prosthetic devices, such as visual implants, cochlear implants, auditory midbrain implants, and spinal cord stimulators and also motor prosthetic devices, such as deep brain stimulators, Bion microstimulators, the brain control and sensing interface, and cardiac electro-stimulation devices are widely used.

6. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

   Multimodal perception is the ability of the mammalian nervous system to combine all of the different inputs of the sensory nervous system to result in an enhanced detection or identification of a particular stimulus. Combinations of all sensory modalities are done in cases where a single sensory modality results in an ambiguous and incomplete ...

7. Functional electrical stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_electrical...

   Liberson et al., 1961 [23] was the first to observe that some stroke patients appeared to benefit from a temporary improvement in function and were able to dorsiflex their foot for up to an hour after the electrical stimulation had been turned off. It has been hypothesised that this temporary improvement in function may be linked to a long term ...

8. Cortical stimulation mapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_stimulation_mapping

   Cortical stimulation mapping has also identified a language area in the basal temporal cortex that was previously unknown. [6] Cortical stimulation mapping in patients with epilepsy has shown that critical language areas of the brain vary greatly in patients, highlighting the need to perform accurate mapping prior to surgeries in language areas ...

9. Sensory room - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_room

   Relaxation is an important aspect of sensory rooms, and the different variables of multi-sensory rooms can possibly help reduce different kinds of problem behavior in patients. [18] Hospice care patients can benefit from using sensory environments because they can enhance their end-of-life experience. These environments introduce a variety of ...
