  2. Fugl-Meyer Assessment of sensorimotor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugl-Meyer_Assessment_of...

    Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale is an index to assess the sensorimotor impairment in individuals who have had stroke. [1] This scale was first proposed by Axel Fugl-Meyer and his colleagues as a standardized assessment test for post-stroke recovery in their paper titled The post-stroke hemiplegic patient: A method for evaluation of physical performance.

  3. Brunnstrom Approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnstrom_Approach

    The Brunnstrom Approach follows six proposed stages of sequential motor recovery after a stroke. A patient can plateau at any of these stages, but will generally follow this sequence if he or she makes a full recovery. [1] [2] The variability found between patients depends on the location and severity of the lesion, and the potential for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_recovery

    The incidence of post-stroke depression peaks at 3–6 months and usually resolves within 1–2 years after the stroke, although a minority of patients can go on to develop chronic depression. The diagnosis of post-stroke depression is complicated by other consequences of stroke such as fatigue and psychomotor retardation – which do not ...

    A stroke is like the brain’s version of a heart attack — and is also life-threatening. When the blood flow to the heart is blocked, we call it a heart attack. And when blood flow to the brain ...

  6. Dejerine–Roussy syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejerine–Roussy_syndrome

    Dejerine–Roussy syndrome most often compromises tactile sensation. Therefore, the damage in the thalamus causes miscommunication between the afferent pathway and the cortex of the brain, changing what or how one feels. [1] The change could be an incorrect sensation experienced, or inappropriate amplification or dulling of a sensation.

  7. 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. SST ...

  8. Spinal shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_shock

    The reason reflexes return is the hypersensitivity of reflex muscles following denervation – more receptors for neurotransmitters are expressed and are therefore easier to stimulate. Phases 3 and 4 are characterized by hyperreflexia, or abnormally strong reflexes usually produced with minimal stimulation.
