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. Stroke recovery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_recovery

   The Copenhagen Stroke Study, which is a large important study published in 2001, showed that out of 618 stroke patients, manual apraxia was found in 7% and oral apraxia was found in 6%. [98] Both manual and oral apraxia were related to increasing severity of stroke.

4. Canadian Stroke Network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Stroke_Network

   The Ontario Stroke Registry (formerly the Registry of the Canadian Stroke Network (RCSN)) was established in 2001 to allow for the measurement and monitoring of stroke care delivery and outcomes in Canadian patients at participating institutions, and to serve as a rich clinical database for investigator-initiated research projects.

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. Dejerine–Roussy syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dejerine–Roussy_syndrome

   Spinal cord stimulation has been studied in the last couple of years. In a long case study, 8 patients were given spinal cord stimulation via insertion of a percutaneous lead at the appropriate level of the cervical or thoracic spine. Between 36 and 149 months after the stimulations, the patients were interviewed. 6 of the 8 had received ...

7. Functional electrical stimulation - Wikipedia

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

   Patients with hemiplegia following a stroke commonly experience shoulder pain and subluxation; both of which will interfere with the rehabilitation process. Functional electrical stimulation has been found to be effective for the management of pain and reduction of shoulder subluxation, as well as accelerating the degree and rate of motor recovery.

8. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

   The conduction velocity is measured in meters per second. It is obtained by dividing the distance between the stimulation site and the recording site by the latency: Conduction velocity = Distance/Latency. Sensory NCS: An example screenshot showing the results of a sensory nerve conduction velocity study of the right median nerve.

9. Audio-visual entrainment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio-Visual_Entrainment

   In order to affect brain (neuronal) activity, sensory stimulation must be within the frequency range of roughly 0.5 to 25 hertz (Hz) [citation needed]. Touch, photic and auditory stimulation are capable of affecting brain wave activity. A large area of skin must be stimulated to affect brainwaves, which leaves both auditory and photic ...
