Authors saw no difference in corticospinal excitability (CSE) between #stroke participants who did 12 wks of HIIT or MICT exercise. Combining data across groups showed exercise may increase ipsilateral CSE excitability & reduce interhemispheric imbalances. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

In a recent clinical trial, an intensive, group-based, 5-week upper-limb #rehabilitation program (Boot Camp) was determined to be feasible & safe for people with chronic #stroke, & program participants demonstrated substantial gains in upper-limb outcomes. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The PROWALKS trial found that a 12-week step activity monitoring intervention increases walking activity after #stroke with or without high-intensity gait training. However, all study groups had significant declines in steps/day 6 & 12 months post-intervention. 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

@aaronlwong.bsky.social @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social & @sthibault.bsky.social found that incongruence between tool & hand motions may exacerbate competition between motions of the hand & tool. Resolving this competition is challenging for people with #LimbApraxia. 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40925673/

In people with #Parkinsons disease, an autonomous closed-loop rhythmic auditory stimulation system showed promise for inducing entrainment & gait changes with a tempo ⬆️. A subset improved gait rhythmicity & stride length, potentially lowering fall risk. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

BDNF has been targeted as a potential biomarker for stroke recovery, & authors examined the effects of cardiovascular exercise on BDNF early after #stroke.

Our lab’s first publication on building an MRI-compatible tactile stimulator is out! Open access until Nov 9, 2025 → authors.elsevier.com/c/1loxQbXTPD...

Authors found higher trial-by-trial variation in smoothness in a reaching task after #stroke was related to worse clinical assessment scores, worse 90-day outcomes, & more corticospinal tract injury, providing insight into post-stroke sensorimotor control. 🧠🔄 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Dual task conditions are often used in studies for greater insight into functional performance. Authors found that dual-task effects in people with chronic stroke are influenced by an interaction between the type & complexity of mobility & cognitive tasks. 🧠🔄 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/thrilli.... Great write up about BCI research in the UC system.
