I Could Have Told You That!
This rule states that at 3 months, patients should regain approx 70% of what they lost at day 3.
What is the Proportional Recovery Rule?
What is Distal to Proximal?
A polymophism in this gene might impair your synaptic plasticity.
What is BDNF?
The Brunstromm stages describe this.
What is the evolution of post stroke spasticity?
This behavioral measure may predict worse outcome.
What is NIHSS at stroke onset?
Up through the early twentieth century this is the amount of recovery that was expected after stroke.
What is None?
This famous neuroscientist said: "Nerve paths are something fixed, ended, immutable. Everything may die, nothing may be regenerated…"
Who is Ramon Y Cajal?
A polymophism in this gene might help your stroke recovery.
What is CCR5?
THis seems to happen at an accelerated rate after a stroke.
What is worsening disability with age?
This clinical condition may portend worse outcome after stroke
What are comorbidities?
Six Months
What is the time by which most stroke recovery has taken place?
This phenomenon proved that a stroke can affect brain function without causing structural damage in that area.
What is Diaschisis?
The amount of damage to this structure could be obtained from clinical scans to predict recovery.
What is the CST?
This is the abnormal activation of groups of muscles that prevents individuated movements.
What are flexor synergies?
Having celebrated fewer of these may improve your stroke recovery?
What is Younger Age?
The PREP algorithm predicts this recovery after stroke.
What is the Upper Limb?
This approach to stroke recovery has been shown to not be superior to current evidence based techniques.
What is the Bobath method?
The PREP algorithm uses this as a kind of nerve conduction study for the CST.
What is TMS?
THis happens to the cerebral peduncle ipsilateral to the stroke.
What is Atrophy?
This concept is being explored as a way to encompass the cumulative lifetime injuries that might make a brain more vulnerable.
What is Brain Frailty?
This algorithm predicts independent walking at 12 weeks after stroke.
What is TWIST?
This imperfect measure was the first biomarker used to predict stroke recovery.
What is stroke lesion size?
When neuroplasticity links movements between body parts you get this.
What is Synkinesis?
This is the term for the broad set of processes that underpin stroke recovery
What is Neuroplasticity?
