Objective and Hypothesis Cutaneous microvascular reactivity was investigated in chronic stroke survivors by comparing vasodilatory responses in the paretic and non-paretic legs to matched controls. It was hypothesized that vasodilatory responses would be blunted in the paretic leg of stroke survivors vs. the non-paretic leg and controls. Methods Cutaneous vascular conductance to local heating was…

IntroductionIn recent years, telerehabilitation has been increasingly used to improve access to care for children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID). However, the available evidence is still limited and highly heterogeneous. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of telerehabilitation interventions on cognitive, behavioural, and functional outcomes in this population.M…

Fewer than one in four people with stroke and fewer than one in seven people with traumatic brain injury receive inpatient rehabilitation care after being hospitalized, according to a study published on June 10, 2026, in Neurology Open Access, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

A customized throw-back video game may offer a surprisingly futuristic path to stroke recovery.

Acupuncture shows promise for stroke recovery, promoting neuroplasticity and motor function improvements, according to findings from a randomized MRI trial.

Recovering from a stroke can be a long and difficult journey. Many survivors face months or even years of rehabilitation as they work to regain movement, balance, and independence. One of the biggest challenges is weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body, a problem that occurs when stroke damages parts of the brain […] The post How Acupuncture Could Help Stroke Patients Move Again app…

IntroductionOver the past three decades, music has been increasingly incorporated into stroke motor rehabilitation; however, the term music-based intervention has been applied inconsistently. Interventions range from simple rhythmic cues to complex interactive activities, yet these distinctions are often insufficiently described to allow meaningful comparison across studies.MethodsThis scoping re…

IntroductionMilitary service members (SMs) often experience vestibular dysfunction, including symptoms like dizziness and gaze instability, following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These impairments compromise their ability to perform military duties, emphasizing the necessity for effective rehabilitation strategies. We previously developed a mixed reality-based system, called RehabXR, to de…

ObjectiveTo identify the core psychological rehabilitation needs of post-stroke Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder patients based on a patient-family-nurse triad-verified journey map, and to provide references for developing precise nursing intervention strategies.MethodsA descriptive qualitative research method was adopted. From July 2025 to November 2025, a convenience sample of 19 participants, in…

Nature Medicine, Published online: 04 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04435-1 In this feasibility clinical trial, the authors show that epidural stimulation of the cervical spinal cord safely improved strength, function and spasticity in seven people with arm hemiparesis.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability around the world. It happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Without enough oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes. While some people recover well after a stroke, many are […] The post Acupuncture May Help Stroke Survivors Regain Movement appeared first on Knowridge…

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers report the final outcomes of a pioneering pilot clinical trial using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve arm and hand mobility in people with chronic stroke today in Nature Medicine.

Paralysis on one side of the body is common after stroke. A new study in CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics demonstrates that acupuncture can significantly improve muscle function recovery in patients who experienced a stroke, with this recovery correlating to increases in grey matter volume in certain regions of the brain related to cognitive-motor integration.

The neurologist Orlando Swayne doesn’t suggest everyone can recover. But he does argue that early, targeted and intense therapy can sometimes bring about life-changing improvements – and we have a moral obligation to provide it Claire was in bad shape. She had been brought to the ward on a stretcher and hoisted on to a bed where she lay curled up in a ball. She was unable to speak, her eyes flat …
