New trends in Stroke Rehabilitation Increased emphasis on treatment techniques
and technology to promote neurological recovery
Advances in NeuroRehab
Promoting Neurologic Recovery Theory vs Fact
Are we really doing anything to promote brain recovery, or are we just mitigating the effects of inactivity while the brain recovers naturally?
Recent technology has allowed us to begin to answer the question of what is going on in the brain in response to our treatment
Advances in NeuroRehab
Techniques for Demonstrating Neurologic Recovery fMRI (functional MRI) PET (Positron Emission Tomography) TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
Doesn’t require volitional activity Can only stimulate brain tissue near the scalp
NIRS/NIRI (Near Infrared Spectroscopy/Imaging)
Only maps superficial cortex (1cm depth) Limited resolution Low cost, portable

Techniques for Demonstrating Neurologic Recovery fMRI (functional MRI)
Stroke
Cortical activation with hand tapping one month after R MCA
stroke (Feydy)
StrokefMRI pre and post 3 week course of grasp-release therapy with Hand-Wrist Assistive Robot. Takahashi et al. U Cal Irvine
Stroke
fMRI studies show: The brain is capable of reorganization
We can increase activity in various areas of the brain after stroke
This activity pattern can be affected by various rehabilitation therapies
Improvement can be made even YEARS after a stroke
Advances in NeuroRehab
These techniques are showing that cortical
restructuring is taking place in the brain in
response to the treatment we provide[ Neuroplasticity ]
Advances in NeuroRehab
Resultant changes in the approach to stroke rehab New technologies to promote
neuroplasticity New therapeutic techniques Counseling patients re: potential
chronic improvement Long-term exercise programs

Advances in NeuroRehab
New Technologies in Rehab Therapeutic Robotics
Pros Reproduction of motion is more accurate than
manual therapy (should improve training effect) Achieves more reps per session than manual
therapy Accurate documentation of results Very cool (fun to use = increased motivation)
Advances in NeuroRehab
New Technologies in Rehab Therapeutic Robotics
Cons very expensive Limited availability out of the research setting,
but this is beginning to change
Advances in NeuroRehab
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Using electricity to activate paralyzed
muscles in order to mimic the normal function of those muscles
Advances in NeuroRehab
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Surface electrodes
Requires stronger shock Implanted electrodes
Requires an invasive procedure Risk of infection or rejection
Advances in NeuroRehab
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Motion occurs when the muscle is
shocked Manually triggered Controlled by a computerized sequence of
shocks Controlled by a brain-computer interface

Ekso Bionics) Variable speed gait
Advances in NeuroRehab
Exoskeletal Devices - Ekso In clinical trials at Kessler
Gait and balance improve with training Increase in O2 consumption, heart rate, and ventilation
with activity with the Ekso (suggests that the activity is not just passive, and should have beneficial metabolic/cardio effects)
Muscle-firing found in leg muscles during Ekso walking Now in clinical use at Craig Rehab (April, 2012)
