[Effect of "Jin three-needle therapy" on cognitive function and activity of daily living in patients of hemiplegia after stroke: a multi-central randomized controlled study]

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To provide reliable evidence of "J in three-needle therapy" for treatment of stroke. METHODS: Multi-central randomized controlled trials were adopted, 180 hemiplegia patients of ischemic stroke were randomly divided into a fin ... Read more...

Use of information feedback and attentional focus of feedback in treating the person with a hemiplegic arm.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Feedback about motor performance can induce either an internal focus of attention (about body movement) or an external focus of attention (about the effects on the environment) in the learner. The main aim of this pilot study ... Read more...

The role of motor simulation in action perception: a neuropsychological case study.

5 Apr 2009 Research on embodied cognition stresses that bodily and motor processes constrain how we perceive others. Regarding action perception the most prominent hypothesis is that observed actions are matched to the observer's own motor representations. ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hemiplegia'

Definition: Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
