Abstract
Strokes are a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. Comprehensive rehabilitation is needed to minimize disability. Theories that serve as a basis for recovery following stroke and therapeutic techniques used to potentiate recovery are discussed. Neuroplasticity is the potential for change...

Abstract
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is an intractable childhood-onset epileptic encephalopathy. Seizure freedom is rare in LGS. One of the hallmarks of LGS is medical intractability, with generally poor response to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Nevertheless, several treatment options are available that can m...

Abstract
We hypothesised that tonic epidural spinal cord stimulation can modulate spinal circuitry in human beings into a physiological state that enables sensory input from standing and stepping movements to serve as a source of neural control to undertake these tasks.
A 23-year-old man who...

Abstract
We examined the effect of bipolar electrical-conditioning stimulation (50 Hz, 0.2 ms, 5 min) of the dorsal column and lumbar dorsal roots on the response properties of spinal wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in rats after L5 spinal nerve injury. The conditioning stimulation intensity was set at the...

I were 1/96/23, 0/17/103, 0/0/ 120 at the 3rd day, the 7th day and the 14th day after treatment respectively, while in the control group they were 4/42/0, 2/ 44/0, 0/4/42 respectively. There were statistical differences between the two groups with Kruskal-Wallis test. The percent of mid and severe g...

Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder, and between one fourth and one third of the patients do not obtain seizure freedom after treatment with antiepileptic drugs. If the epileptic seizures in such patients have severe consequences, the patients should be assessed for epilepsy surgery. In case...

Primary care clinicians need to move beyond first-line therapy for major depression. While initial treatment is ineffective in about two-thirds of patients, patients who have not responded to such initial treatments can be managed effectively. The severity of depression is as high in primary care as...

Abstract
Of all the joints in the human body, the shoulder has the greatest range of motion. This allows complex movements and functions to be carried out, and is of vital importance to the activities of daily living and work. Any restriction or pain that involves the joint puts a huge amount of strain on pa...

Electrical stimulation enhanced remyelination of injured sciatic nerves by increasing neurotrophins.
Abstract
We reported that 20 Hz ES increased the number of regenerated and myelinated axons at 4 and 8 weeks after injury. P0 level in the ES-treated groups, as well as myelin sheath thickness, were enhanced compared with the controls. The earlier peak Par-3 in the ES-treated groups indicated earlier initiat...
