In inter-trial reliability, both MVIC and subMVIC methods demonstrated excellent reliability for all the measured muscles at baseline and follow-up evaluations in both healthy individuals and stroke patients. In inter-day reliability, MVIC showed good reliability for the TFL and moderate reliability for the RF, TA, and GC, while subMVIC showed good reliability for the TFL, RF, and GC and poor reliability for the TA in healthy individuals. In conclusion, the MVIC and subMVIC methods of EMG activities were feasible in in-bed healthy individuals and patients with subacute stroke. The results can serve as a basis for the clinical evaluation of muscular activities using quantitative EMG signals on the lower-limb muscles in stroke patients with impaired mobility.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11300959/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the K-MMSE and CNT in brain injury patients to evaluate the and clinical usefulness of K-MMSE. A total of 120 patients were assessed using both tests, and a significant correlation was observed between the total scores of K-MMSE and CNT. The orientation component of K-MMSE was significantly correlated with CNT components, indicating that individuals who perform well on orientation tasks are likely to have better cognitive abilities overall. While K-MMSE has limitations in evaluating specific cognitive domains, it is a useful tool in clinical practice for evaluating cognitive impairment, especially in patients who have difficulty using more complex cognitive tests.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11300958/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Handgrip, skeletal muscle mass index, and gait speed are prerequisite components for sarcopenia diagnoses. However, measurement of these parameters is often challenging for most hemiplegic stroke patients. For these reasons, there is an imperative need to develop a sarcopenia diagnostic technique that requires minimal volitional participation but nevertheless still assesses the muscle changes related to sarcopenia. The proposed AI diagnostic technique collects motor unit responses from stroke patients in a resting state via stimulated muscle contraction signals (SMCSs) recorded from surface electromyography while applying electrical stimulation to the muscle. For this study, we extracted features from SMCS collected from stroke patients and trained our AI model for sarcopenia diagnosis. We validated the performance of the trained AI models for each gender against other diagnostic parameters. The accuracy of the AI sarcopenia model was 96%, and 95% for male and females, respectively. Through these results, we were able to provide preliminary proof that SMCS could be a potential surrogate biomarker to reflect sarcopenia in stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11300961/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been reported to help in the restoration of cognitive function and overall physical function after brain injuries. We present the case of a 72-year-old man with severe oral apraxia due to a left middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke involving the left insular cortex. He was being tube fed due to severe oral apraxia with cognitive decline that made it difficult for him to even imitate simple oral movements. The patient initially had impaired consciousness and cognitive function. He also had limited physical activity due to acute stroke complications, such as hemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction, and required bed rest until 23 days after onset. The patient received intravenous cerebrolysin concentrate in addition to intensive rehabilitation therapy from 23 days after onset. After rehabilitation and administration of cerebrolysin concentrate, there was a marked recovery within a short period of time to the point where oral intake of a regular diet was possible, indicating a significant improvement in oral apraxia. It is a notable example of the potential therapeutic effect of cerebrolysin concentrate for post-stroke oral apraxia.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11300962/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141903755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This report presents a challenging case in which myositis ossificans was diagnosed and treated by medical management in a patient who was unable to complain of any symptoms due to akinetic mutism that occurred after nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had intermittent high-grade fever, and laboratory tests showed elevated C-reactive protein and D-dimer levels without clinical signs of infection two months after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Lower-extremity venography using computed tomography was performed to rule out deep venous thrombosis. There was no thrombus, but right vastus medialis muscle showed inflammatory change with faint multilayered curvilinear hyperdense rims. The administration of indomethacin helped prevent abnormal bone formation. For the early detection of myositis ossificans, careful observation of clinical presentation and a high index of clinical suspicion is necessary in brain-injured patients. Further, elevated serum inflammatory markers accompanied by elevated alkaline phosphatase can be a critical clue. Early computed tomography helps identify early 'string sign' prior to characteristic ossification. Our report highlights that the myositis ossificans is remediable by early detection and appropriate nonsurgical management.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10990839/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140862043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This narrative review explores the evolving role of biofluid biomarkers as essential tools in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of TBI. In recent times, preclinical and clinical trials utilizing these biofluid biomarkers have been actively pursued internationally. Among the biomarkers for nerve tissue proteins are neuronal biomarkers like neuronal specific enolase and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1; astroglia injury biomarkers such as S100B and glial fibrillary acidic protein; axonal injury and demyelination biomarkers, including neurofilaments and myelin basic protein; new axonal injury and neurodegeneration biomarkers like total tau and phosphorylated tau; and others such as spectrin breakdown products and microtubule-associated protein 2. The interpretation of these biomarkers can be influenced by various factors, including secretion from organs other than the injury site and systemic conditions. This review highlights the potential of these biomarkers to transform TBI management and emphasizes the need for continued research to validate their efficacy, refine testing platforms, and ultimately improve patient care and outcomes.","PeriodicalId":72442,"journal":{"name":"Brain & NeuroRehabilitation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10990840/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140871616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
