Stroke is one of the leading causes of permanent disability worldwide, relying conventionally on extended periods of physiotherapy to recover functional ability. While neuroimaging techniques and emerging neurorehabilitation paradigms have advanced our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying stroke, recent evidence has renewed focus on quantifying features of cortical activity present in electroencephalography recordings to greatly enhance our understanding of stroke treatment and recovery. This Neuro Forum article reviews these key advances and discusses the importance of quantifying electroencephalography in future assessments of stroke survivors.
中风是全球永久性残疾的主要原因之一,传统上依赖长时间的物理治疗来恢复功能能力。虽然神经成像技术和新兴的神经康复模式增进了我们对中风潜在病理生理机制的理解,但最近的证据再次将重点放在量化脑电图记录中存在的皮质活动特征上,以极大地增进我们对中风治疗和恢复的理解。这篇神经论坛文章回顾了这些关键进展,并讨论了在未来中风幸存者评估中量化脑电图的重要性。
