Effect of Rhythm of Music Therapy on Gait in Patients with Stroke.

Aim: This study aims to analyze the effects of rhythm of music therapy on gait in patients with ischemic stroke, and explore the value of music therapy in walking training in stroke.

Methods: The present study is a prospective clinical study. Sixty patients with ischemic stroke, who were admitted to our hospital from October 2017 to December 2018, were enrolled.

Reliability of Myotonometric Measurement of Stiffness in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury.

BACKGROUND Contracture is related to modulation of passive stiffness in muscle and tendon after spinal cord injury (SCI). Current clinical assessments of stiffness in muscles and tendons are subjective in patients with spinal cord injury. We proposed a quantitative method to evaluate stiffness of the gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon (AT) with a portable device, the MyotonPRO.

A review of the relationship between long noncoding RNA and post-stroke injury repair.

Stroke is a cerebrovascular circulation disorder with sudden onset, which causes disorder of ion balance, inflammation, and acidosis, and that in turn induces ischemia-reperfusion injury, influencing the prognosis of stroke patients. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory sequences involved at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic levels, have high specific expression in the central nervous system, and effectively regulate the development of the central nervous system and progression of diseases. Stroke induces changes in the expression of many lncRNAs.
