Effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on intracranial compliance in the subacute phase of stroke.

Objectives: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) increases cerebral blood flow. This study evaluated the effects of anodal tDCS (A-tDCS) on intracranial compliance (ICC) in patients with subacute stroke using a non-invasive method.

Methods: This was a randomized, proof-of-concept, double-blind, pilot study.

Effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation over motor cortex on resting-state brain activity in the early subacute stroke phase: A power spectral density analysis.

Introduction: Despite promising results, the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the early stages of stroke and its impact on brain activity have been poorly studied. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of tDCS applied over the ipsilesional motor cortex on resting-state brain activity in the early subacute phase of stroke.

Methods: This is a pilot, randomized, double-blind, proof-of-concept study.

Use of artificial intelligence as an instrument of evaluation after stroke: a scoping review based on international classification of functioning, disability and health concept.

Introduction: To understand the current practices in stroke evaluation, the main clinical decision support system and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies need to be understood to assist the therapist in obtaining better insights about impairments and level of activity and participation in persons with stroke during rehabilitation.

Methods: This scoping review maps the use of AI for the functional evaluation of persons with stroke; the context involves any setting of rehabilitation. Data were extracted from CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, PEDRO Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, AAAI Publications, ACM Digital Library, MathSciNet, and arXiv up to January 2021.
