Comparing Neuroplasticity Changes Between High and Low Frequency Gait Training in Subacute Stroke: Protocol for a Randomized, Single-Blinded, Controlled Study.

Background: Walking recovery post stroke can be slow and incomplete. Determining effective stroke rehabilitation frequency requires the assessment of neuroplasticity changes. Neurobiological signals from electroencephalogram (EEG) can measure neuroplasticity through incremental changes of these signals after rehabilitation.

Revisiting Spasticity After Stroke: Clustering Clinical Characteristics for Identifying At-Risk Individuals.

Purpose: To collectively identify the clinical characteristics determining the risk of developing spasticity after stroke.

Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a single rehabilitation outpatient clinic from June to December 2019. Inclusion criteria were stroke duration of over four weeks, aged 18 years and above.

Case-Control Study and Meta-Analysis of the Association Between LIPG rs9958947 SNP and Stroke Risk.

The rs9958947 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) resides in the promoter region of the lipase G (LIPG) gene. This newly discovered SNP increases the risk of stroke in some Asian populations, including Chinese and Korean populations. Stroke is one of the top 5 leading causes of death in Malaysia, so it is of interest to investigate whether this SNP is associated with stroke risk in the Malaysian population.
