A 3 year follow-up study was performed in a patient with foreign accent syndrome (FAS) as the sole cognitive manifestation of a left fronto-parietal stroke. The hypothesis of involvement of the right cerebellum in this motor speech planning disorder was investigated by means of functional neuroimaging (SPECT) and neurobehavioral assessments. Based on the close parallelism between the evolution of FAS symptoms and the perfusional changes in the right cerebellum, it is argued that FAS may result from a disruption of a close functional interplay between the supra- and infratentorial speech centers involved in motor speech planning.

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Background: The regulatory role of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele in the clinical manifestations of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the APOE ε4 allele on cognitive and motor functions in SCA3 patients.

Investigating the effects of home-based rehabilitation after intensive inpatient rehabilitation on motor function, activities of daily living, and caregiver burden.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.
