Neural correlates of passive position finger sense after stroke

Measuring lack of finger proprioception is completely useless for survivors.  Survivors need protocols that bring back such proprioception. WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU ACCOMPLISH THAT?

Abstract: Study examined the neural basis of finger proprioception deficits after stroke. It was hypothesized that a model incorporating both neural injury and neural function of the somatosensory system is necessary for delineating post stroke proprioception deficits. Finger proprioception was measured using a robot in 27 individuals with chronic unilateral stroke. Measures of neural injury (damage to gray and white matter, including corticospinal and thalamocortical sensory tracts); neural function (activation of and connectivity of cortical sensorimotor areas); and clinical status (demographics and behavioral measures) were also assessed. Results showed that impairment in finger proprioception was present contralesionally in 67 percent and bilaterally in 56 percent of participants. Robotic measures of proprioception deficits were more sensitive than standard scales and were specific to proprioception. Multivariable modeling found that contralesional proprioception deficits were best explained by a combination of neural function (connectivity between ipsilesional secondary somatosensory cortex and ipsilesional primary motor cortex) and neural injury (total sensory system injury). Impairment of finger proprioception occurs frequently after stroke and is best measured using a quantitative device such as a robot. A model containing a measure of neural function plus a measure of neural injury best explained proprioception performance. These measurements might be useful(Fucking lazy assholes) in the development of novel neurorehabilitation therapies.
