Low-frequency oscillations are a biomarker of injury and recovery after stroke

This biomarker research is status quo defeatism. LEADERS CHANGE THE STATUS QUO, ARE YOU A LEADER OR A MOUSE?

Nothing here will get any survivor closer to recovery. Useless. 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke "leader" will ream me out for being negative, I look forward to that day.

 

Low-frequency oscillations are a biomarker of injury and recovery after stroke

Stroke — Cassidy JM, Wodeyar A, Wu J, et al. | April 29, 2020

This study was intended to explore hypotheses relating electroencephalography measures, including low-frequency oscillations, to injury and motor recovery post stroke. Researchers examined the association that electroencephalography measures (power and coherence with leads overlying ipsilesional primary motor cortex [iM1]) had with injury and motor status, targeting on delta (1–3 Hz) and high-beta (20–30 Hz) bands. The results of this study exhibit that delta band coherence with iM1 related to greater injury and poorer motor status subacutely, while delta band power related to greater injury and better motor status chronically. The data showed that after stroke, low-frequency oscillations reflect both injury and recovery and may be beneficial biomarkers in stroke recovery and rehabilitation.
