Is resting-state EEG longitudinally associated with recovery of clinical neurological impairments early poststroke? A prospective cohort study

I can see zero reason to even ask this question. You fuckers don't understand that predictions based upon the current extreme failures in stroke rehab are criminally incompetent? WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO PREDICT THE FAILURE OUTCOMES OF CURRENT STROKE REHAB? ARE YOU THAT FUCKING STUPID? Change the outcomes of stroke to 100% recovery. That is what leaders would do. Are you a leader or not?

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 making them look bad by being truthful , I look forward to that day.

Abstract: Study investigated the time course of electroencephalography (EEG)-based spectral characteristics during awake rest and the development of these spectral characteristics in relation to global neurological and upper-limb motor recovery in the first 6 months poststroke. Resting-state EEG was measured serially in 41 patients after a first-ever ischemic stroke, within the first 3 weeks, and at 5, 12, and 26 weeks poststroke. The brain symmetry index (BSI) and directional BSI (BSIdir) were computed over different frequency bands (1-25 Hz, delta, theta) and delta/alpha ratio (DAR). The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of the upper extremity (FM-UE) were used as clinical reflections of spontaneous neurobiological recovery. Longitudinal changes in spectral characteristics and within- and between-subject associations with NIHSS and FM-UE were analyzed with linear mixed models. Spectral characteristics showed a gradual normalization over time, within and beyond 12 weeks poststroke. Significant within- and between-subject associations with NIHSS were found for DAR of the affected hemisphere (DARAH) and BSIdir-delta. BSIdir-delta also demonstrated significant within- and between-subject associations with FM-UE. Changes in spectral characteristics are not restricted to the time window of recovery of clinical neurological impairments. The findings suggest that decreasing DARAH and BSIdir-delta reflect improvement of global neurological impairments, whereas BSIdir-delta was also specifically associated with upper-limb motor recovery early poststroke.
