When this finally comes out, ask your doctor if anything newer than Margaret Yekutiel writing a whole book about this in 2001, 'Sensory Re-Education of the Hand After Stroke' is in there. And ask what hand recovery protocols they wrote up from that 2001 book.
Do you prefer your doctor and hospital incompetence NOT KNOWING OR NOT DOING anything on this?

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One in two people lose the sense of touch after stroke. It is like the hand is blind. If we are to address this problem using restorative approaches to rehabilitation, we need to both advance our understanding of the neuroscience of touch and how we might help stroke survivors regain a sense of touch using approaches founded on neuroplasticity and learning.
The aim of this special issue is to advance the neuroscience of touch and recovery of somatosensation after stroke. We invite researchers in the field to contribute their collective research and knowledge to address this somewhat hidden problem. We welcome submissions from pre-clinical and applied fields of research so that we can identify and synthesise core knowledge and approaches to advance the field. Reviews and original research papers on: processing of somatosensory information; neuroimaging of touch and somatosensation; neuoplasticity of touch; perceptual learning; impairment of touch, proprioceptive and haptic object recognition after stroke; recovery of somatosensation after stroke; and restorative approaches to rehabilitation are encouraged. Clinical studies and studies that employ technologies such as neuroimaging, magnetoencephalography and artificial intelligence, to achieve new insights are suited to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Leeanne Carey
Guest Editor

For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs).
