Neurorehabilitation

We have developed and evaluated a number of physiological outcome measures that may be used to assess neuroplastic changes at cortical and spinal level in relation to neurorehabilitation. These include tests for cortical inhibition and processing (functional magnetic resonance imaging, interhemispheric inhibition, intracortical inhibition, suppression of cortical drive), corticospinal transmission (corticomuscular, intramuscular and intermuscular coherence analysis, transcranial magnetic stimulation, Diffusion tensor imaging) and transmission in specified spinal networks ( H-reflex testing, stretch reflex testing, conditioning peripheral nerve stimulation). We have mainly been interested in the recovery of gait function in the past, but have lately also started experiments on the recovery of hand function in stroke patients.
