The methodology involved three main phases: data collection and filtering, development of a clinical vocabulary, and the development of an automatic clinical text processing engine to aid the process and identify the unique and common topics. The common themes from the intersection of the three concepts were identified. These were then reviewed, with particular reference to the top 30 articles identified as intersecting these concepts. Results: The search of the three concepts separately yielded 405,636 publications. Publications were filtered to include only human studies, generating 263,751 publications related to the concepts of neuroplasticity (n=6,498), stroke recovery (n=79,060), and learning (n=178,193). A cluster concept map (network graph) was generated from the results; indicating the concept nodes, strength of link between nodes, and the intersection between all three concepts. We identified 23 common themes (topics) and the top 30 articles that best represent the intersecting themes. A time-linked pattern emerged. Discussion and Conclusions: Our novel approach developed for this review allowed the identification of the common themes/topics that intersect the concepts of neuroplasticity, stroke recovery, and learning. These may be synthesised to advance a neuroscience-informed approach to stroke rehabilitation. We also identified gaps in available literature using this approach. These may help guide future targeted research.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:08:18 AEDT ]]> Combined somatosensory and motor training to improve upper limb function following stroke: a systematic scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35334 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:28:12 AEDT ]]> Neuroscience findings on coordination of reaching to grasp an object: implications for research https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17247 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:21 AEDT ]]> Measures of Maximal Tactile Pressures during a Sustained Grasp Task Using a TactArray Device Have Satisfactory Reliability and Concurrent Validity in People with Stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51413 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:50:35 AEST ]]> COMbined Physical and somatoSEnsory training after stroke: Development and description of a novel intervention to improve upper limb function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42735 Fri 30 Jun 2023 12:50:12 AEST ]]> Impact assessment of the Centre for Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53133 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:23:28 AEDT ]]> Measures of maximal tactile pressures of a sustained grasp task using a TactArray device have satisfactory reliability and validity in healthy people https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46151 n = 18, mean age: 62.2 ± 9.9 years) performed three repeat trials of sustained maximal grasp over 8 seconds. Both hands were tested in within-day and between-day sessions, with vision and without vision. Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were measured for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s). Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were reported using the highest value among three repeat trials, the mean of two repeat trials, and the mean of three repeat trials. Reliability was determined using changes in mean, coefficients of variation and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate concurrent validity. Results: Changes in mean were very good, coefficients of variation were good to acceptable and ICCs were very good to good for maximal tactile pressures using the highest value among three repeat trials and the mean of three repeat trials for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s) in the dominant hand with and without vision and in the non-dominant hand without vision for within-day and between-day sessions. Maximal tactile pressures had moderate to large correlations with grip strength. Conclusion: The TactArray device demonstrates satisfactory reliability for maximal tactile pressures during a sustained grasp for within-day and between-day testing sessions in both hands. Validity was satisfactory with grip strength in both hands.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 18:58:47 AEDT ]]>
