Reflections on mirror therapy: A systematic review of the effect of mirror visual feedback on the brain (2014)
Journal Article
Deconinck, F. J., Smorenburg, A. R., Benham, A., Ledebt, A., Feltham, M. G., & Savelsbergh, G. J. (2015). Reflections on mirror therapy: A systematic review of the effect of mirror visual feedback on the brain. Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 29(4), 349-361. https://doi.org/10.1177/1545968314546134

Background. Mirror visual feedback (MVF), a phenomenon where movement of one limb is perceived as movement of the other limb, has the capacity to alleviate phantom limb pain or promote motor recovery of the upper limbs after stroke. The tool has rece... Read More about Reflections on mirror therapy: A systematic review of the effect of mirror visual feedback on the brain.

Movement speed is biased by prior experience. (2014)
Journal Article
(2014). Movement speed is biased by prior experience. Journal of Neurophysiology, 128 - 134. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00522.2013

How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show that such models also need to...

Alternating-frequency TENS effects on experimental pain in healthy human participants: a randomized placebo-controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article
Barlas, P., Chesterton, L., Sim, J., & Claydon, L. (2013). Alternating-frequency TENS effects on experimental pain in healthy human participants: a randomized placebo-controlled trial. Clinical Journal of Pain, 533-539. https://doi.org/10.1097/ajp.0b013e318262330f

Background
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a modality commonly used in pain management.

Objectives
This study investigated the hypoalgesic effects of alternating-frequency TENS (4 Hz for 3 s/110 Hz for 3 s) on pressure pain... Read More about Alternating-frequency TENS effects on experimental pain in healthy human participants: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Development of a treatment schedule of conventional physical therapy provided to promote upper limb sensorimotor recovery after stroke: a cypriot perspective (2013)
Journal Article
Venizelou, E., & Hunter, S. (2013). Development of a treatment schedule of conventional physical therapy provided to promote upper limb sensorimotor recovery after stroke: a cypriot perspective. Epitheorese klinikes Farmakologias kai Farmakokinetikes – Greek Edition (Inspection of Pharmacology and Pharmacokinetics clinics), 31(3), Article 14

Σκοπός: Πολλοί ερευνητές αναφέρουν ότι η θεραπεία ρουτίνας ή συνηθισµένη είναι ωφέλιµη για ασθενείς που έχουν υποστεί Αγγειακό Εγκεφαλικό Επεισόδιο (ΑΕΕ). Όµως, πολύ λίγες είναι οι µελέτες που αναφέρουν τι ακριβώς συµπεριλαµβάνεται στον παραπάνω...
