Freitas M, Pinho F, Pinho L, Silva S, Figueira V, Vilas-Boas J, et al.
Sensors (Basel) . 2024 Apr; 24(7). PMID: 38610549
Non-linear and dynamic systems analysis of human movement has recently become increasingly widespread with the intention of better reflecting how complexity affects the adaptability of motor systems, especially after a...

Pereira S, Silva A, Santos R, Costa Silva C
Motor Control . 2024 Apr; 28(3):276-304. PMID: 38580301
Premature life exposure, meaning an immature central nervous system, presents a significant challenge for the development of postural control and, in turn, overall motor development. Preventing motor delay thus requires...

Sousa A, Moreira J, Silva C, Mesquita I, Silva A, Macedo R, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Apr; 12(1):6999. PMID: 35487933
Postural control mechanisms have a determinant role in reaching tasks and are typically impaired in post-stroke patients. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been demonstrated to be a promising therapy for...

Couto A, Vaz M, Pinho L, Felix J, Silva S, Silva A, et al.
Sensors (Basel) . 2022 Mar; 22(5). PMID: 35271155
Objective: To identify and summarize biomechanical assessment approaches in interlimb coordination on poststroke gait. Introduction: Interlimb coordination involves complex neurophysiological mechanisms that can be expressed through the biomechanical output. The...

Sousa A, Moreira J, Silva C, Mesquita I, Macedo R, Silva A, et al.
Sensors (Basel) . 2022 Feb; 22(4). PMID: 35214311
Stroke leads to significant impairment in upper limb (UL) function. The goal of rehabilitation is the reestablishment of pre-stroke motor stroke skills by stimulating neuroplasticity. Among several rehabilitation approaches, functional...

Barbosa P, Ferreira L, Cruz V, Silva A, Szrek H
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis . 2022 Jan; 31(4):106300. PMID: 35081506
Objectives: One of the long-term rehabilitation goals in stroke survivors is to achieve the best health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study analyzes the evolution of HRQoL one-year post-stroke to...

J Hand Ther . 2021 Jul; 35(4):645-654. PMID: 34253404
Background: No specific guidelines for the management of functional electrical stimulation (FES) parameters in post stroke patients have been defined yet, despite its frequent use. The purpose of this study...
