Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Influence Motor Learning
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)Stroke is a widespread health-care problem that causes impairments of neural structure and function, and often limits the ability to move. Despite some spontaneous recovery and rehabilitative efforts, recovery is often ... -
Development of an Objective Measure of Cognitive Workload for Rehabilitation Using Electroencephalography (EEG)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)The purpose of rehabilitation following a neurological injury is to reduce impairments, maximize functional abilities, and enhance quality of life. As a part of rehabilitation, patient is assigned a rehabilitation task, ... -
An Exploration of the Influence of Activity and Occupation on Recovery from a Surgically Treated Distal Radius Fracture
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)A distal radius fracture is a common injury of the upper limb. Distal radius fractures can result in wrist stiffness, sensorimotor impairment, and activity limitations that can persist for weeks or months following injury. ... -
Rewiring the Brain After Stroke: A Novel Neuromodulatory Intervention to Improve Neuromuscular Control
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)A stroke can have devastating consequences for an individual’s gait and mobility, and difficulties often continue well after discharge from rehabilitation. Increased knowledge about the role of neural plasticity in stroke ... -
Using Movement Intention EEG in Rehabilitation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Stroke causes brain injury and is a major cause of long term disability in New Zealand and across the world. Scientific evidence shows that our nervous system is plastic and adapts itself to this injury in order to recover ...
