The neuroanatomy of active hand movement in patients with severe traumatic brain injury: Analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data by T. S. Mukhina, E. V. Sharova, G. N. Boldyreva, L. A. Zhavoronkova, A. S. Smirnov, M. A. Kulikov, E. V. Aleksandrova, M. V. Chelyapina, E. L. Masherov, I. N. Pronin

“…The results of the study clarify the existing ideas about the neurophysiological mechanisms of motor impairment and compensation in traumatic brain injury, which is important for the development and improvement of neurorehabilitation techniques. There is evidence for the hypothesis that the extrapyramidal system may be actively involved in the compensation for post-traumatic musculoskeletal defect, which was earlier proposed by E.V. …”

Effects of different negative pressure cupping interventions on inflammatory response and motor function recovery in delayed onset muscle soreness by Xu Song, Teng Ma, XianYou Cui

“…These were assessed at the baseline and 24 h after the intervention.ResultsNPCT groups exhibited significantly lower VAS scores than the CTR group (−55 kPa: 1.57 ± 0.79 vs. 6.14 ± 0.69; P &lt; 0.05), and the efficacy was pressure-dependent (−55 kPa &gt; −4 kPa &gt; −35 kPa; P &lt; 0.01). Functional recovery was significantly improved in NPCT groups (30-meter sprint: 0.27 s; standing long jump: 0.08 m; P &lt; 0.01). …”
