摘要:

步态异常是严重影响脑卒中后康复的问题。非侵袭性脑刺激可增强神经可塑性,并有改善脑卒中后步态的作用,然而干预效果的个体差异也是不容忽视的。我们首先综述了人类步态的神经生理特征及脑卒中后步态恢复中的神经可塑性特点,继而讨论了非侵袭性脑刺激增强脑卒中后神经可塑性的可行性。非侵袭性脑刺激应该与康复训练,以及其他利于神经可塑性增强的技术方法结合应用,达到促进脑卒中后步态恢复的目的。

Abstract:

Gait disorders drastically affect the quality of life of stroke survivors, making post-stroke rehabilitation an important research focus. Noninvasive brain stimulation has potential in facilitating neuroplasticity and improving post-stroke gait impairment. However, a large inter-individual variability in the response to noninvasive brain stimulation interventions has been increasingly recognized. We first review the neurophysiology of human gait and post-stroke neuroplasticity for gait recovery, and then discuss how noninvasive brain stimulation techniques could be utilized to enhance gait recovery. While post-stroke neuroplasticity for gait recovery is characterized by use-dependent plasticity, it evolves over time, is idiosyncratic, and may develop maladaptive elements. Furthermore, noninvasive brain stimulation has limited reach capability and is facilitative-only in nature. Therefore, we recommend that noninvasive brain stimulation be used adjunctively with rehabilitation training and other concurrent neuroplasticity facilitation techniques.Additionally, when noninvasive brain stimulation is applied for the rehabilitation of gait impairment in stroke survivors, stimulation montages should be customized according to the specific types of neuroplasticity found in each individual. This could be done using multiple mapping techniques.
