Want to improve UL rehab trials and tailor therapy? See how to use TMS to obtain MEP status within days of #stroke Video protocol with @DrMCSmith, and @Akld_DHB allstars Emma Monigatti and Ben Scrivener. Feat Jim Stinear as stroke patient, thanks Dad! jove.com/video/60665

@ClinicalNeuroph Great working on this with the team, we covered a lot of ground! Thanks for the opportunity @ClinicalNeuroph 😀

@BWhybrowPhysio @adamdobson123 @clinicalphysio @APPN_physio @AdamMeakins Nice! We use the same model to train therapists giving PREP2 predictions for upper limb outcomes after stroke. Takes time and effort to become competent and confident with these important discussions, but worth it! presto.auckland.ac.nz/delivering-pre…

Breaking Bad News in Physio Something we often get little or no training in, and yet can happen in any speciality. So what are the key steps? A thread 🧵

Great way to start the year! Our article is now out in #JNeurosci @SfNJournals doi.org/10.1523/JNEURO… Here we demonstrate that stopping can be selective, but is unlikely to improve via proactive interhemispheric influences. w/ John Cirillo, @NieuwenhuysArne & @MyPlasticBrain

@LeoFurlanPhD @kate_hayward_ @dr_nickward @blamlab @laboyd47 PREP2 defines MEP +/- status within 7d of stroke and predicts 90d UL outcome in four ARAT categories. DM if you want a convo about “paradoxically high” FM, at the time of testing? When after stroke?

What's the rate o MEP (-) patients who score (paradoxically?) high on Fugl-Meyer (UL)? There's variability in response to TMS and no criteria for defining someone as MEP (-/+). But how many MEP (-)s with high FM should we expect? @kate_hayward_ @dr_nickward @blamlab @laboyd47

What are TMS responses actually telling us? Independent modulation of early/late TMS responses by postural challenge suggest insights into the excitability of non-corticospinal pathways. #openaccess rdcu.be/cVZEa

Stare at the white dot for 10 seconds, then look at Van Gogh's Starry Night RT when it works for you.

Great work @SarahMoorePhys 😊🙌🏻

@ASNRehab @AucklandUni @FMHS_UoA @ExerciseSci_UoA @cbrnewzealand Loved working on this with you @DrMCSmith ! External validation under way 😊👍🏻

The Time to Walk Independently after STroke (TWIST) tool accurately predicted the probability of individual #patients achieving independent #walking at different time points after #stroke. This has potential applications for #rehab and discharge planning. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

We're hiring! @sskphdpt and I seek a highly-organized, experienced research assistant on an NIH-funded study of arm non-use in stroke. Study includes virtual reality, cognitive/motor assessment, and advanced neuroimaging. Apply with CV to rand.williamson@jefferson.edu. Please RT.

And looks like the number of scholarships will also go up, from 200 to 225 each year 😊 @AucklandUni 👍

Saddened by this news. Ying-Zu Huang was a warm and generous man and incredibly influential in the field of brain stimulation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks @MindMazeTech and @HRCNewZealand for this amazing opportunity to offer New Zealanders a cutting edge rehabilitation experience based on the latest #neuroscience to improve outcomes after #stroke. Huge team effort with @StrokeScience @blamlab and many many others.

For #StrokeAwarenessMonth, we highlight @cjstagg & @IoanaGrigoras4’s recommendation of this meta-analysis by @StrokeScience published in @brainstimj that helps to better understand the pathophysiology of #stroke. #strokemonth #MakeMayPurple facultyopinions.com/prime/72748752…

So excited to be working with you! 🔥🔥🔥

Ready to expand the #PhD group. Fully funded #PhDposition available to explore future of #tinnitus healthcare. Open to disciplines @AudiologyAust @LGr8tz @shermin_lim @SarkicBojana @BaminiGopinath @KatPenno @Flinders @NALresearch @UniversitySA DM me to discuss more @FlindersCNHS
