Optokinetic chart stimulation prevents long term arm paralysis after stroke.

What is it about?

Three years after their strokes, people treated with optokinetic chart stimulation did not have unrecovered arm paralysis when compared to similar people treated with usual neurorehabilitation. None of the people treated with optokinetic chart stimulation developed clawing of hands compared to 75% of those treated with usual neurorehabilitation.

Why is it important?

Research has always shown that treatments that do not work at the brain level have little impact on development of rigid deformities after stroke. This paper is important in giving proof of concept evidence for brain based non-invasive natural stimulation from optokinetic chart stimulation.
