Check out this large, international study led by Dr. Alberto Esquenazi, which examines long-term goal attainment with repeated abobotulinumtoxinA injections for lower limb spasticity. The results show significant benefits during the first injection cycle for those using injection guidance. Read more: https://lnkd.in/difZv8tk

From theory-driven research to clinical treatments in neurorehabilitation
About us
Stroke, brain injury, and other central nervous system disorders can impair movement, language, information processing, and other abilities. Such disabilities result in loss of independence, substantial economic costs, and emotional burdens. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute is devoted to improving the lives of individuals with neurological disabilities through research. Research at MRRI occupies a unique position within a translational “pipeline” from basic neuroscience to clinical neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. - We perform basic research, framed by theoretical perspectives, that maintains contact with the complexities of real-world functioning and leads to advances in neurorehabilitation assessment and treatment. - We perform patient-based research that informs basic science theories of complex cognitive and motor functioning and their neural bases and on the processes of change in these systems.

This recent study, led by our Institute Faculty Member Dr. Marja-Liisa Mailend, surveyed 197 speech-language pathologists from Estonia, Finland, and Lithuania to investigate the importance of different features for diagnosing childhood apraxia of speech. Results showed that some features were universal while others were language-specific. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJKF2bBF

In a recent viewpoint article, Dr. Alberto Esquenazi and colleagues argue that spastic paresis qualifies as a neurological movement disorder, as it involves both “excess movement” and “reduced voluntary and involuntary movements.” The authors also outline potential therapeutic approaches for managing spastic paresis.

Did you know you can use our Naturalistic Action Test (NAT) to characterize how naturalistic actions (e.g., making a coffee or wrapping a gift) are impacted by neurological conditions, like traumatic brain injury or dementia? Learn more about the NAT here: https://lnkd.in/eRGMPNcf

Advances in recording real-world behavior, simulating environments in labs, and analyzing large-scale data have spurred interest in real-world #neuroscience. Our Institute Scientist in Residence, Dr. Gabriella Vigliocco and colleagues from UCL, have recently published a paper proposing an interdisciplinary framework to enhance discovery, theory, and human-centered applications.
