An
account
of
the
neurobiology
of
motor
recovery
in
the
arm
and
hand
after
stroke
by
two
experts
in
the
field.Stroke
is
a
leading
cause
of
disability
in
adults
and
recovery
is
often
difficult,
with
existing
rehabilitation
therapies
largely
ineffective.
In
Broken
Movement,
John
Krakauer
and
S.
Thomas
Carmichael,
both
experts
in
the
field,
provide
an
account
of
the
neurobiology
of
motor
recovery
in
the
arm
and
hand
after
stroke.
They
cover
topics
that
range
from
behavior
to
physiology
to
cellular
and
molecular
biology.
Broken
Movement
is
the
only
accessible
single-volume
work
that
covers
motor
control
and
motor
learning
as
they
apply
to
stroke
recovery
and
combines
them
with
motor
cortical
physiology
and
molecular
biology.
The
authors
cast
a
critical
eye
at
current
frameworks
and
practices,
offer
new
recommendations
for
promoting
recovery,
and
propose
new
research
directions
for
the
study
of
brain
repair.Krakauer
and
Carmichael
discuss
such
subjects
as
the
behavioral
phenotype
of
hand
and
arm
paresis
in
human
and
non-human
primates;
the
physiology
and
anatomy
of
the
motor
system
after
stroke;
mechanisms
of
spontaneous
recovery;
the
time
course
of
early
recovery;
the
challenges
of
chronic
stroke;
and
pharmacological
and
stem
cell
therapies.
They
argue
for
a
new
approach
in
which
patients
are
subjected
to
higher
doses
and
intensities
of
rehabilitation
in
a
more
dynamic
and
enriching
environment
early
after
stroke.
Finally
they
review
the
potential
of
four
areas
to
improve
motor
recovery:
video
gaming
and
virtual
reality,
invasive
brain
stimulation,
re-opening
the
sensitive
period
after
stroke,
and
the
application
of
precision medicine.
