Early screening of post-stroke fall risk: A simultaneous multimodal fNIRs-EMG study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and disability, and poststroke falls (PSF) are common at all stages after stroke and could even lead to injuries or death. Brain information from functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) may precede conventional imaging and clinical symptoms but has not been systematically considered in PSF risk prediction. This study investigated the difference in brain activation between stroke patients and healthy subjects, and this study was aimed to explore fNIRs biomarkers for early screening of PSF risk by comparing the brain activation in patients at and not at PSF risk.

Methods

In this study, we explored the differences in brain activation and connectivity between stroke and healthy subjects by synchronizing the detection of
