| Abstract | Postactivation depression is decreased in patients with spasticity and partially restored by physical exercise in spinal cord injured patients. Up until now, the possibility to modulate postactivation depression with motor training has never been explored in subjects with spasticity following brain lesions. Postactivation depression, assessed as frequency related depression of soleus H-reflex, was investigated before and after robotic-assisted gait training in a group of seven subjects with spastic hemiparesis following hemispheric stroke. Patients received three sessions per week of robotic-assisted gait training for a period of 4 weeks (12 sessions in total). Postactivation depression was measured before the treatment (T0), after the first session (T1) and after the last session (T2). Postactivation depression was quantified as the ratio between H-reflex amplitude at 1 Hz and at 0.1 Hz. The greater the 1 Hz/0.1 Hz ratio, the smaller the postactivation depression. Following robotic-assisted gait training, the 1 Hz/0.1 Hz ratio decreased from 0.79±0.26 at T0 to 0.56±0.18 at T1 and 0.58±0.13 at T2. Post hoc analysis showed a significant difference between T0 and T1 and between T0 and T2, stating an increase of postactivation depression. No significant differences were found between T1 and T2. This study provides the first demonstration that physical exercise can determine a partial normalization of postactivation depression in hemiparetic patients with spasticity following unilateral hemispheric stroke. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
