Sensory and motor network dynamics in post-stroke fatigue

Research output: Knowledge networksPosterpeer-review

Abstract

Fatigue is one of the most common self-reported symptom after stroke. Around 85% of stroke survivors suffer from post-stroke fatigue (PSF) (De Doncker et al., 2018). PSF has a huge impact on patient’s quality of life (QoL), activities of daily living (ADL), and also interferes with social aspects (Pollock et al., 2014, Vecchio et al., 2017).

Electrophysiological studies of oscillations have shown that fatigue might be linked to interruption of neuronal networks involved in attentional processes (Staub & Bogousslavsky, 2001). Connectivity-based measurements are used to better understand the complexity of neuronal networks.

Graph theory is a mathematical approach to the functional brain architecture. Graph theory measures the clustering coefficient C and the path length (coefficient L) (Vecchio et al., 2017; Bernhardt, Bonilha & Gross, 2015). Small- world (SW) index is the ratio between these two measurements and describes the balance between the local connections and the global integration of a network.
