Study Shows How Stroke Affects Hand Function; Provides Roadmap For Rehab
A person whose hand function has been affected by a stroke can release an object more quickly when the affected arm is supported on a platform, but the support does not make it easier to grip the object, according to a new study. The study also found that active muscle-stretching exercises improved how quickly the stroke survivor could grip an object, but made release of the object more difficult. These findings show how a stroke affects hand function, and provide a roadmap for rehabilitation.

Comment On The Study 'Filaggrin Gene Defects And Risk Of Developing Allergic Sensitisation And Allergic Disorders: Systematic Review And Meta-analysis

Dr Elaine Vickers, Research Relations Manager at Asthma UK, says: "This is an important piece of research which helps to explain why the majority of children with severe eczema go on to develop asthma in later childhood, as a result of their genetic make-up. "It may help us to understand why more than a million children in the UK are affected by asthma and identify those children who are at an increased risk of developing the condition after having eczema when they were younger. "This could be a significant step forward in helping to improve the diagnosis and treatment of children with allergy-related conditions, and reducing the numbers affected." Asthma UK
