Summary: This study investigates the effects of task-orientated training with the abdominal drawing-in maneuver in a sitting position on trunk control, balance, and activities of daily living in patients with chronic stroke. The results demonstrate significant improvements in trunk control, balance, and activities of daily living for the patients.

Summary: Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training is crucial for stroke recovery and reducing cardiometabolic risk factors. This study compared the effects of task-oriented circuit training (IFT) to constant-load ergometer-type exercise (CET) on cardiovascular fitness and metabolic profiles in chronic stroke survivors. Despite similar workload sustainability, CET showed greater improvements in maximal oxygen uptake compared to IFT, indicating the need for further research on the dose-response effects of task-oriented circuit training protocols in stroke recovery.

Summary: This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of dance therapy using telerehabilitation on trunk control and balance training in patients with stroke. The study found that dance therapy significantly improved trunk control and was comparable to conventional rehabilitation treatment. These results suggest that remote dance programs may be an effective alternative for stroke patients.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the brain activity changes and motor function changes in stroke patients during the early subacute period after receiving hand orthosis therapy using fNIRS technology. The results showed that the left premotor cortex, left sensorimotor cortex, and right supplementary motor cortex may be the primary regions of interest. The grip-release ring task was not suitable for achieving the research objective, and a more sensitive motor task and evaluating indicator should be used in further studies.

Summary: Feedback control using accelerometers in functional neuromuscular stimulation can enhance daily function and seated stability for individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). This study presents a method for calibrating multiple randomly oriented accelerometers and fusing their signals to measure trunk orientation. The calibration results demonstrate high accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis showed that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with task-oriented training (TOT) has a positive effect on upper limb function recovery in stroke patients. The neuro plasticizing effect of rTMS may translate into functional improvement by promoting neuro electrical signaling.

Summary: This paper proposes a modularized pre-training framework for end-to-end task-oriented dialogue systems (EToDs) to improve both accuracy and fluency. By decomposing EToDs into a generation module and a knowledge-retriever module, the authors optimize each module separately through well-designed pre-training tasks. The modular design allows for effective use of dialogue corpus, addressing the issue of insufficient training data. Experimental results demonstrate superior performance in terms of fluency and accuracy, making it the first work to explore modularized pre-training methods for EToDs.

Summary: Trunk training after stroke has been shown to improve trunk control, standing balance, and mobility. The SWEAT 2 study aimed to understand the mechanisms behind these effects and found that trunk training can lead to additional muscle synergy activation and decreased fast-twitch motor recruitment in the erector spinae muscle during walking, ultimately improving selective control and endurance of trunk musculature after sub-acute stroke.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of robot-assisted task-oriented upper limb motor training on neuroplasticity in stroke patients with different levels of dysfunction. The results showed that the training could enhance cortical activation in the prefrontal cortex and contribute to motor control and learning regularity.
