Untangling of Lower Limb Synergies Post Stroke
Growing evidence demonstrates unique synergistic signatures in the lower limb (LL) post-stroke, with specific across-plane and across-joint representations. While the inhibitory role of the ipsilateral hemisphere in the upper limb (UL) has been widely reported, examination of the contralesional hemisphere (CON-H) in modulating LL expressions of synergies following stroke is lacking.

An Icon’s Icon: Clarence Waldron’s Stroke Recovery
During his storied career and decades-long tenure as senior writer and editor for Jet magazine, Clarence Waldron interfaced with these icons and many more. In addition to lovingly being referred to as “the dean of arts and entertainment journalists,” Clarence, himself an icon, also is a stroke survivor. As we commemorate National Stroke Awareness Month, he generously has offered to share his story and perspectives.
