Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to determine the combined effects of Brunnstorm movement therapy and low level laser therapy on upper limb function in chronic stroke patient.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to check the effects of postural and kinesthetic awareness on static standing balance in chronic stoke patients. Participants will be divided into two equal groups. One group will receive routine physical therapy while other group will receive postural and kinesthetic awareness in addition to routine physical therapy.
The aim of study is to determine whether the Virtual Reality training applied in addition to the exercises given inside and outside the parallel bar is effective on balance, daily living activities and knee control in stroke patients. The hypotheses of the study are: Hypothesis 1: H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on balance in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on balance in stroke patients. Hypothesis 2; H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on activities of daily living in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on daily living activities in stroke patients. Hypothesis 3; H0: Virtual reality training has no effect on knee control in stroke patients. H1: Virtual reality training has an effect on knee control in stroke patients
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of cervical mobilization on balance and gait parameters in stroke individuals. Twenty-four stroke individuals aged 30-65 years, with a mini mental test score of 24 and above, and with a maximum score of 3 according to the modified rankin scale, were included in this study. Individuals were randomly divided into 2 groups as study (Bobath approach and cervical mobilization n=12) and control group (Bobath approach n=12). Demographic data, gait parameters, balance parameters and craniovertebral angle values of individuals were evaluated with clinical data evaluation form, Spatio-Temporal Gait Analysis (LEGSystm), Portable computerized kinesthetic balance device (SportKAT 550) and photometer, respectivelyThe evaluations were performed 2 times before and after the treatment.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of rigid taping on hyperextension control in stroke patients with knee hyperextension in the stance phase of gait. Hypothesis Ho: Rigid taping has no effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients. H1: Rigid taping has an effect on the control of knee hyperextension in stroke patients.
To determine the effect of Neurodevelopment Treatment vs Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training along with conventional therapy on lower extremity among chronic stroke patients.
The purpose of this single-blinded, randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of sling exercise training (SET) for core muscle on gait performance in people with chronic stroke.
Fatigue is a common condition after an individual has a stroke. While the negative impacts of post-stroke fatigue are well known, the knowledge of the causes of post-stroke fatigue and effective treatments for post-stroke fatigue are lacking. This small study will investigate the possible benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which uses small electrical currents supplied by a 9-volt battery, on post-stroke fatigue and investigate tDCS' possible anti-inflammatory effects.
Even in a chronic phase after stroke, most patients have difficulty moving the affected arm, resulting in limitations in simple tasks in daily living, most frequently limiting reaching task. In the chronic phase, significant improvements are usually no longer observed. Nevertheless, even these patients can still improve their functional abilities due to exercise-dependent plasticity. A new device was developed, the deXtreme robot, a rehabilitation device that offers error-enhancement approach during three-dimensional movements. The goal error-enhancement is to elicit better accuracy, stability, fluidity and range of motion during reaching. games are projected on a screen, requiring 3D active reaching movements. The duration of the study for a single participant will be 7 consecutive working days, including 1 day of pre-intervention assessment, 5 days of training and 1 day of post-intervention assessment. The overall aim of this project is to gain knowledge into the potential of error-enhancement robot training in patients with upper limb impairments in the chronic phase after stroke. Hypothesizing that the 5-day training will have a positive effect on both the robotic and clinical outcome measures.
Post-stroke spasticity in the lower extremity affects balance and gait, leading to decreased mobility and functional independence. Therefore, effective intervention for reducing spasticity is crucial in stroke rehabilitation. Recently, neurodynamics, though originally designed for pain management in orthopedic patients, has also been applied for treating spasticity in patients with neurological disorders. However, previous studies focused mainly on treating the upper extremity spasticity, but not on lower extremity spasticity, and not on possible neurophysiological changes. The present study aims to investigate the immediate effects of neurodynamics in reducing lower limb spasticity and neurophysiological changes in people with chronic stroke.
