Comparison of the effects of cycling functional electrical stimulation and conservative rehabilitation therapy on the functional status and muscle characteristics of stroke patients
Muscle strength can be defined as the ability of skeletal muscle to develop force for the purpose of providing stability and mobility within the musculoskeletal system, so that functional movement can take place.
Hemiplegia is a disease with many complications in its clinical course. One of these complications is respiratory dysfunction. It is aimed to determine the respiratory function problems of patients with hemiplegia and to eliminate the problems by using neurophysiological facilitation techniques. Restrictive and obstructive pulmonary dysfunction occurs in hemiplegic patients. Decreased movement in the thorax, decreased respiratory muscle strength, changes in muscle tone, and changes in the central nervous system cause restrictive respiratory disorders. A significant decrease is observed in FEV1(Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second), FEV1%, FVC(Forced Vital Capacity), FVC% values. Alveolar ventilation is maintained through the central nervous system. For alveolar ventilation, the brain must transmit the impulse of breathing to the muscles through the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. Lesions occurring in any part of the central nervous system affect respiratory functions. Hemiplegia is a condition that affects the movement of the diaphragm. During quiet breathing, there is a significant decrease in the movement of the diaphragm. Chest expansion is reduced. In a study, it was reported that neuromuscular facilitation techniques increase short-term ventilation and are reliable techniques for people with neurological damage. When we look at the literature, there is no study showing the effects of neurophysiological facilitation techniques on respiration in hemiplegic patients. The aim of our study; To determine the effects and safety of neurophysiological facilitation techniques in terms of pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in hemiplegic patients.
Working on a vertical surface is one of the best activities children can do to make themselves more successful in many areas as an infant which builds all those foundational skills required for the all-important task of handwriting.
The study aimed to assess the effects of a virtual balance training program using the Thera-Trainer Balo (TTB) device along with conservative rehabilitation program on the clinical findings; standing, stepping, walking and balance measures; and activities of daily living in patients with stroke.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of robotic rehabilitation on balance, body control, mobility, spasticity, motor function and depression compared to traditional therapy in individuals with chronic stroke. Patients aged between 40-70 years, who applied to the Private Avrasya Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, were diagnosed with hemiplegia based on an epicrisis medical board report, were included in the study on a voluntary basis, regardless of gender. After recording the demographic and clinical information of the participants, based on the physician's decision, they were included in 2 groups: conventional treatment combined with robotic rehabilitation (n=20) and conventional treatment only (n=20). While one of the groups received traditional treatment, the other group received robotic walking training in addition to conventional treatment. Traditional treatment includes strengthening, balance, range of motion exercises and gait training applied 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Robot-assisted walking training was planned for 20 minutes, 3 days a week. As assessment methods, number of steps, the 10m Walk Test, Brunnstrom motor staging, Functional Ambulation Classification, Fugl Meyer Rating Scale (lower extremity section), Modified Ashworth Scale, Beck Depression Scale, Tinetti Balance and Gait Test, Postural Assessment Scale in Stroke Patients and Stroke Impact Scale were used. Gender, age and duration of illness showed homogeneous distribution between the groups.
Previous studies discussed the effects of music therapy and task oriented training on motor functions of stroke separately but no study is found in which effects of both techniques are studied. In this study, we are going to find the effects of task oriented training with or without music therapy.
Sensory and balance losses occur in hemiplegic patients. In some patients, sensory and balance rehabilitations may vary depending on the treatment they receive, depending on the treatment. It is a fact that the affected anatomic neuronal regions can cause different damages for each person together with interneuronal relations. This study aims to sense sensation with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to be applied to the plantar region.
This trial is a multi center, randomized, controlled, excellent effect, open and loading trial design. The subjects are randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group adopts litestepper single lower limb rehabilitation training robot walking training on the basis of routine rehabilitation management of stroke patients with hemiplegia, walking training once a day, 40 ± 5 minutes each time; The control group was treated with routine rehabilitation management of stroke patients with hemiplegia. The trial was an open design. Both researchers and subjects knew the treatment allocation and conducted three evaluations within 21 days to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of litestepper single lower limb rehabilitation training robot in the training of lower limb motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.
