Filter by:There are few studies on whether botulinum toxin treatment and extracorporeal shock wave therapy are more effective than botulinum toxin alone treatment for post-stroke spasticity.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an isokinetic strength training of knee flexor and extensor muscles on walking performance in hemiparetic patients with knee extension thrust.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is is estimated to be around 1.5-3 per live birth, with prenatal factors accounting for 75% of cases. CP appears in early childhood and persists with age and is characterized by permanent lesions or abnormalities affecting the immature brain. It mainly occurs as a motor system disorder (e.g., abnormal movements or posture) with the presence of hemiplegia, diplegia or tetraplegia, and spastic, dyskinetic or atactic syndromes. .This study will explore the potential clinical benefits of the Molliimethod in children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity impacts balance and mobility, halts the patients quality of life and their ability to perform their activity of daily living, and could also increase the risk of fractures and falls. Available interventions that aim on improving spasticity are facing limitations such as varios side effects. Therefore, developing novel therapies such as the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit could help to overcome such limitations and noninvasively improve balance, mobility, quality of life and reduce spasticity and pain in children with CP.
30 children with a diagnosis of hemiplegic cerebral palsy
This study aims to investigate the relationship between multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness with postural stability in patients with stroke.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality-mediated upper extremity rehabilitation added to the conventional rehabilitation program on upper extremity, quality of life, range of motion and spasticity in patients with stroke.
After a stroke, it is very common to lose the ability to open the affected hand. Occupational and physical rehabilitation therapy (OT and PT) combined with non-invasive brain stimulation may help a person recover hand movement. The purpose of this study is to compare 3 non-invasive brain stimulation protocols combined with therapy to see if they result in different amounts of recovery of hand movement after a stroke.
Over eighty percent of stroke patients experience finger-grasping dysfunction problems, compromising independence in daily life activities and quality of life. In routine training, task-oriented training is usually used for functional training of the hand, which may improve the finger grasping performance after stroke, whereby augmented therapy may lead to a better treatment outcome. Technology-supported training holds opportunities for increasing training intensity. However, most of the hand rehabilitation robots commonly used in the clinic are based on passive training mode and lacks the sensory feedback function of fingers, which is not conducive to patients completing more accurate grasping movements. The force feedback hand rehabilitation robot can make up for the above defects, but its clinical efficacy in stroke patients are not known to date. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness and added value of the force feedback hand rehabilitation robot combined with task-oriented training for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
Our objective is to examine the impact of residing in urban or rural areas on the utilization of healthcare services, self-efficacy, and quality of life among individuals with hemiplegia in Turkey.
In our study, we aimed to examine the muscles and tendons of the shoulder region on the plegic side of patients with hemiplegia by elastography and to investigate whether there is a relationship between the course of the disease and the course of the lesions that will occur in the shoulder.
