Filter by:To evaluate the effects of virtual reality-based rehabilitation (Neofect Glove) for newly diagnosed cognitively intact adult dominant hemisphere stroke patients with paresis of their hand in supplementation with conventional occupational therapy to assess whether it improves motor function and speed recovery during inpatient rehabilitation versus conventional occupational therapy alone. Also, what impact does this have on quality of life.
Post-stroke patients often present with gait disorders due to several physical impairments. Hip flexor deficit is one of the more prevalent trouble and is associated with gait capacities. This study aims at evaluating the impact of an isokinetic hip flexors strengthening rehabilitation program in the subacute phase after stroke. Patients will be randomized to an intervention group (isokinetic rehabilitation) or a control group (conventional rehabilitation) and assessed at the end of the rehabilitation program, at 3 and at 6 months.
Hemiplegia is a high prevalence pathology with 1 per 1000 habitants in France. One of these complications is shoulder pain which affects about 35 to 70% of cases. The medical care of this complication is critical because it affects the patient's quality of life and also hinders participation in rehabilitation sessions slowing the recovery of independence in activities of daily living. Literature confirmed the involvement of the scapula in the hemiplegic shoulder pain with his attitude pronounced lateral rotation. But no data to confirm that passive mobilization reduce shoulder pain. Because no data available to permit us to determine the sample size we set-up this preliminary study to check if efficiency found in these preliminary data are consistent with an estimable real efficacy in a randomized trial feasible.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of onabotulinum toxin A (BTX) injections (tone management) and dynamic splinting (contracture reduction) for improving gait patterns in patients with spastic hypertnoia due to stroke or traumatic brain injury and resultant excessive plantarflexion.
The first purpose of this study is to determine how often people should practice motor skills to best improve the ability to use the affected arm and hand after stroke. The second purpose is to determine whether it is better to practice a lot of repetitions of a few tasks or a few repetitions of many tasks during motor rehabilitation for the arm and hand after stroke.
