Filter by:To investigate, through ethnography, changes in symptom burden and disability and their effects/interference on patient functioning, ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QoL) throughout the duration of one BoNT-A treatment cycle.
Goal of this study is to develop and evaluate a physiotherapy concept that is focused on bilateral leg spasticity and aims to reduce spastic gait disturbance and to improve mobility in patients suffering from HSP.
The first aim of this study is whether the inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduce spasticity. The second aim of this study is to investigate whether the kinesio taping application have neuromodulatory activity on motor neuron and stretch reflex. Hypotheses of this study: unlike healthy cases, in patients with spastic hemiplegia 1. Inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduced spasticity 2. Inhibitory kinesio taping application can reduced motor neuron activity and stretch reflex
In this study assessing whether platelet rich plasma injections(PRP) are effective in the management hemiplegic shoulder pain, 55 patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain was recruited to this randomized controlled study. Patients were randomized into two groups, first getting PRP injections, and other group taking sham injections.
The primary purpose of this study is to show whether WBV application has antispastic effect. The secondary aim is to demonstrate whether WBV has neuromodulatory activity on increased stretch reflex and motor neuron activity, which is the basis of the pathophysiology of spasticity.Hypotheses of this study:Whole body vibration in poststroke hemiplegia reduces ankle plantar flexion spasticity. 1. WBV ; reduces plantar flexor spasticity after stroke 2. WBV decreases poststroke spasticity, by decreasing increased stretch reflex and motor neuron activity.
This study is "A Prospective, Multi-center, Single Arm, Open-label, Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MEDITOXIN® in Treatment of Post Stroke Upper Limb Spasticity".
The investigators aim to determine if dry needling technique in a non myofascial trigger point area generate the same changes in spasticity, function and pain responses as with dry needling in a myofascial trigger point area.
Functional strengthening exercises have been proven to be effective in patients with spastic cerebral palsy. However, which exercise is the most effective is unknown. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of three different progressive functional exercise programs in children with unilateral and bilateral spastic cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy, in particular in its unilateral spastic form (uCP), is the main cause of motor disability in children, with a prevalence of 2/1000 births. These children have upper limb motor impairments that hinder the realization of activities of daily life in bimanual situations. 3D motion analysis (3DMA) is an objective and precise tool, considered as the gold standard for gait analysis. The existing 3DMA protocols consist of movements too standardized, in unimanual situations away from gestures of everyday life, or have not been validated in bimanual situations. In a preliminary study, a 3DMA bimanual protocol was study. it was composed of 4 tasks integrated into a game scenario to have more spontaneity of movements, similar to those experienced by children in daily life. It allows the exploration of all degrees of freedom of the upper limb. Results showed an excellent acceptability and within day reliability on 20 uCP children and 20 typically developing children (TDC) for funct
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dry needling method in addition to neurodevelopmental therapy on spasticity, upper and lower extremity functions, balance and independence level in patients with stroke who have spasticity.
