Filter by:The trunk is the key point of the body. Proximal trunk control is essential for distal extremity movements, balance and functional activities. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship of trunk control with balance, upper extremity and lower extremity functions in stroke patients.
To observe the clinical efficacy of TCM acupuncture combined with western medicine nimodipine for prevention of post-stroke dementia by comparing with clinical conventional treatment methods.
This study is to investigate the predictors of post-stroke delirium, develop and validate a nomogram of post-stroke delirium in the ischemic stroke patients.
To observe the safety and efficacy of intensive drug therapy for ischemic stroke caused by severe intracranial arterial stenosis.Patients with acute stroke caused by intracranial arterial stenosis (stenosis rate ≥70%) were enrolled and accept dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin 100 mg/d and clopidogrel 75 mg/d for 90 days, followed by aspirin 100 mg/d for long term) under the guidance of platelet function analysis (Verifynow) combined with the intensive statin therapy (40 mg/d for 14 days, followed by 20 mg/d for long term).
Stroke is a common global health-care problem that is serious and disabling. In high-income countries, stroke is the third most common cause of death and is the main cause of acquired adult disability. The most common and widely recognised impairment caused by stroke is motor impairment, in function. Measuring motor recovery can assist the clinician in diagnosis, selection of the most appropriate therapy, and outcome measurement. To date, different functional scales measuring motor recovery have been developed and used in stroke. However, only a few are specifically designed for stroke patients. The Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement(STREAM) and Rivermead Motor Assessment(RMA) are the most commonly used for measuring motor recovery in stroke patients. To be clinically useful, a scale must be scientifically sound in terms of 3 basic psychometric properties: reliability, validity, and responsiveness. The objective of this study will be to compare the three clinical motor recovery measures, The Fugl-Meyer assessment motor domain (FMA-M) and mobility subscale of The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) and Rivermead Motor Assessment (RMA), in stroke patients with a broad range of neurological and functional impairment from the acute stage up to 120 days after onset. stroke patients will be followed up prospectively with the 3 measures 30,60,90, and 120 days after stroke onset (DAS). Reliability (interrater reliability and internal consistency) and validity (concurrent validity, convergent validity, and predictive validity) of each measure will be examined. A comparison of the responsiveness of each of the 3 measures will be made on the basis of the entire group of patients. the degrees of responsiveness of the 3 balance measures will be calculated on the basis of the changes occurring between 30 to 60, 60 to90, and 90 to 120, and 30 to 120 DAS. Collected data will be analyzed by using spss 21.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of the robotic hand exoskeleton, on the spasticity, motor control skills, level of daily living activity, quality of life and functional independence of stroke patients.
It will be a randomized control trial with 112 patients which will be divided into two groups of 56 patients in each group. Participants will recruit through convenient sampling techniques. Outcome measures are range of motion and spasticity. The protocol was implemented three days per week for eight consecutive weeks. Data will be collected at baseline and 8 th week after intervention.
To find out the impact of app-based cognitive training on upper extremity function in patients with sub-acute stroke.
Many rehabilitation strategies are being implemented to treat stroke. Constraint-induced movement therapy and robotics are two potentially useful treatment options for rehabilitation. Range of motion exercises, PNF, mirror therapy is also used. Fitness training, high-intensity treatment, and repetitive-task training are all promising strategies that might help improve elements of gait. Repeated task training may also help with transfer functions
To determine the effects of bilateral versus unilateral lower limb training on balance and gait parameters in stroke patients
