Filter by:Asymmetric gait patterns of stroke is one of the most important functional activities to enable community participation, it is major goal for stroke patients. Reported that the stroke patients had asymmetry at stance time, single stance, double support time, and swing time compared to normal people, and claimed that the most important factor was step length. According to Albert et al., patients with an asymmetric gait pattern have a long double support phase and a healthy side single support phase, and less weight shift to the affected side. Recent studies have shown that visual feedback for weight shift may be helpful to obtain a symmetrical posture after stroke. However, no study has been conducted on the therapeutic effect on gait asymmetry and patterns. We aimed to investigate the effect of Anterioposterior Weight Shifting Training with Visual Biofeedback in subacute post-stroke patients on gait asymmetry and pattern. 40 subacute post-stroke patients with Step Length Asymmetry were enrolled in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. The training group received an additional anterioposterior weight shifting training with visual Biofeedback 5 times per week for 4weeks. The control group received the usual gait training. The spatiotemporal and kinematic data were obtained during walking through 3D motion analysis. Functional Ambulation Category, Self-selected walking speed, Maximum safe walking speed, Berg balance Test (BBT), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Medical Research Council Score (MRC), Functional Independent Measure-mobility, Timed Up and Go test (TUG) were assessed at pre, during, post- training, and 4week follow-up. Those were compared between two groups by repeated measures ANOVA.
The cerebral collateral circulation refers to the subsidiary network of vascular channels that stabilize cerebral blood flow when principal conduits fail. Collateral status differs among patients with acute ischemic stroke. Relatively sparse attention has been devoted to the role of baseline collateral circulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are candidates for revascularization. This study aim to investigate the correlation between baseline collateral circulation and the likelihood of opening of an arterial occlusion, the extent of reperfusion, tissue injury and clinical impairment.
In an innovative approach, a full body suit with multiple electrodes for provision off electrical stimulation has been developed by a Swedish Med-tech company. Based on theoretical background and clinical experience, this study will explore the potential value of the EXOPULSE Mollii suit-method in the management of post stroke shoulder pain. The overall aim of this study is to test and further develop the Mollii-suit for its ability to reduce hemiplegic shoulder pain. The specific aims are 1) to compare the effect of different stimulation modes for shoulder pain reduction 2) to explore which patients will respond best to these.
Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of NR1 administered intracerebrally at a single time-point post-injury to subjects with chronic ISS with or without cortical stroke.
Proof-of concept clinical trials have indicated that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator fingolimod may be efficacious in attenuating brain inflammation and improving clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke as a single therapy beyond 4.5 hours of disease onset, or in combination with alteplase within 4.5 hours of disease onset. This study aim to determine whether fingolimod enhance the action of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of drug coated balloon in treatment of intracranial in-stent restenosis.
In this research study, the investigators aim to test the usability and efficacy of the GaitBetter system for gait rehabilitation after stroke.
It is known that atrial fibrillation after stroke significantly increases the risk of stroke or systemic embolism. Accordingly, efforts have been made to detect hidden atrial fibrillation and apply treatment using anticoagulants instead of antiplatelet agents. The conventional method used to screen for atrial fibrillation in stroke patients who did not have atrial fibrillation at first admission is 24-hour Holter monitoring. This study will compare the detection rate of atrial fibrillation with discontinuous ECG monitoring three times a day and 72 hours of single-lead ECG patch monitoring compared with the conventional Holter test.
To examine the feasibility of Low-Volume Interval Training (LV-ITT) and Resistance Exercise (RE) on walking performance (walking endurance, gait speed, functional balance), lower limb muscle strength and quality of life among individuals with post-stroke.
This is a pilot, monocentric clinical investigation to evaluate the suitability of StrokeWave in distinguishing haemorragic from ischaemic strokes. The StrokeWave is a microwave device which employs a novel technique to generate images by processing very low power (<1mW) microwaves. The trial design has been developed in order not to interfere with thw standard diagnostic approach used for the hyperacute stroke patients, nor to modify the usual standard timing of the routine assessment.
