Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to assess differences in the metabolic consumption, the cardiorespiratory effort, the cardiac autonomic adaptation, and fatigability during ADL, such as standing from a chair and walking while wearing an electrically powered exoskeleton in different modes of supports in subjects with neurological diseases with moderate to severe walking impairments.
To determine the effect of gait training with auditory stimuli on dynamic balance, gait and functional independence on chronic stroke.
Despite increasingly effective early treatment strategies for ischemic stroke, post-stroke recovery is often incomplete and depend on spontaneous and therapeutic-induced processes related to neuroplasticity, angiogenesis and reperfusion. These processes are regulated by growth factors, neurotrophines, neurotransmitters, hormones and other factors. This study aims to search biomarkers that prognose brain repair ability and consequently estimate an outcome of stroke patients. The prognostic value of proteins VEGF, IGF-1 and MMP-9 and expression of genes VEGF, IGF-1, MMP-9 is evaluated in association with clinical scales including cognitive assessment scales and depression scales. Blood sample collection as well as scales recording are taken at baseline and 3 weeks later after rehabilitation.
The aim of our study is to objectively and clearly determine the differences between the Spasticity and Decreased Functionality in the Upper Extremity Flexor Group Muscles After Stroke, the Vibration, mBZHT and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Applications in terms of treatment process and effectiveness, and to increase the use of the hands and upper extremities in the daily life activities of the patient.
This study aims to find out the difference in brain activity when performing upper limb exercise tasks through virtual reality-based MOTOCOG equipment for chronic stroke patients.
This study is being undertaken as part of a PhD qualification at ATU Sligo by the principal researcher Eimear Cronin. It will investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a 6 week, online, remotely supervised neuropilates programme in post stroke participants as compared to a 6 week, online, remotely supervised generalised exercise programme and a 6 week unsupervised home exercise programme
The goal of this Randomized clinical trial was to compare effectiveness of EMS versus TENS during gait training in stroke patients to improve gait and quality of life. The main question it aims to answer was: • To compare effectiveness of EMS versus TENS during gait training in post stroke survivors to improve gait and quality of life Participants were given consent form and after subjects read and sign the informed consent, they were included in study according to eligibility criteria. 2 groups were included in study, one group received stimulation through TENS and other through EMS. Both groups received exercise protocol and stimulation would be provided only during gait training. Outcome was measured through different outcome measure tools.
It is a retrospective cross-sectional study, where consecutive stroke patients with vessel occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) will be included for the study for one year. The relation of Susceptibility vascular sign (SVS) on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) with risk factors and territory involved and length of thrombus will correlated with the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS).Among total number of patients included in this study the demographics of the patients will be calculated. Risk factors for stroke of the patients included in this study will tabulated. The site of occlusion will be tabulated. The mean NIHSS scale will be calculated. Presence of SVS in patients with MR angiography positive vessel occlusion will be calculate in percentage. Subgroup analysis of presence of SVS on SWI will be done. The mean length of the thrombus will be calculated in these patients with positive SVS. Correlation between SVS on SWI with the risk factor of the patient by using the chi-square test will be calculated. A Chi-square test will be done to find out the correlation between the SVS with territorial occlusion. The correlation between the NIHSS score and length of thrombus will be calculated using the Pearson test. SWI can be useful in identifying the location of the thrombus, and NIHSS can determine the thrombus length in acute stroke. A higher incidence of SVS can be associated with risk factors and it also depends upon the site of occlusion of the vessel.
The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility of a virtual rehabilitation program in stroke patients and to assess treatment effects, patient goal attainment with self-guided rehabilitation activities, barriers to and facilitators of telerehab, hospital readmission events, and social determinants of health
This study aims to investigate whether a live stream video between the on-call neurologist and the emergency medical services is feasible.
