Filter by:The main objective of the present study was to compare the effects of exoskeleton devices used in electromechanical-assisted gait training after stroke compared to over ground conventional physical therapy in a single blind research. The second objective is to research when the devices can be used with the best chance of success in the functional recovery of gait in people who are unable to walk independently after stroke.
Impaired speech production is a major obstacle to full participation in life roles by stroke survivors with aphasia and apraxia of speech. The proposed study will demonstrate the short-term effects of auditory masking on speech disfluencies and identify individual factors that predict a positive response, enabling future work to develop auditory masking as a treatment adjuvant targeting long-term improvement in speech. Providing an additional treatment option for adults with aphasia and apraxia of speech will have the clear benefit of improving quality of life and allowing individuals to participate more actively in their health care decisions through improved communication.
Dysphagia is one of severe complications among stroke survivors. Dysphagia is usually associated with high levels of morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. In recent years, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise to facilitate poststroke dysphagia. However, most researches were preliminary studies in the past. The present study aims to investigate the immediate and long-term efficacy of high frequency rTMS on chronic dysphagic patients.
The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of telemedicine consultation system in making decision on IV thrombolysis.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of IS and BS on dynamics ventilatory and asymmetry of the chest wall in patients after stroke .
The purpose of this study is to investigate if acupuncture is more effective than sham treatment in reducing lower extremity spasticity, and improving gait speed in the chronic phase of stroke recovery.
The present study aims to compare the relative therapeutic efficacy of prism adaptation therapy combined with real versus sham tDCS. The investigators will test the hypothesis that the magnitude and duration of neglect improvement will be increased when prism therapy is combined with real tDCS compared to sham tDCS. A second objective is to test whether individual differences in baseline clinical or brain imaging measures can predict: 1) neglect severity or 2) inter-individual differences in patients' therapeutic response. A third goal is to use brain imaging to characterize the patterns of neural change induced by the intervention to identify brain structures that mediate therapeutic response.
The objective of this trial is to visualize blood brain barrier function and metabolic changes in the first days after ischemic stroke with new investigational MRI sequences.
The aim of this study is to investigate the proportion of patients with moyamoya disease among the patients who were diagnosed as having intracranial atherosclerotic stroke. To do this, biomarkers (gene and imaging) for moyamoya disease are tested and follow up angiography are performed during follow up (in selected patients).
To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with the Pilates Method in postural alignment and its correlation with the respiratory capacity of individuals with hemiparesis, with the aid of biomedical instrumentation, comparing the method performed in soil and therapy pool.
