Stroke is a clinical picture that develops due to occlusion or rupture of cerebral vessels and results in loss of cerebral functions. Stroke individuals face some limitations in managing daily activities such as walking, dressing, feeding and showering. Personal, environmental, and societal limitations have led to the development of new treatment strategies, such as telerehabilitation(TR), to meet the needs of stroke individuals and their caregivers. In this study, patients will be randomized and divided into 2 groups in order to examine the effects of two different TR methods on physical parameters and activities of daily living in stroke patients. Baseline assessments will be made for both groups to determine functionality, activities of daily living, fall activity, quality of life, and level of fatigue. For 8 weeks, the TR group will do their exercises with exercise videos prepared on the system 3 times a week. The control group, on the other hand, will do their exercises with exercise brochures on the system 3 times a week for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, assessments will be repeated. With telerehabilitation to be applied to individuals with stroke, it is aimed to increase functional capacity, independence in daily living activities and quality of life, and reduce the number of falls and fatigue levels.
The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic yield of water-resistant, wireless 7-day cardiac ECG patch versus conventional 24-hour Holter recording in detecting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients admitted with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack of undetermined etiology after completion of a standard clinical stroke workup.
The proposed research will characterize of the time course of neurological and locomotor recovery as well as development of compensatory strategies throughout sub-acute and chronic phases post stroke. In addition, we will also investigate the extent to which measures of recovery and compensation are malleable and can be altered with specific interventions in both the early and late stages post-stroke. Delineation of the time course of development and magnitude of patterns of recovery and compensation should result in alternative predictive "rules' regarding how patients early post-stroke could recovery functional and neurological function.
Introduction: The progress of stroke recovery is slow and enduring. If stroke survivors are not properly managed to facilitate their rehabilitation after discharged from hospital, their risk for recurrence after an index stroke will be very high. Globally, nurse-led post-acute stroke clinics have been developed to provide tertiary care services to support stroke survivors. While synthesized evidence supports the idea that the post-stroke services delivered by nurses in the clinic can improve the functional ability and reduce the readmission rate, shortcomings of these services such as compulsory traveling time and cost, long waiting time at the clinic, and the pandemic situation limit the clinic utilization by stroke survivors. Telecare consultation is a new modality aiming to provide a new healthcare access experience to the public, though how it can be applied in nurse-led clinic and what effects it can bring about on post-stroke survivors has not been reported.
Primary objective of the study will be to compare, up to 6 months after surgery, number of relapses (post operative re-bleeding) or intracerebral hemorrhage (others than subdural hematomas) and thromboembolic or cardiovascular ischemic events, in patients undergoing surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). These data will be correlated to the suspension or not of antithrombotics or anticoagulants before surgery or their re-introduction after surgery.
This study will investigate the impact of cardiovascular exercise on brain plasticity among patients in sub-acute stages after stroke, and whether genotype modulates the response to this intervention. Participants in the experimental group will perform cardiovascular training for 8 weeks, three times/week in addition to standard therapy, while participants in the control group will perform standard therapy only. Assessments will be performed at baseline, four weeks, and 8 weeks after training.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a smart airbag system that detects and mitigates fall-related impact in individuals with high fall risk.
The primary objective of this study is to assess - through a randomized controlled trial - the effectiveness and long-term improvement of motor relearning program on balance, mobility and performance of activities of daily living among post-stroke patients. In this two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial, a total of 66 sub-acute stroke patients who meet the trial criteria will be recruited. The patients will randomly receive task-specific training based on a motor relearning program (MRP) or a conventional physical therapy program (CPT). Twenty-four rehabilitation sessions will be conducted for eight weeks. Both interventions will be followed by analysis of patients' balance, gait and performance of activates of daily living at two time period; post-intervention and follow-up after 3-months, using clinical outcome measures and instrumental analysis of balance and gait.
This study, it is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of applied modified constraint-induced movement therapy (MCIMT) with threshold electrical stimulation (TES) in addition to conventional therapy (therapeutic exercise program) in patients with stroke. Before and after the treatment program we will evaluate, the pain level of the participants measured with a visual pain scale; sensory functions with Semmes Weinstein monofilament test battery; muscle tone, and spasticity with the modified Tardieu scale and Digital Palpation Device, which has a very high proof value; functional status with Wolf motor function test and Motor Activity Log; quality of life will be assessed by Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale. Participants will be included in the study according to the inclusion criteria, the first evaluation of the participants will be made according to the evaluation parameters, and the participants will be randomly distributed into three groups. The first group will be treated with M-CIMT, the second group will be treated with MCIMT with TES for 4 weeks, and the third group will be the control group. A total of 45 participants will be included in the study.
