Filter by:The objective of the proposal is to determine the feasibility of implementing Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) methods to enhance adherence for a 4-week self-initiated arm training protocol. A non-randomized feasibility study using a 4-week UE training protocol will be conducted in 15 individuals within the first 12 months post-stroke living in the community. EMA data will be collected using a mobile app to automate real-time collection of adherence data on a daily basis. MI will be used to produce self-generated training plans (training goals, training schedule), guided by the therapist before the start of training.
The purpose of these case studies is to determine the efficacy of the Kinesthetic Awareness Training (KAT) device in facilitating the restoration of desired movement patterns when people with acquired central nervous system damage perform functional activities such as walking, transitioning from one position to another, or reaching with the arms.
To observe the effect of different antithrombotic drugs on the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients with cerebral microbleeds. And further combined with proteomic methods to explore serological markers that can be used to accurately predict the prognosis of such patients.
Disability due to neurological diseases is increasing in our country and world. With regular physiotherapy and rehabilitation, as well as patients' symptoms are brought under control, their affected functions in daily life are achieved and levels of independence and physical activity increase. Thus, the patients' quality of life and participation in social life is improved and patients are supported in physical, social and psychological terms. In recent years, it has been reported that exercise with telerehabilitation systems increase the compliance and participation of patients to the treatment, and even this system seems as effective as standard rehabilitation practices. Delivering the treatment through telerehabilitation system when that patients cannot receive it in the hospital due to epidemic, restriction, transfer difficulties, personal and environmental limitations will enable patients to receive the rehabilitation services.Telerehabilitation system is frequently encountered in the abroad, but there are limited systems with Turkish version specific to this patient group in our country. The aim of project is to develop and detect the efficiency of a telerehabilitation system which is used to assess, follow and design home-based rehabilitation program among individuals with chronic neurological diseases who have difficulty in participating in physiotherapy and rehabilitation services because of personal or environmental reasons.
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has shown its effectiveness for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) related to large vessel occlusion and rapidly became a cornerstone in the management of these patients. No strong evidence is available on the benefit of MT in AIS related to more distal occlusions. Some previous observational studies suggested a possible benefit but most of them were single-centre and retrospective studies providing a very low level of evidence. To date, no randomized controlled trial has been conducted in this indication, which represents 10% to 20% of all AIS involving intracranial vessel occlusions. This research is a multicenter open randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups : best medical treatment alone VS mechanical trombectomy + best medical treatment.
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the main causes of disability and loss of quality adjusted life years. This study is to analyze whether endovascular therapy (EVT) in addition to best medical treatment (BMT) reduces the degree of disability and dependency in daily activities after a Medium Vessel Occlusion (MeVO) stroke compared to BMT alone.
Adults with stroke-related disability spend more time sedentary than adults without stroke-related disability, which places them at risk for poor cardiovascular health outcomes. Few interventions are designed to reduce post-stroke sedentary time. The purpose of this research is to test whether the teleABLE (Activating Behavior for Lasting Engagement) Intervention is feasible and acceptable to adults within the first 12 months post-stroke. The hypothesis is that teleABLE can be feasibly delivered using videoconferencing within the first 12 months post-stroke. 10 participants will complete assessments and activity monitoring (activPAL micro3) at 0 (baseline) and 8 (post-intervention)-weeks. Participants will complete 12 sessions of the teleABLE intervention. Findings from this study will be used to guide the intervention protocol in the planned next phase of this research.
Mindfulness is promising for individuals with neurological disorders and caregivers to improve psychological well-being. This study aims to determine the extent to which a 3-week online mindfulness intervention will improve quality of life and psychological well-being for chronic stroke survivors and their caregivers, compared to a waitlist control.
This research is based on clinic treatment of intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute ischemic stroke.By building up a database of these patients, the investigators aim to find some significance between groups by analyzing population information, clinical status and such for better evaluation and optimal treatment decision.
In this multi-center prospective observational study within a cohort of symptomatic cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis (sCAS) patients, 850 subjects were planed to be enrolled to explore the relationship between cerebral autoregulation (CA) and stroke recurrence, determine the threshold values of CA parameter for predicting stroke recurrence associated with particular stenosis.
