Filter by:We enrolled patients with subacute IS, associated with moderate-to-severe stenosis of the unilateral cervical internal carotid artery, who underwent 4D ASL. Perfusion levels and collateral circulation were compared between groups with favorable prognosis (modified Rankin scale [mRS] ≤ 2) and poor prognosis (mRS > 2).
The purpose of this study was to study factors for controlling hypertension or type 2 diabetes before stroke diagnosis on the severity level when a stroke occurs, NIHSS, and survival rate after having a stroke in 1 year in Trat Province The research hypothesis was patients with hypertension or type 2 diabetes who are well-controlled Will have a lower NIHSS score than the group whose disease is not well-controlled. and patients with hypertension or type 2 diabetes that is well controlled There will be a higher survival rate for patients diagnosed with cerebrovascular disease within 1 year than those whose disease cannot be controlled.
Aim: Studies in which the results of the screening test evaluating swallowing skills in acute stroke patients are evaluated together with other components that may affect swallowing function are limited. The aim of this study is to determine which factors are associated with swallowing abilities in patients with acute stroke, including lesion location, cognitive level, clinical features, risk factors for stroke, and level of functionality. Methods: The 97 acute stroke patients included in the study were grouped in terms of lesion type, affected side, and risk factors for stroke. Turkish MMASA (TR-MMASA) was used to evaluate the swallowing ability of the patients. Additionally, Standardized Mini Mental Test (SMMT) and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) were applied to evaluate cognition level and functionality, respectively.
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. High doses of repeated task-specific practice have shown promising results in restoring upper limb function in chronic stroke (>6 months after onset). However, it is currently challenging to provide such doses in standard clinical practice. At-home telerehabilitation services supervised by a clinician are a potential solution to provide higher-dose interventions. However, telerehabilitation systems developed for repeated task-specific practice typically require a minimum level of active movement. Therefore, severely impaired people necessitate alternative therapeutic approaches. Measurement and feedback of electrical muscle activity via electromyography (EMG) have been previously implemented in the presence of minimal or no volitional movement to improve motor performance in people with stroke. Specifically, muscle neurofeedback training to reduce unintended co-contractions of the impaired hand may be a targeted intervention to improve motor control in severely impaired populations. In this study, we examine the effects of a low-cost, portable, and modular EMG biofeedback system (Tele-REINVENT) for supervised and unsupervised upper limb telerehabilitation after stroke during a 6-week home-based training program that reinforces activity of the wrist extensor muscles while avoiding coactivation of flexor muscles via computer games.
The aim of the study is to examine the impact of motor imagery, Erigo®Pro tilt table intervention, and classic rehabilitation on the balance of people after a stroke.
It was planned in a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized control group. The study was planned to be completed in three stages: control, preparation and intervention periods. Question 1: Does a safe nutrition program prevent aspiration pneumonia, dehydration and malnutrition in acute stroke patients with dysphagia? Question 2: Is the safe nutrition program effective on addiction level, quality of life and depression in acute stroke patients with dysphagia? Question 3: Does a safe nutrition program shorten the hospital stay and NG tube duration in acute stroke patients with dysphagia?
To evaluate the effect of core stability exercise on symmetrical weight bearing in chronic stroke patients?
Patients in the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit (ICCU) often present with cardiovascular disease (CVD) issues accompanied by various non-cardiovascular conditions. However, a widely applicable scoring system to predict patient outcomes in the ICCU is lacking. Therefore, developing and validating scores for predicting ICCU patient outcomes are warranted. The aims of the IndONEsia ICCU (One ICCU) registry include developing an epidemiological registry of ICCU patients and establishing a multicentre research network to analyse patient outcomes.This nationwide multicenter cohort will capture data from patients receiving cardiovascular critical care treatment in 10 Indonesian hospitals with ICCU facilities. Recorded data will encompass demographic characteristics, physical examination findings at hospital and ICCU admission, diagnoses at ICCU admission, therapy, intervention, complications on days 3 and 5 of in-ICCU care, in-hospital outcomes, and 30-day outcomes. The One ICCU is a large, prospective registry describing the care process and advancing clinical knowledge in ICCU patients. It will serve as an investigational platform for predicting the mortality of ICCU patients.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate body composition, fatigue, mobility level, functional status in with stroke individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: How is body composition affected in individuals with stroke? How is the level of fatigue affected in individuals with stroke? How is the mobility level affected in individuals with stroke? How is functional status affected in individuals with stroke? In this study, we included 21 patients with stroke and 21 healthy controls. The body composition of the participants was evaluated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), fatigue level by Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), mobility level by Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and functional status by Functional Independence Scale (FIM).
