Filter by:The goal of lower limb rehabilitation after stroke is recovery of independent walking at home and in the community. Few stroke survivors achieve this goal. Suboptimal outcomes are due to the serious and intransigent nature of movement impairments caused by stroke and the scarcity of feasible and effective therapies that restore movement lost to stroke. Our team has developed a novel exercise intervention called CUped (pronounced cupid, like the Roman god) to address barriers to recovery and improve walking after stroke. CUped is so called because it compels use of the paretic limb during a movement that resembles pedaling. This project will examine safety, acceptability, and tolerance to CUped, characterize its therapeutic effects, and identify dose-response relationships. Results will provide preliminary data for an R01 to support a randomized controlled trial (RCT). CUped is designed to help stroke survivors recover lower limb movement lost to stroke, thereby improving walking. It is intended to be used as an adjunct to gait training. CUped uses a robotic technology that eliminates compensatory movements that interfere with recovery, compels use of the paretic lower limb, and targets 3 key movement impairments caused by stroke: decreased muscle output from the paretic limb, inappropriate paretic muscle timing, and abnormal interlimb coordination. Exercise is done in sitting which enables high repetition practice. Like walking, CUped requires continuous, reciprocal use of both lower limbs; effects are likely to transfer to walking. The risk-reward profile of this proposal is ideal for an R21, which is an NIH funding opportunity intended to encourage exploratory/developmental research by providing support for the early and conceptual stages of project development. CUped is a novel therapy grounded in a physiologic premise and based on prior observations from our laboratory. The investigators have pilot data suggesting that CUped fulfills its design specifications, and this study will be the first to test its therapeutic effects. In this Stage 1 rehabilitation trial, The investigators will support or quickly refute the hypothesis that CUped is safe, acceptable, and capable of eliciting a therapeutic response in stroke survivors. The investigators will also examine tolerance to CUped and dose-response effects. If our hypotheses are supported, the investigators will be poised to run an RCT to isolate the effects of CUped and compare them to standard care. Future work will investigate physiologic mechanisms underlying the effects of CUped.
The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to assess K-OCS clinical utility in participant population. The main aims: - validate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (K-OCS) - analyze its sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, and compare its examination participation rates with existing assessment tools to determine the effectiveness of K-OCS in detecting post-stroke cognitive impairment.
The study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial, lasting for 15 days for each participant. Patients with post-stroke dysphagia who receive treatment at the Rehabilitation Department are selected as the study subjects. The patients are randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the placebo group. All patients receive routine rehabilitation therapy and swallowing rehabilitation training, along with enteral nutrition support using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube. In addition to these interventions, patients in the experimental group receive transcranial direct current stimulation, while the instruments used for patients in the placebo group only illuminate an indicator light without any actual effect.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences in feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare changes in daily intake and nutritional status of two groups of patients before and after the study to see if Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube can improve the feeding amount and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients compared to Nasogastric Tube
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare Rehabilitation Therapy Compliance of ischemic stroke patients who receive enteral nutrition support through either Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube or Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly assigned to either an observation group or a control group, with both groups receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. The observation group will receive enteral nutrition support through Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube, while the control group will receive it through Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will then compare Rehabilitation Therapy Compliance of the two groups.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the psychological condition and experience of ischemic stroke patients who receive enteral nutrition support through either Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube or Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly assigned to either an observation group or a control group, with both groups receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. The observation group will receive enteral nutrition support through Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube, while the control group will receive it through Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will then compare the Social Condition and experience of the two groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences on Psychological Condition and Experience in ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare Psychological Condition and Experience of two groups.
This was a prospective multicenter study. the patients after stroke with were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. All patients were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. During the treatment, enteral nutrition support was provided for the two groups by Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding and nasogastric tube feeding, respectively. Nutritional status, dysphagia, quality of life and depression before and after treatment were compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore The Effect of Active Breathing Exercises in Stroke Patients With Respiratory Rhythm Disorder. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will be given Active Breathing Exercises. Researchers will compare dysphagia of two groups.
The goal of this observational study is to describe the evolution of gait recovery during the subacute phase of stroke up to six months after stroke, in patients hospitalized in medical and neurological rehabilitation units.
