In the study, movement observation training, Modified Graded Motor Imaging Training, which includes upper extremity functional exercises, and Graded Motor Imaging Training, where the standard protocol is applied, will be used in stroke patients to improve their upper extremity motor functions and daily lives. It is aimed to present it on an evidence-based basis by investigating its effects on Daily Living Activity, quality of life, upper extremity-specific right/left lateralization performance, mental stopwatch performance and motor imagery skills.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of recursive self-feedback procedures on spontaneous speech production in stroke survivors with impaired speech production (aphasia). The main question it aims to answer is: • To what extent can stroke survivors with aphasia use their self-feedback alone to improve their spontaneous speech production? Participants will be engaged in the following activities: - They will perform language and cognitive tasks. - Afterwards, they will receive treatments using tablets and headphones at no cost to them. - The experimental treatments (recursive self-feedback procedures) entails responding to prompts, listening to playbacks of their speech response and attempt to minimize/correct the errors in the next attempt. This process will be repeated multiple times per prompt. - The experimental treatments are two: an adaptive version that adapts the complexity of the treatment prompt and a non-adaptive version that does not adapt task complexity. - Researchers will compare the experimental treatments to see if both have similar effects on improving spontaneous speech production.
The goal of this Interventional Study is to develop and test the Indian Adaptation of Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) for Indian patients in with post-stroke Non-Fluent Aphasia (PSNFA). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • To develop the MIT Indian Adaptation tool and check its feasibility • To compare the MIT with standard speech rehabilitation in patient with PSNFA. Participants will undergo Speech Rehabilitation according to the developed module and the standard treatment will be given in the comparator arm. The speech recovery at 12 weeks will be compared in both treatment arms.
A randomized, controlled, subject and rater-blind, exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for improvement of upper extremity function after stroke.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of early administration of BXOS110 for injection in reducing overall disability in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.
Patients with stroke frequently present phonation difficulties. An intervention combining myofunctional and respiratory training is presented in order to improve phonation outcomes.
Weight loss interventions for neurologically health individuals have established benefits for improving physical and psychosocial function. The investigators believe that Veterans who have had a stroke would realize similar benefits and that the effects would be enhanced with concurrent exercise training. The investigators will study the effects of a 15-week lifestyle management program to determine if it can effectively improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in Veterans who have had a stroke.
Swallowing disorder in stroke patients is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality as it can cause aspiration pneumonia. Electrical stimulation has proven to be effective in post-stroke dysphagic patients.10 patients who have symptoms of post-stroke dysphagia, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate will be included in the study. Included patients will be randomized into 2 groups. The exercise program will be applied to both groups as a home program for 4 weeks.
The investigators will use 3D freehand ultrasound to investigate changes in muscle morphology of the paretic m. rectus femoris and m. gastrocnemius medialis during the first 3 months after stroke. Additionally, 2D ultrasound and surface EMG will be synchronized to examine muscle activation and morphological changes resulting from this activation. Clinical tests will be conducted on the same test occasions to objectify lower limb impairment and gait recovery. As such, the investigators will explore the relationship between the muscle specific changes and functional recovery.
