Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the feasibility levels and advantages of balance tests applied with tele-assessment methods to clinical application methods in stroke patients and to reveal their effectiveness.
Participants in this study will help test and develop a virtual reality (VR) system that is being designed to help people with spatial neglect after stroke.
There is a paucity of research on the correlation between postural control and upper extremity function. Analyzing the mechanisms of postural deficits and related problems is believed to give idea for any conceivable advance in future rehabilitation strategies in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of scapular exercises on the scapular stability and trunk control. We hypothesized that scapular exercises correct the scapular position and improve postural control. Hence the reaching out movement can be applied in a controlled and fluent manner at the end of the treatment.
Stroke is a major public health issue in developed countries. A full etiological work up within a short time is critical to implement the appropriate preventive treatment. The etiological work up is actually based on a clinical examination and on a group of paraclinical examinations. The realization of the standard strategy is time consuming, and increase the cost of the medical care. A non-invasive one-shot examination of the heart, the aorta and the cervical and intracranial arteries (cci-MRI) could overcome these disadvantages.The investigator therefore propose to carry out an overall assessment of the performance of the cci-MR in the etiological work up of ischemic strokes and TIAs compared to the reference strategy
The CAMAROS trial is a randomized controlled phase II trial analyzing the effect of coupling a C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonist, Maraviroc (Celsentri), and exercise to improve both upper and lower extremity recovery after a stroke.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is known to be an effective modality in assessing cardiac function as well as the structure of the heart. It was estimated that between 15% and 30% of ischemic strokes were due to a cardioembolic source, Therefore, TTE has been assumed as an important screening tool in patients with ischemic stroke, as atrial fibrillation is one of the leading risk factors. However, current guidelines have little evidence in whether performing TTE can alter clinical management and prevent a future stroke. We aim to present the association of performing TTE and clinical outcomes in stroke patients.
The project aims to implement workstations for mobility training during intensive inpatient rehabilitation to increase the level of motor activity of individuals with hemiparesis due to stroke
The functional prognosis of patients with ischaemic stroke treated by thrombolysis and thrombectomy is associated with complete reperfusion of the occluded artery defined by an mTICI 2C or 3 score at the end of thrombectomy. However, this complete reperfusion is only obtained in 60% of patients. Most often, incomplete reperfusion is due to the persistence of distal occlusions, which are inaccessible to mechanical thrombectomy. Drug treatment, combined with thrombectomy to increase the rate of complete reperfusion, would be a major advance in the management of these patients. This is a non-randomized, monocentric, open-label, phase II trial to evaluate efficacy of dornase alfa intravenous administration in patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis and eligible for thrombectomy for ischemic stroke of the anterior circulation.
A study to investigate how stroke is identified and whether FAST, face-arm-speech test, is used in the emergency medical dispatch centre in Stockholm. The study will also investigate when FAST is used, does it increase the identification of stroke? And if other factors can be identified as "markers" for more effective identification of stroke during the emergency call.
The intracerebral hemorrhage study is a multicenter , combination of prospective and retrospective observational cohort study led by Dr. Muhammad Junaid Akram, PhD scholar at Chongqing Medical University. Prof Dr. Qi Li will be the senior consultant for the study. The study will be focusing on natural history, epidemiological , radiological, rehabilitative and clinical aspects as well as the effect of various treatments on the hemorrhagic patients. The study related data of the patients diagnosed with intracerebral hemorrhage will be collected in prospective and retrospective ways. The prognostic data for the patients will be assembled and collected via using different outcome measures at different points of time.
