Filter by:To examine the feasibility of Low-Volume Interval Training (LV-ITT) and Resistance Exercise (RE) on walking performance (walking endurance, gait speed, functional balance), lower limb muscle strength and quality of life among individuals with post-stroke.
This is a pilot, monocentric clinical investigation to evaluate the suitability of StrokeWave in distinguishing haemorragic from ischaemic strokes. The StrokeWave is a microwave device which employs a novel technique to generate images by processing very low power (<1mW) microwaves. The trial design has been developed in order not to interfere with thw standard diagnostic approach used for the hyperacute stroke patients, nor to modify the usual standard timing of the routine assessment.
This cluster randomization study aims to compare the village-doctor led telemedicine integrated care versus usual care to improve compliance with the Atrial Fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway components and outcomes for older patients with atrial fibrillation in rural China.
The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in physiological parameters and clinical scales resulting from treatment with AOT (action observation training) in subjects with subacute stroke. Furthermore, this study assess the perception of applicability and satisfaction degree for this kind of treatments.
In 2020, IntraCerebral Haemorraghe (ICH) remains the most devastating type of stroke. Besides stroke unit care, no specific treatment has been proven effective yet. Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) could be a promising therapeutic target. However, the mechanisms, the natural history as well as the clinical impact of this PHO remain unclear. The COPITCH study has been designed to answer these questions
The knowledge of the pathogenesis of retinal affections, a major cause of blindness, has greatly benefited from recent advances in retinal imaging. However, optical aberrations of the ocular media limit the resolution that can be achieved by current techniques. The use of an adaptive optics system improves the resolution of ophthalmoscopes by several orders of magnitude, allowing the visualization of many retinal microstructures: photoreceptors, vessels, bundles of nerve fibers. Recently, the development of the coupling of the two main imaging techniques, the Adaptive Optics Ophthalmoscope with Optical Coherence Tomography, enables unparalleled three-dimensional in vivo cell-scale imaging, while remaining comfortable for the patients. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the performance of this system for imaging micrometric retinal structures.
Stroke represents one of the main causes of adult disability and will be one of the main contributors to the burden of disease in 2030. However, the healthcare systems are not able to respond to the current demand let alone its future increase. There is a need to deploy new approaches that advance current rehabilitation methods and enhance their efficiency. One of the latest approaches used for the rehabilitation of a wide range of deficits of the nervous system is based on virtual reality (VR) applications, which combine training scenarios with dedicated interface devices. Market drivers exist for new ICT based treatment solutions. IBEC/ Eodyne Systems has developed and commercialised the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS), a science-based ICT solution for neurorehabilitation combining brain theory, AI, cloud computing and virtual reality and targeting motor and cognitive recovery after stroke. RGS provides a continuum of evaluations and therapeutic solutions that accompany the patient from the clinic to the therapy centre. RGS has been clinically validated showing its superiority over other products while reducing cost also through its use of standard off-the-shelf hardware and a Software as a Service model (SaaS). Commercial evaluations have shown that RGS acts as a workforce multiplier while delivering a high quality of care at clinical centres (RGS@Clinic). However, in order to achieve significant benefits in the patients' QoL, it is essential that RGS becomes an at home solution providing 24/7 monitoring and care. For this reason, this project aims at investigating the RGS acceptability and adoption model. The findings derived from this study will contribute to establish a novel and superior neurorehabilitation paradigm that can accelerate the recovery of hemiparetic stroke patients. Besides the clinical impact, such achievement could have relevant socioeconomic impact.
This observational study as an objective of characterizing the population of patients treated within the neurovascular unit of the Pierre Wertheimer hospital (Hospices Civils de Lyon) in order to determine their phenotype (age, sex, risk factors, etc.) and its evolution over time. It also aims to assess the management of ischemic stroke (IS) in the neurovascular unit of Pierre Wertheimer Hospital. We will assess in particular the pre-hospital and hospital care times, the type of medical care (thrombolysis and / or thrombectomy) as well as the efficiency of this care (effective recanalization, outcome of patient, etc.).
This quasi experimental design study aims to examine the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a home hazard management program to reduce the rate of falls and fear of falling among Malaysian community dwelling stroke survivors. This study will be conducted in three local government hospitals in central Malaysia.
This project seeks to evaluate the acceptability feasibility, practicality feasibility, and preliminary effect of combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and metacognitive strategy training (MCST) in individuals with chronic stroke.
