Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment on the decrease of postural disorders, compared to the standard use of a wheelchair
The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the brief-BESTest (short BESTest) scale in stroke patients.
Every year approximately 15,000 Veterans are hospitalized for stroke, and up to 40% of those Veterans will experience stroke-related language impairment (i.e., aphasia). Stroke-induced aphasia results in increased healthcare costs and decreased quality of life. As the population of Veterans continues to age, there will be an increasing number for Veterans living with the aphasia and its consequences. Those Veterans deserve to receive aphasia treatment designed to facilitate the best possible outcomes. In the proposed study, the investigators will investigate optimal treatment intensity and predictors of treatment response for a novel word retrieval treatment. The knowledge the investigators gain will have direct implications for the selecting the right treatment approach for the right Veteran.
The aim of this study is to verify the effectiveness of foot drop stimulation (FDS) on gait rehabilitation of post-stroke subjects with mild, moderate and severe compromise.
The aim of this study is to validate a smart insoles system in comparison to the gold-standard GaitRite for a pathologic gait. The device evaluate gait parameters in real time thanks to an embedded algorithm based on the processing of inertial measurement unit and 19 sensors signals. At D0 and D7, the patient is evaluated by both the GaitRite® system and the FeetMe Monitor® system simultaneously. Hemiparetic patients have two measurements 7 days apart. The patient repeats 5 trials at a comfortable speed on the GaitRite® mat while wearing the FeetMe® insoles. Each measurement is repeated by 4 different operators. A total of 20 trials are made by the patient.
This study aims to investigate whether Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) improves rheo-erythrocrine dysfunction in acute ischemic stroke
The primary study objective is to compare post-stroke upper extremity (UE) movement while wearing a brace called the MyoPro 2 Motion G versus UE movement while wearing a resting splint and no device in stroke survivors with moderate UE dysfunction. During the study, subjects will undergo general training in the operation of the EMG-controlled orthosis and the comparison orthosis, and then guided through a series of standard clinical outcome measures. These outcome measures will allow the researchers to directly compare the relative benefit of the MyoPro 2 Motion G with a resting hand splint and no device in reducing UE impairment and increasing UE dexterity and functional task performance.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a lower extremity telerehabilitation protocol with aims to improve lower extremity recovery among community-living stroke survivors across Canada.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) are innovative treatments for patients with stroke. Therefore, the integrated therapy of rTMS and with repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulaiton (rPMS) is employed in this project. This proposal aims at exploring different novel treatment strategies in the treatment of UE dysfunction in patients with stroke: rTMS integrated with rPMS.
The upper extremity kinematics of people post-stroke will be monitored with/without an inactive hand orthosis (intervention: added weight to hand) during ARAT, Fugl-Meyer, and Box and Blocks tests. Measurements will occur right after inclusion and repeated once after 7-8 weeks. Upper extremity kinematics and test scores will indicate the influence of additional weight to hand as a possible confounder when, in the future, the hand orthosis would be used as a therapy tool.
