The MitraClip-procedure offers an interventional treatment for high risk patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation. The number of new cerebral ischemic lesions without clinical manifestations is high. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of cerebral embolisms and cerebral lesions during the MitraClip-procedure using transcranial doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
This study will investigate if a lower limb robotic device can be used in a community setting to increase the amount of physical activity that individuals undertake following stroke and consequently improve biomechanical, physiological and health outcomes, in patients with stroke.
The purpose of this study is to study, among the aphasic person, if motor function ( studied by Motor Evoked Potentials) performed within the first 14 days after a stroke can predict a good recovery from aphasia 6 months of the initial episode.
Neurological patients (e.g., after stroke) need long-term neurorehabilitation therapy of the arm with often limited, unsatisfactory outcome. Robots became a promising supplement or even alternative for neurorehabilitation training.
The objective of the MEDIS study is to determine if subjects experiencing an Acute Ischaemic Stroke due to large vessel occlusion, treated with IV tPA combined with the MED procedure have a greater likelihood of recanalisation 30-90 minutes after the completion of tPA infusion than subjects treated with IV tPA (plus sham device). Safety of the MED System Procedure will be evaluated by the incidence of symptomatic PH-2 haemorrhagic transformation within 24 hours following the procedure. Lastly, a health economics study will be conducted to estimate health care costs for each treatment.
After discharge from hospital, the current healthcare system in Germany allows considerable flexibility (therefore complexity) of patient access and mobility between multiple care providers in the community setting. The investigators believe this aftercare could be better coordinated by a specialized coordinated stroke aftercare service. Comprehensive coordinated multidisciplinary care is a proven concept with proven benefits in both acute and rehabilitation care provided in stroke units and neurorehabilitation centres. In this study, the investigators postulate that a similar coordinated approach to care can be extended to the phase after in-patient rehabilitation has ended (i.e. "long-term management" as opposed to "early supported discharge") for disabled patients with stroke living in the community.
This study will have acupuncture intervention in acute ischemic stroke patients and evaluate the effect in neurological function improving by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Barthel Index, and antiinflammatory actions by biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to advance upper limb robot-mediated tele-rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke by empowering them through active science participation. By varying the tasks' features and affordances of a platform that combines a low-cost haptic device on one hand, and an online citizen science platform on the other, investigators will evaluate different strategies for social telerehabilitation. the two fundamental modes of social interaction - competition and cooperation - in addition to a control condition. Specifically, citizen science activities will be performed by competing, cooperating, or isolated users, and their rehabilitation effectiveness examined. Such effectiveness will be measured by (i) participants' rehabilitation performance (inferred from sensorimotor data acquired through the platform and directly quantified by a supervising therapist); (ii) participants' motivations to contribute (measured through surveys administered online); and (iii) participants' emotional well-being and sense of self-esteem (measured through online surveys).
The investigators will test whether an intervention called ischemic conditioning can improve paretic leg motor function in chronic stroke subjects.
