Filter by:Over eighty percent of stroke patients experience finger-grasping dysfunction problems, compromising independence in daily life activities and quality of life. In routine training, task-oriented training is usually used for functional training of the hand, which may improve the finger grasping performance after stroke, whereby augmented therapy may lead to a better treatment outcome. Technology-supported training holds opportunities for increasing training intensity. However, most of the hand rehabilitation robots commonly used in the clinic are based on passive training mode and lacks the sensory feedback function of fingers, which is not conducive to patients completing more accurate grasping movements. The force feedback hand rehabilitation robot can make up for the above defects, but its clinical efficacy in stroke patients are not known to date. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness and added value of the force feedback hand rehabilitation robot combined with task-oriented training for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
With this study, it will be proven whether the Turkish version of the Stroke Exercise Preference Inventory is valid and reliable in evaluating the exercise preferences of individuals who have had a stroke.
In this study, musculoskeletal-related pain, posture, spine function, the condition of the low back and neck regions, musculoskeletal system disorders, fatigue, and quality of life will be examined in caregivers of rehabilitation patients.
Background: Although rehabilitation activities, including physical therapy, are known to be beneficial for stroke patients, many patients still have poor walking function, especially after the acute phase of three months, where the recovery of lower limb walking ability through traditional rehabilitation therapy gradually decreases, requiring alternative approaches. Exoskeleton robots appear to provide benefits for stroke patients by providing exercise guidance, thus improving their independent gait endurance and stair climbing ability. For stroke patients who cannot continue to improve through general rehabilitation and have ongoing mobility difficulties, exoskeletons may be a potential solution. However, previous literature on the use of exoskeletons to assist gait training has had mixed results, with one major reason being that the frequency of use is too low or the duration of use is too short, due to the high cost and inconvenience of travel to medical institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to enable patients to use them frequently and for a long period. Method: investigators designed a non-blinded, randomized crossover trial to observe the potential benefits of using the device at home for one month. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving traditional rehabilitation first and the other using the exoskeleton first. There were four time points for testing: before, after the first stage of treatment, after the second stage of treatment, and one month after completing the second stage, to observe the sustained effects. The testing involved executing a 6-minute walk test, timed up and go test, and a 10-step stair test (up and down) both with and without the device. An electronic software app was used to record daily usage time to determine the quantity and degree of home use. Analysis: Repeated measures ANOVA models were used to analyze the effects and correlations of the experiment. The effects of the duration/frequency of use on dosage were also analyzed.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Y-6 sublingual tablets in improving microcirculation dysfunction and reducing thrombo-inflammation in patients who had AIS caused by LVO and received reperfusion therapy. Moreover, we expect to evaluate the safety of using Y-6 sublingual tablet in such study population.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sarecycline versus placebo in the treatment of microcirculation dysfunction after reperfusion therapy in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Minocycline versus placebo in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke.
Stroke is one of the high rated neurological disorders, induced by disruption of brain's blood flow. Stroke can alter the level of consciousness, motor and cognitive skills, sensory perception and language; it all depends on the extent of injury and the region of brain that is affected. Even though all the rehabilitation given to the "stroke" patients, but still 25-30% of the survivors still have gait and balance problem and they require complete physical support before their discharge from the hospital. Backward treadmill walking has reported numerous benefits in improving balance, motor function and gait. Cross training is a technique which is applied to healthy limb of the individual to increase muscle strength and muscle activity.so the aim of this study is to find the effects of backward treadmill walking and lower extremity cross training on gross motor function and balance among stroke patients. The study will be randomized clinical trials, Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups each group will have 13. This study will be conducted in Safi teaching Hospital Faisalabad. Group A will be treated with backward treadmill walking and group B will be treated with lower extremity cross training. All participants will receive conventional physical exercises which includes general mobility and functional activities. In this study, the 40-minute training programs for both groups will be occur 5 times a week for 6 weeks, with 5 minutes being allocated for warm up, 30 minutes devoted to the main exercise, and 5 minutes for cool down. Outcome will be measured before and after giving treatment by using Tinetti performance oriented mobility assessment and lower extremity functional scale. The results will be calculated by using SPSS version 25. Frequencies and mean standard deviation will be measured, parametric and non-parametric tests will be applied
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the Suhexiang Pill for patients with acute ischemic stroke in real-world settings.
This trial aims to investigate whether placebo in isolation (open and hidden) has a specific neural signature in stroke subjects thus providing a novel mechanism to explain placebo effects that can be used to ultimately enhance stroke rehabilitation therapies.
