Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to confirm and compare the effect of methods of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) in the unilateral neglect of stroke patients
This study is being done to test the feasibility and effectiveness of web-based social-cognitive training exercises in treating social-emotional deficits in patients with stroke or frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections are widely used to treat spasticity after stroke. Although this treatment is effective on muscle tone improvement, its effect on gait and ability of daily living on early stage of stroke adults remains uncertain.The purpose of this study is to determine whether an early calf muscle injection of low dose BoNT-A in severely affected patients within 6 weeks after stroke could help to hold back disabling muscle spasticity and improve walking dysfunction.
Selenium is a trace element essential to human health.Selenium protection against cellular damage by oxygen radicals is accomplished through selenoproteins. Ischemic stroke is associated with the generation of oxygen free radicals resulting in a condition of oxidative stress. Supplementing stroke patients with antioxidant nutrients may improve survival.
The goal of this study is to find out what clinical reasoning process physiotherapists undergo when observing hemiplegic patients gait.
An exoskeleton robotic knee system for stroke rehabilitation is proposed in this study. This robotic system has been developed to facilitate functional motor recovery by practices walking with a one joint motor powered exoskeleton to reduce the muscle weakness in the shank and reduce the hyperextension in the knee joint. The robotic knee system is able to sense the gait pattern from the stroke patients and assist the walking and control the knee angle. The clinical trial will use repeated measurements to evaluate the effectiveness of the robotic knee system in gait rehabilitation post stroke.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) integrated with wrist robot-assisted treatment. In detail, the anodal stimulation on the impaired hemisphere will be used associated with a robotic treatment.
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective Thromboelastography (TEG) is on identifying ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients at increased risk for bleeding after receiving tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), as well as on differentiating between patients in whom optimal thrombolysis has been achieved, and those whom it has not.
The purpose of the study is to determine if performing different types of aerobic exercise (cycling) before upper extremity exercises will help to improve outcomes after stroke.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a novel computer gaming hand exercise regimen would improve hand and arm function and be feasible in people with hemiplegia after Stroke affecting the hand.
