Filter by:The three-year cumulative risk of a recurrent stroke, dependent on aetiology, is up to 25 per cent. At present, preventing recurrence relies on a broad approach to reduce risk factors associated with atherosclerosis, heart disease and metabolic disorders. However, more specific interventions, such as anticoagulation and surgery or stenting, need aetiologic information. BIOSIGNAL aims to determine where the most promising candidate biomarkers can help identify stroke aetiology and also predict overall MACE, including specifically recurrent stroke. In addition, the insights gained into the processes underlying different stroke subtypes may lead to more targeted diagnostic tools.
A pilot study to assess the effectiveness of CR2-Haptic and determine the feasibility of including robotic therapy into the daily rehabilitation program.
It is estimated that 2 out of 3 patients with a stroke have some problems with their memory, difficulties performing certain tasks, making decisions and learning new things. In addition, many stroke patients do not get regular exercise and are often sedentary. Both physical and cognitive exercise have the potential to improve quality of life, cognition, and overall health, but the safety and tolerability of such interventions is not clear in stroke patients. The investigators will examine these outcomes by allocating stroke survivor participants to one of two groups: a combined exercise and cognitive training program and a sham control group.
This is a pilot study with a single active treatment arm. The study is designed to assess the efficacy of a portable, non-invasive neuromodulation system for the treatment of post-stroke aphasia. Both language and movement assessments will be made.
The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NT 201 compared with placebo for the treatment of chronic troublesome sialorrhea associated with neurological disorders (e.g. cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury) and/or intellectual disability in children and adolescents naïve to Botulinum neurotoxin treatment and aged 2-17 years.
Interventional prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) single-center clinical trial on the evaluation of the efficacy, safety, feasibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of in-ambulance telemedicine for patients with suspicion of acute stroke.
Background Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills, but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking (i.e., dual-task walking) and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts. There is evidence showed that dual-task balance and gait performance is significantly impaired after stroke. Increasing evidence also suggests that dual-task balance and gait performance is useful for predicting falls among individuals with stroke. Considering the high clinical relevance of dual-task balance and gait performance, it is essential that stroke rehabilitation adequately addresses dual-task deficits. Developing specific dual-task balance and gait training to enhance dual-task performance is thus necessary to promote community ambulation and reintegration. Study Aim The aim of this Introduction Many individuals after stroke continue to cope with residual physical impairments after discharge from hospital. One of the major problems encountered by people after stroke is community reintegration. Functional community ambulation not only requires a critical level of postural control and walking skills, but also the ability to engage in cognitive tasks while walking (i.e., dual-task walking) and adapt to the constantly-changing environmental contexts. There has been an increasing awareness of the importance of dual-task gait performance in community-dwelling individuals with stroke in the past few years. There is evidence showed that dual-task balance and gait performance is significantly impaired after stroke. Increasing evidence also suggests that dual-task balance and gait performance is useful for predicting falls among individuals with stroke. Considering the high clinical relevance of dual-task balance and gait performance, it is essential that stroke rehabilitation adequately addresses dual-task deficits. Developing specific dual-task balance and gait training to enhance dual-task performance is thus necessary to promote community ambulation and reintegration. Study Aim This will be a single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT).The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a dual-task exercise program on cognitive-motor interference in balance and walking tasks, balance self-efficacy, participation in everyday activities, community reintegration and incidence of falls among individuals with chronic stroke.
The investigators hypothesize that Acute Thai traditional massage will yield beneficial effects on cerebrovascular reactivity in ischemic stroke patients.
Early verticalization and stepping with the equipment of Hocoma ERIGO during monitoring of vital parameters. The device is already CE marked and, for the purposes of the study, will be used in accordance with the intended use (after-market clinical investigation).
Rehabilitation restores functions and reduces disabilities due to diseases sequelae. The relationship between intensity of rehabilitation and clinical outcomes, recently emphasized, has generated a great interest for technological high-intensity interventions. However, their effects compared to traditional interventions as well the involved biological mechanisms remain uncertain. The present Strategic Program aims to predict the treatment efficacy in specific rehabilitation profiles, to improve the use of "targeted" therapies and the individual management of patients affected by stroke and to transfer these findings into rehabilitative strategies.
