Filter by:By Investigating the heart rate variability (HRV) of 15 patients after stroke and compare it to the HRV of 15 orthopedic patients, the investigators hope to achieve 3 main goals: 1. To describe the 24-hour circadian rhythm of heart rate among patients after stroke in the sub-acute phase during 3 days. 2. To examine the differences in the circadian rhythm of heart rate along 3 days between patients after stroke in the sub-acute phase and control group matched by age and gender. 3. To describe the reaction and examine the differences in reactions of the heart autonomic system during rest, paced breathing and activity in both groups- stoke and control. The HRV will be monitored by Polar watch and the activity will be measured by accelerometer, both will be attached to the patients at the beginning of the trial and will stay on them for 3 whole days.
The purpose of the research is to investigate the effects of respiratory training on respiratory and functional performance in patients with stroke.
The main objective of the study is to explore and map brain areas involved in processing and perception in patients suffering from neurological pathologies and condition. The investigators hypothesize for example, that a change (compare to healthy subjects) in the perceptual maps and body representation could be detected and characterize in patients suffering from impairments of peripheral nerve conduction.
54 inpatients participants were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and conventional). Individual of experimental group were treated according to an established protocol for ARMEO Spring (30 minutes/session with "Armeo Spring" and 30 minutes/session with conventional treatment 5 days/week for 6 weeks). The conventional treatment consists of passive and active assisted mobilization of the upper limbs, traditional training based on the Bobath concept. Inpatients of control group were treated with conventional treatment with training session of 60 minutes 5 days/week for 6 weeks. All patients were evaluated by a blinded observer using the outcomes tests at enrollment (T0), after the treatment (T1) and at follow up 6 weeks later (T2). We assessed the impact on functional recovery (Functional Independence Measure - FIM scale), strength (ARM Motricity Index-MI), spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale-MAS) and pain (Numeric Rating Pain Scale -NRPS).
Code Stroke is a system for the rapid identification, pre-notification and transport of acute ischemic stroke patients. The objective of this study was to define quality indicators and to compare treatment outcomes in hospitals where Code Stroke has been implemented and hospitals without the use of Code Stroke (control patients).
Shoulder pain after stroke is a very common, causing significant morbidity disease. Subacromial and subdeltoid (SASD) bursitis are common causes of pain or disability of the shoulder joint in stroke patients. Traditional therapeutic approaches for the shoulder pain therapy including pharmacotherapy, injection therapy, physical therapy, and behavioural modification. Unfortunately, these therapy methods may not be effective in many patients and long term benefit after treatment is transient, the outcomes may also be incomplete or non-existent. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) is a neurotoxin that can inhibit not only the acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junctions but also other neurotransmitters such as glutamate, substance P and calcitonin gene related peptide, all of which have been indicated in pain transmission. Despite the therapeutic benefit of BTX in alleviating painful muscle spasms, its efficacy in SASD bursitis conditions is less clear. So we perform this study to examine the efficacy of ultrasound guided SASD injection with BoNT-A in reducing refractory shoulder pain after stroke.
The investigators want to verify whether mobile application based on stroke strengthen prevention management is more effective than traditional management model or open stroke management platform. Whole blood-impedance based platelet aggregation(WBA) method and VerifyNow detected by aspirin or clopidogrel responsiveness will provide individualized anti-platelet drug selection. Endpoint event is defined as stroke death or relapse. Primary measure outcomes are change of the stroke recurrence rate and mortality after secondary prevention.
The study aims at estimating the safety and efficacy of the intravenous injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(hUC-MSC) for patients suffering from ischemic stroke in recent 3 months.
The aim of this study: 1. To evaluate the correlation between the clinic tools and ultrasound elastography/ ARFI imaging in stroke patients. 2. To assess the reliability of elastography/ ARFI imaging in spasticity evaluation of stroke patients.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, pilot study comparing the WATCHMAN left atrial appendage occlusion device with Rivaroxaban therapy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
