Filter by:Up to the researcher knowledge, there is currently limited literature available that thoroughly investigates the biopsychosocial and motor predictors of functional recovery in stroke survivors. Previous studies have only focused on examining these factors individually, without considering their collective impact on functional outcomes. As a result, there is a significant research gap in understanding how these factors interact and influence the recovery process. By integrating the biopsychosocial model with motor predictors, this study will provide a unique and comprehensive perspective on the recovery trajectory of stroke survivors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of cognitive sensory motor relearning, and sensory-motor relearning program alone on manual ability, sensation, gross and fine movements, and cognition in post-stroke patients. The main aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated approach and its impact on motor function, sensory processing, and cognitive skills in sub-acute stroke patients, with the goal of contributing to the development of more efficient rehabilitation interventions for UL sensory-motor impairments after stroke.
This study compares two approaches for rehabilitating stroke patients: Perturbation-Based Training and Bobath-Based Trunk Exercises. The perturbation based training focuses on challenging patients with unexpected movements to improve their balance and stability. While the Bobath method, concentrating on facilitating normal movement patterns. The study aims to determine which approach yields better outcomes in terms of trunk control, balance, and functional recovery for stroke patients. This study will also enable the individual to be more independent and minimize their falls.
In the acute posterior circulation strokes, the vertebrobasilar occlusions frequently related to worse outcomes than the anterior ones. However, few studies mentioned the benefit and safety of the emergent stenting in the successful recanalization at these complex occlusions. The investigators investigated whether the improvement of clinical outcome was achieved in postprocedural 3-month.
To evaluate the effects of the 1-year pharmaceutical care program offered by the clinical pharmacist to the patients admitted to the neurology service with the diagnosis of stroke, on medication adherence, quality of life, and clinical outcomes of the patients.
This study aim was to investigate the validity and reliability of Turkish version of Manual Ability Measure-36 (MAM-36) in patients with neurological disease.
Along with the current clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor administered within 24 hours of first-ever large-vessel ischemic stroke compared to 300 mg clopidogrel were assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
Homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs) following acquired brain lesions affect independent living by hampering several activities of everyday life. Available treatments are intensive and week- or month-long. Transcranial Direct current stimulation (tDCS), a plasticity-modulating non-invasive technique, could be combined with behavioral trainings to boost their efficacy or reduce treatment duration. Some promising attempts have been made pairing occipital tDCS with visual restitution training, however less is knows about which area/network should be best stimulated in association with compensatory approaches, aimed at improving exploratory abilities, such as multisensory trainings. In the present double-blind, sham-controlled study, we assess the efficacy of a multisensory training combined with tDCS. 3 groups of participants with chronic HVFDs underwent a 10-day (1.5 hrs/day) compensatory audio-visual training combined with either real anodal tDCS applied to the ipsilesional occipital tDCS (Group 1), or the ipsilesional posterior parietal cortex (Group 2), or a sham, placebo, tDCS (Group 3). The training require the participants to orient their gaze training spatio-temporally congruent, cross-modal, audio-visual stimuli (starting from a central fixation) and press a button as quick as possible upon the detection of the visual stimulus. All stimuli are presented on 2mx2m panel embedded with 48 LEDs and loudspeakers (Bolognini et al., 2010, Brain Research) All participants underwent a neuropsychological assessment of visuospatial functions prior to the beginning of the training (t0), at the end of the training (t1), and at 1-month (t2) and 4-month follow-up (t3). The assessment includes: a visual detection task, three visual search tasks (EF, Triangles, and Numbers; Bolognini et al., 2005, Brain), and a questionnaire about functional impact of the HVFDs in the activities of daily living.
To Compare effects of action observation and motor imagery training on upper limb function in chronic stroke patients.
In chronic hemiparesis, abnormal antagonist muscle activation in the paretic lower limb contributes to impair ambulation capacities. A biased estimate of antagonist muscle activation when using surface bipolar EMG compared with high-density (HD) EMG has been previously reported in healthy subjects. The present study compares muscles cocontraction at the paretic ankle estimated with a pair of and multi-channel surface EMG.
