Filter by:The study assesses a machine learning model developed to predict fall risk among stroke patients using multi-sensor signals. This prospective, multicenter, open-label, sponsor-initiated confirmatory trial aims to validate the safety and efficacy of the model which utilizes electromyography (EMG) signals to categorize patients into high-risk or low-risk fall categories. The innovative approach hopes to offer a predictive tool that enhances preventative strategies in clinical settings, potentially reducing fall-related injuries in stroke survivors.
In this study we want to introduce the beneficiary combine effects of chest mobilization and chest physiotherapy exercises by using cough peak flow meter and chest expansion in stroke patients. by using theses combine exercises physiotherapist can develop target rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors.
Objectives of Study： Through the cross-sectional study of stroke and depression, key biomarkers are targeted by screening disease-associated intestinal bacteria, metabolites and immune factors through multi-omics techniques.
The aim of this study is to develop, adapt a musical game for residents of RAM, and evaluated the usability and correlation between this game with the improvement of motor coordination in short time.
The incidence of cognitive and neuromotor impairment caused by strokes has become a growing challenge. The patient's journey to recovery in the healthcare system involves multiple phases, spanning from initial hospitalization to in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation, finally leading to the patient's return to home. The access to stroke units and rehabilitation varies within Europe. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to rehabilitation programs, and the benefits derived from these programs often decline after hospital discharge. Currently, the support of the patient is organized in a rather fragmented way, and informal care sometimes places a severe burden requiring dedicated support in the patient's social environment. The PHRASE project proposes to deploy rehabilitation technology such as the Rehabilitation Gaming System (RGS) to instil and support a virtuous cycle of stroke patients' recovery in the at-home setting. RGS is an effective advanced digital tool for rehabilitation programs that uses Augmented Reality (AR)- and Virtual Reality (VR)-based gamified training grounded on neuroscientific principles, that has been shown to promote cognitive and motor recovery after a stroke at the clinic and home. There are many dedicated cognitive therapies, but most rehabilitation outcomes are mostly limited to the task trained and do not extend to day-to-day function or remain unconvincing. Based on recent literature, the PHRASE RGS-based system can provide an effective tool to address cognitive impairment using VR-based interventions. In a previous study, the neuropsychological test battery was compiled by the neuropsychologist and covered four cognitive domains: 1. basic attention, 2. memory (short-term memory), 3. visuospatial memory, and 4. executive function. All these functions were tested using VR-based tasks. The conclusion of this study confirms the possibility of addressing cognitive impairment effectively using VR-based interventions when properly mapped with clinical scales. The validation of the PHRASE system with post-stroke patients is needed to strengthen its usefulness and effectiveness for cognitive rehabilitation at home. For this, a feasibility study will be conducted to measure its usability, adherence, acceptance, and the user's experience. The investigators will also explore the effectiveness of the PHRASE system in improving cognitive function (attention, memory, executive function) after stroke. Participants: stroke patients at different time points after stroke (acute, subacute, and chronic), aged over 18 years. The participants will integrate the PHRASE technology into their daily routines in parallel to their regular neurorehabilitation treatment for 6 weeks.
Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride), a classical crystalloid solution, is widely used to maintain fluid balance, volume resuscitation and dilute drugs during clinical practice. However, the chloride concentration of normal saline (154mmol/L) is much higher than human plasma, and a large amount of infusion may lead to iatrogenic hyperchloremia in ICU patients. In contrast, the concentrations of Multiple electrolytes II is more similar to those of plasma and is considered to be a better fluid choice than normal saline.
In this study, our objective is to explore and evaluate interventions to improve the process of recovery following a stroke. The main focus is on enhancing symmetrical walking patterns in adults who have experienced neurological deficits due to a stroke. The primary tool will be an end-effector type rehabilitation robot, the Morning Walk®. This robot has been specifically designed to assist in enhancing symmetrical walking patterns for individuals recovering from a stroke Morning Walk® has received approval from the FDA, meaning it meets stringent safety and efficacy standards.
A pilot study confirmed the feasibility and safety of neuroprotectant Y-3 intracalvariosseous(ICO) injection in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI), showing a trend in improving 90-day functional scores compared to conventional treatment. The aim of this trial is to further investigate the efficacy and safety of ICO injection of Y-3 compared to intravenous injection in patients with acute large hemispheric infarction(LHI) who has contraindications of reperfusion therapy or have got poor reperfusion therapy outcomes.
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital discharge among low-income individuals are related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and include: 1) financial barriers , 2) transportation barriers, and 3) system-level barriers. Although, medication therapy management services are important during care transitions, these services have not proven effective in improving medication adherence after hospital discharge, highlighting a critical need for innovative interventions. The Medication Affordability, Accessibility, and Availability in Care Transitions (Med AAAction) Study will test the effectiveness of a pharmacy-led care transitions intervention versus usual care through a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of 388 Medicaid and uninsured hospital in-patients with MCC from three large healthcare systems in Tennessee. The intervention will involve: 1) medications with zero copay, 2) bedside delivery then home delivery of medications, and 3) care coordination provided by certified pharmacy technicians/health coaches to assist with medication access, medication reconciliation, and rapid and ongoing primary care follow-up. We will examine the impact of the intervention during 12 months on 1) medication adherence (primary outcome) and 2) rapid primary care follow-up, 30-day readmissions, hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and costs. We will conduct key informant interviews to understand patient experience with the acre received during and after care transitions. By examining effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes including medication adherence, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience, this study will provide valuable results to health systems, payers, and policymakers to assist in future implementation and sustainability of the intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.
The purpose of this research is to study the improvements from walking practice that is vigorous enough to keep participants' heart rate over a certain target level during their physical therapy sessions. The investigators want to know about improvements in participants' walking function and mental health after 20 interventions. The study also aims to evaluate if participants' mental health, social support, and health literacy affect their attendance at physical therapy sessions.
