Does a 4-week stepping training program with or without external feedback clinically change functional ability and reduce risk of fall of ambulatory patients with iSCI? Are there significant differences between 4-weeks stepping training with or without external feedback in ambulatory patients with iSCI?
This study evaluates the effects of two different injury prevention exercise programs on sports-relevant performance tests and neuromuscular function in youth football players. Half of participants will receive education on an existing and previously tested exercise program, while the other half will receive education on a newly developed exercise program.
Investigate impact of gelling fiber dressings on handling exudate in medium to high exuding wounds
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of a novel therapeutic approach with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) to promote functional recovery and spasticity in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).
To improve spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation through stronger informal caregiving, the proposed study will modify and evaluate a telehealth Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for informal caregivers of individuals with SCI during the transition from hospital to home. The TAP was previously developed for stroke caregivers and has been found to decrease caregiver strain and depression. In the proposed study, the TAP will be modified for SCI and implemented at a state-of-the-art SCI rehabilitation facility with a very high volume of SCI treatment and with telehealth technology already in place through which to test the intervention.
Study design: Controlled Trial Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of robotic-assisted training of forearm and hand functions in spinal cord injury patients Setting: Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Turkey Methods: Forty patients were allocated into robotic and control groups. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation program for four weeks. Moreover, robotic group received robotic rehabilitation program tailored to the patient five times a week (each session of 30 min). Baseline data and post-intervention data was compared.
This research is a randomised controlled study. The study hypothesis is cognitive rehabilitation for attention deficits following mild traumatic brain injury will improve patient's cognitive outcome, measured by neuropsychological and neuroimaging parameters. Participant recruitment is from University Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia. All mild traumatic brain injury participants have to fulfil the study inclusion criteria and written consented for therapy. Control group receives existing patient-centred cognitive treatment whereas intervention group receives individualised structured cognitive rehabilitation therapy. The intervention begins at three months post injury and ends at six months post injury. Study outcome measurements are applied at pre and post treatment. This study was ethically approved by Medical Research Ethics Committee University Malaya Medical Centre (MREC ID NO: 2016928-4293).
The goal of this study is to evaluate the utilization of conventional 'thermally' polarized perfluorinated gases mixed with oxygen as an exogenous inert contrast agent to image the airway spaces in subjects with suspected lung disease, post deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is an open label proof of concept study expanding on work here at Duke.
Audit filters for monitoring trauma care quality are regarded as one of the most essential components of trauma quality improvement programmes; however, there is a paucity of evidence that shows that audit filters are associated with improved outcomes. Therefore, our aim is to assess if institutional implementation of audit filters reduce mortality in adult trauma patients.
