Filter by:This study utilizes multimodal brain imaging to obtain quantitative biomarkers of brain injury and to improve understanding of the biological basis of brain pathology in adolescents with concussion. Adolescents with a concussion will undergo neuroimaging and neuropsychology assessments acutely and four months after injury.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether robotic exoskeleton training can improve walking performance after SCI as compared to conventional physical therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects on upper limb spasticity of soft splints worn during three weeks three hours a day by patients with stroke or disorders of consciousness.
This long-term goal of this project was to advance best practices in occupational therapy in conjunction with yoga. To address the long-term goal, this research team developed a pilot yoga intervention. The intervention was designed to focus on balance, balance confidence, body responsiveness, pain, physical ability and quality of life. Assessments were then chosen to address these areas pre and post yoga intervention. A manual and protocol were developed for the intervention and then the intervention was implemented with a group of individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury.
A prospective before-and-after study to evaluate the effect of implementing a Trauma Quality Improvement protocol on the process of Trauma Quality Improvement meetings and major trauma patient outcomes at four trauma centres in India.
This is a phase I/IIa, randomized, double-blind, two-arms, two-dose administration, placebo controlled, two-way crossover clinical trial in which 10 patients from 18 to 65 years of age affected with chronic traumatic spinal cord will enter the study with the objective to assess the safety and to obtain efficacy data in intrathecal administration of expanded Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a multi-professional theoretically based family centered intervention, The Traumatic Brain Injury Family System Intervention (TBIFSI), for the family members and TBI patients in improving family dynamics and functioning. The intervention will be provided in collaboration with the municipal rehabilitation service. The intervention group will be compared with a control group receiving treatment as usual, defined as an individually tailored multidisciplinary approach, and the family members will attend one ongoing psycho-educational group session of 2.5 hour provided by Oslo University Hospital (OUH).
The clinical relevance of the observed stress induced hyperglycemia in trauma patients remains unclear. The earlier studies suggested the implications of cytokines in stress induced hyperglycemia and the outcomes after trauma. To date, there is little information available regarding the effect of diabetic hyperglycemia (occult or known) on outcomes after trauma and whether these patients represent a distinct group with differential outcomes when compared to those with stress-induced hyperglycemia. Herein, the purpose of this study is to identify the incidence of stress induced hyperglycemia as well as diabetic hyperglycemia in trauma patients and to investigate the association between proinflammatory cytokine levels and hyperglycemia in our trauma population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of post-operative opioid use after two different educational interventions. The investigators will compare changes in pain, disability and sleep between groups 6 months after elective lower extremity surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare aspirin versus low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (Enoxaparin) as a thromboprophylaxis in patients who sustain a fracture.
