Filter by:Stroke is major public health issue. The investigators recommend post-stroke patients to practice physical activity. Nevertheless, the recommendations are not widely respected due to the intensity of exercises. Oxygen consumption is a parameter to assess the intensity of physical activity. in this sense, we want to measure the oxygen consumption during various walking tasks compared to healthy controls.
This epidemiological survey is to analyze the prevalence rate of stroke and exposure rate of risk factors in sampling population aged 40 years and over (born before December 31,1975) in Dehui City, to provide scientific basis for pertinent prevention and control of stroke in Jilin Province, and to provide valuable data for the high-risk groups to carry out regular follow-up and standardized management.
After stroke, blood vessels in the brain can become damaged, and the brain's ability to control blood flow can be impaired. The brain therefore may be less able to maintain a healthy level of blood flow during challenges such as changes in posture. Studies have shown that sitting upright early after stroke can cause brain blood flow to reduce. However, no studies have investigated how standing up affects blood flow to the brain. In this study, transcranial Doppler ultrasound will be used to assess how cerebral blood flow velocity changes when acute stroke patients stand up.
Cerebrovascular disease is the main cause of death and severe long-term disability worldwide. Antiplatelet drugs are the main drugs for ischemic stroke and TIA. Cyclooxygenase inhibitor acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has always been the most widely studied antiplatelet therapy. The studies of acrates of aliscon body evaluated the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor monotherapy in preventing major vascular events in patients with AIS or TIA. The results showed that the number of patients with endpoint events in ticagrelor group was less than that in ASA group, However, it has not been proved that ticagrelor monotherapy is better than ASA. The purpose of this study is to prove that ticagrelor is better than ASA.
The objective of this study is to specify the typology of CVA in French Guiana by prospectively comparing consecutive strokes observed at each of the three study sites (Cayenne, Tours, Besançon)
Hemiplegia is one of the most common sequelae of stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults all around the world. Stroke survivors can suffer several neurological impairments and deficits which have an important impact on patient's quality of life and which increase the costs for health and social services. After stroke, impairments in ADLs and functional status, deterioration in health related quality of life can be seen. The purpose of this study is to Determine the effect of Aerobic exercise training on Balance, Walking capacity and quality of life in sub-acute stroke.
Stroke is one of the leading cause of death, in adult stroke causes permanent disability. Stoke impact the life of a person significantly including the quality of life of an individual and especially performing the task of daily activities independently. About 50% survival of stroke have daily life activity limitation which is affecting their quality of life. Among stroke patients, 69% experience functional motor disturbance in their upper extremity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Exer-gaming by using the Xbox Kinect game system on upper extremity motor functions and the ability to perform ADLs in sub-acute stroke. Various treatment methods are used for the rehabilitation of stroke. This study will be a randomized controlled trial, used to compare the effectiveness of Exer gaming on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in sub-acute stroke patient. Subjects with Sub-acute stroke meeting the predetermined inclusion & exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using simple random sampling technique. Pre assessment will be done using FMA & SIS measurements. Subjects in one group will be treated with Conventional therapy and exer gaming and the other will be treated with conventional therapy and activities training session. Each subject will be received a total 18 treatment sessions, with 3 treatment sessions per week for 6 weeks. Post treatment reading for FMA and SIS will be recorded after the end of treatment session. Recorded values will be analyzed for any change using SPSS.
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability in the UK. There are few treatment options that improve long-term disability outcomes after stroke. Animal studies indicate that aerobic exercise training can improve brain repair and reduce disability after stroke. However, in clinical practice it is difficult for stroke survivors to undertake aerobic exercise due to lower-limb disability and a lack of accessible exercise equipment. This study will assess the feasibility of implementing a 5-day aerobic exercise training intervention, beginning in the acute phase of stroke (1-7 days post-stroke), using a power-assisted exercise bike. Feasibility outcome measures: recruitment rate (30 participants recruited within 18 months), completeness of data (>80% of planned measurements recorded) and the safety (<10 adverse events related to the intervention) and acceptability (>3/5 comfort scale) of the intervention. We will also investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler ultrasound, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (serum and plasma).
The research "Biomechanical and neurophysiological evaluation of the effects of a motor block and an injection of botulinum toxin on the stiffness of the paretic sural triceps muscle" will study the response to passive stretching in the neurological patient presenting spastic paresis after a stroke.
This two phase feasibility study looked at the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial in the outpatient and inpatient rehab setting exploring how individuals post stroke respond to different focus of attention cues. Focus of attention refers to whether individuals in are thinking about how their body is moving, internal focus, or on the effect their body has on the environment, external focus, during motor task. This trial will specifically look at the effect focus of attention has on motor performance and learning in individuals post stroke during lateral seated weight shifting task.
