Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate body composition, fatigue, mobility level, functional status in with stroke individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: How is body composition affected in individuals with stroke? How is the level of fatigue affected in individuals with stroke? How is the mobility level affected in individuals with stroke? How is functional status affected in individuals with stroke? In this study, we included 21 patients with stroke and 21 healthy controls. The body composition of the participants was evaluated by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), fatigue level by Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), mobility level by Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI), and functional status by Functional Independence Scale (FIM).
Every year, almost 800,000 people experience a stroke in the United States, which lead to upper-limb impairments, making recovery of motor function a priority in stroke rehabilitation. 1) The primary objective of this study is to determine whether fast arm movement training on a tracking task ("Speed-training"), in chronic stroke survivors with mild to moderate paresis, will generalize to improve arm function better than dose-equivalent accuracy training on the same task. 2) study the effect of intensive arm training on the recovery of anticipatory feedforward control. 3) Determine the involvement of cerebellar-cortical circuits in the recovery of arm movements due to speed training.
This study was conducted to determine whether mirror therapy has an additive effect on cross-education of the strength of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients with hemiplegia. As an outcome measure, the ankle dorsiflexion strength of hemiplegic patients was measured.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a cold application to the contralateral (affected side) extremity in addition to unilateral neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application has a facilitating effect on muscle strength in post-stroke hemiplegia patients.
Stroke is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality and 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.
Study BT200-01 is a first in human (FIH) study in male and female normal human volunteers (NHVs) that uses an Integrated Protocol Design. This Phase 1 study will comprise 4 sub-parts: Part A, a single ascending dose (SAD) study; Part B, a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study; Part C, a desmopressin challenge study to explore (i) whether desmopressin could be used as an antidote, and/or (ii) whether desmopressin stimulated vonWillebrand Factor (VWF) release is overcome with increasing BT200 doses; and Part D, a relative bioavailability (BA) study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of BT200 in NHVs.
Sesame is a European, multi-center, single arm, prospective, observational registry. Sesame aims to demonstrate that use of SOFIA™/SOFIA™ PLUS catheter for direct aspiration as a first line treatment technique is fast, safe and effective in patients suffering an Acute Ischemic Stroke when assessed at 24 hours, discharge and 90 days after treatment. 250 patients will be enrolled. All patients will be followed for 90 days or until death.
This is a pivotal phase study of up to 120 subjects and 15 clinical sites. All subjects are implanted with the Vivistim System® and then randomized to either study treatment or active-control treatment. The randomization will be stratified by age (<30, >30) and baseline FMA UE (20 to <35; >35 to 50). Study treatment is vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) delivered during rehabilitation. Active control treatment is rehabilitation (standard-of-care treatment) with only a minimal amount of VNS at the start of each session intended to support blinding.
Stroke is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality and 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. Although most of the stroke survivors experience some level of neurological recovery, nearly 50%-60% of stroke patients still experience some degree of motor impairment, and approximately 50% are at least partly dependent in activities-of-daily-living (ADL). Gait recovery, performing activities of daily living and regaining independence in ADLs are the main focus of stroke rehabilitation programs. Robotic technologies are becoming more promising techniques for the locomotor training in stroke patients. Achieving a functional walking level is one of the target of robotic gait training and it has been shown that Robotic-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) improves walking function in stroke patients. Having a functional gait level may help the stroke patients to regain independence in ADLs and improve quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of RAGT on functional status, ADLs and health related quality of life.
Stroke is one of the most common causes of acquired adult disability. The majority of stroke survivors have mobility difficulties such as poor standing, decreased walking speed, balance disturbances, and increased risk for falls. Improving mobility, functional walking and balance are the main goals of stroke rehabilitation. Robotic technologies are becoming more promising intervention for the locomotor training in stroke rehabilitation. Static or dynamic balance deficits act crucial role on gait performance among stroke survivors. Therefore it is important to determine the effects of BWSTT in improving balance in persons with stroke. Although it has been demonstrated that BWSTT improved balance and gait performance in stroke patients, it is not clear whether the improvements are greater compared with those associated with other gait rehabilitation methods. To the investigators knowledge, there are also limited studies in the literature concerning the effects of BWSTT on falling risk in stroke patients. The strong evidence is needed about the effectiveness of BWSTT including comprehensive determinants of balance with combined and isolated intervention groups.This study aims to compare the effects of BWSTT with combined and isolated intervention on balance, gait and fall risk in patients with subacute and chronic stroke. The investigators hypotheses are that after stroke: 1. the combination of BWSTT with conventional training may lead to more improved balance parameters; 2. when applied as an isolated intervention, BWSTT or conventional training may lead to similar results.
