Filter by:Hypothesis 1: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. H1: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has an effect on knee hyperextension control in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait. Hypothesis 2: Ho: Ankle-foot orthosis, which fixes the ankle at different angles (3 degrees dorsiflexion - 5 degrees dorsiflexion), has no effect on pelvic movements in stroke patients with genurecurvatum gait.

Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study. This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.
Objective of the study: - To determine changes in physical and cognitive function in patients with chronic stroke over 5 years - To determine whether there are differences in physical and cognitive function in chronic stroke patients with different baseline levels of physical activity
The present study will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) with conventional physical therapy in sub-acute (at least 2 weeks after stroke onset) to chronic stroke within 2 years to investigate the effect on cortical activity and upper and lower limb motor function. The findings may support the usage of tES for improving brain activity and motor function in a clinic setting.
Stroke is defined as sudden neurological disruption of blood supply to brain. It is most common disease that causes severe disabilities like hemiparesis which is most common motor impairment that leads to persistent upper limb dysfunction. In this study we use two techniques to improve upper limb motor dysfunction and reduce spasticity. One is task-based activities which is used to improve motor function and focus on active participation rather than normal movement pattern and other is neural mobilization which aims to reduce spasticity which is most common in stroke patients.
The goal of the present clinical trial is to explore whether an innovative technology-based approach can help individuals who have had a stroke and can no longer move their hands with ease. Our approach consists of a combination of two technologies: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The former entails the application of magnetic fields over the head to stimulate the brain preparing it for a better ability to produce movement. The latter consists of measuring brain activity to personalize a type of computer-based training that is designed to increase communication between the brain and the muscles.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if operant conditioning can reduce spasticity in order to improve walking in stroke patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can participants self-regulate reflex excitability - Can participants self-regulate reflex, reduce spasticity and improve walking Participants will undergo surface stimulation to evoke spinal reflexes and will be asked to control these reflexes therefore reducing spasticity. Researchers will compare result to able bodied participants to see if [insert effects]
The purpose of this trial is to assess engagement, efficacy, durability, and impact on health care resource utilization of MR-001 in persons with chronic stroke who have a gait deficit after in-home/community use.
Study objective The purpose of this clinical research is to verify if the patient with chronic stroke can regain the ability of living independently after daily using Testa BioHealing® Biophoton Generators to increase the energy of the brain and other parts of the body. Study design This study is a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled prospective intervention clinical research. At least 46 patients with chronic stroke will participate in the live-in observational study in a Tesla MedBed Center. Study patient population The adult patient with a chronic stroke which was defined as a stroke occurred at least 6 months ago with a significant disability unable to have an independent life, is to be considered as a qualified participant.
The main purpose of conducting this study is to decrease the tone through PNF techniques and EMS application. By decreasing the tone, spasticity may be reduced in stroke patients and may inturn lead to better approaches to treat those patients. So, the findings of this study can help in formulation of future guidelines for management of stroke that will help the clinicians to treat such patients in more efficient way..
