Filter by:This observational study's main goal is to learn more about the neural mechanisms during movement in Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, it aims to inspire personalised treatment options. Participants will undergo a protocol that involves walking and gait-related motor tasks, such as seated stepping. During the protocol, brain activity will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of different robotic devices for gait rehabilitation in stroke patients
The purpose of the study is to validate the use of smart and widespread instruments to detect kinematic, kinetic and spatio-temporal parameters in gait and postural analysis in hemiparetic and healthy individuals. Device as single Microsoft sensor Kinect v2, wearable sensorized clothing and/or smartphone-type devices will be used; it is also planned to analyze and compare such parameters with those obtained through a technique of manual palpatory analysis. Finally the obtained measures will be compared with the corresponding ones obtained with Three-dimensional instrumented gait analysis (3D-GA).
This is an experimental, observational, prospective study designed to develop medical knowledge. The main objective of the study was to identify clinically significant, easily interpretable, quantitative indices of fatigue-related gait pattern changes in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. This study is part of a usual framework of management of post-stroke hemiplegic patients with additional data collection, via the use of inertial measurement units, considered here as non-interventional. To achieve this identification, 2 6-minute walk tests will be performed for each patient at the beginning and end of the same day. Patient-perceived fatigue will be recorded by the Borg scale every minute during the 6-minute test. The level of activity during the rehabilitation day is also part of the data collected (number of hours of physical and non-physical activity). At the end of the second 6-minute test, the patient's participation in the study ends. In addition to the inertial measurement, two scores will be collected to assess the correlation between fatigability and the level of anxiety/depression and stroke severity : - National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD)
Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients suffer from gait impairments responsible for falls and bad quality of life: reduced speed and stride length, randomness in the temporal organization of stride duration variability (reduced Long-Range Autocorrelations (LRA)). For years, auditory cueing has been used to modulate PD gait and its effect on LRA is known. Less is known regarding the effects of haptic cueing on PD gait and especially on LRA. This pilot study will compare the spatio-temporal gait parameters and LRA of PD patients tested under three conditions: walking without cueing, walking with auditory cueing and walking with haptic cueing by means of rhythmic vibrations on the patients' wrists.
Every-day life means being part of a complex environment and performing complex tasks that usually involve a combination of motor and cognitive skills. However, the process of aging or the sequelae of neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) compromises motor-cognitive interaction necessary for an independent lifestyle. While motor-cognitive performance has been identified as an important goal for sustained health across different clinical populations, little is known about underlying brain function leading to these difficulties and how to best target these motor-cognitive difficulties in the context of rehabilitation and exercise interventions. The challenge of improving treatments of motor-cognitive difficulties (such as dual-tasking and navigation) is daunting, and an important step is arriving at a method that accurately portrays these impairments in an ecological valid state. The investigators aim therefore to explore brain function during complex walking in MS (in comparison with people with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls) by investigating the effects of neurological disease on motor-cognitive performance and its neural correlates during three conditions of complex walking (dual-task walking, navigation and a combination of both) using non-invasive measures of brain activity (functional near infrared spectrometry, fNIRS) and advanced gait analysis in real time in people with MS (in comparison with people with Parkinson's disease and healthy adults).
It has been reported that gait coordination changes in patients with chronic low back pain, walking slower, taking shorter steps and having asymmetrical stride lengths compared to their healthy peers. In addition to many factor cause gait dysfunction, sacroiliac joint dysfunction might be one of reason of these problems. A study examining the effects of sacroiliac joint dysfunction on gait and disability in individuals with chronic low back pain has not been found in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gait parameters and disability of individuals with chronic low back pain and to reveal their relationship with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exoskeleton robot gait training on activities of daily living, gross motor function evaluation, balance and walking ability in adolescents with cerebral palsy.
The former aim of this study is to determine whether the arm swings change in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) according to healthy subjects. The latter purposes to investigate the correlation between balance parameters and arm swing, how to change arm swing according to severity of the disease, and to determine the relationship between balance and the severity of disease, the relationship of posture both arm swing and severity of disease in patients with COPD. In accordance with this purposes, 20 patients with COPD who have Global Initiative for Chronic Obstruction Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 1-2-3 and 20 healthy controls will be included between the ages of 40 and 65, respectively. Tests and questionnaires will be used in order to determine the severity of COPD and to evaluate posture. Berg Balance Scale, Time Up and Go Test, 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test, 6 Minute Walk Test and gait analysis will be performed. It is expected that by determining the parameters that can be affected by severity of COPD. It is estimate to have information about severity of the disease by means of observational analysis. It will guide professional working in the field.
This is a device study that will evaluate the effect of an implanted stimulator on improving walking in stroke survivors. There are two phases in the study: 1) Screening - this phase determines if the individual is a good candidate to receive an implanted system, 2) Implantation, controller development, and evaluation - this phase includes installing the device and setting the individual up for home use, creating advanced controllers for walking and evaluating the effect of the device over several months.
