Filter by:The purpose of this project is to examine and compare the immediate and long-term effects of combined Botulinum toxin type A(BoNT-A) injection with wearable robotic hand system (RT) and Robotic mirror therapy (RMT) in patients with spastic hemiplegic stroke.
To evaluate the efficacy of dry needling therapy on shoulder pain and upper extremity functions in hemiplegic patients.
Spasticity is a positive sign of upper motor neuron syndrome. The frequency of spasticity development in patients with stroke is 38%. Spasticity is one of the important factors that negatively affect the rehabilitation potential and functional recovery of the patient. In the treatment of spasticity, oral antispasticide drugs, phenol, ethyl alcohol, botulinum toxin, and chemical nerve and motor point blocks, physical therapy, and rehabilitation, surgical methods are used. In the physical therapy rehabilitation program of spasticity, stretching and strengthening exercises, cold application, warm application, ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, extracorporeal shock therapy are used. Stretching exercises are the cornerstone of spasticity treatment. In many clinical and experimental studies, a decrease in spasticity has been noted after stretching exercises. It has been stated that the application of cold or hot applications before stretching may increase the effectiveness of spasticity treatment. The study comparing the effectiveness of hot and cold treatment applied before stretching exercises clinically and ultrasonographically has not been found in the literature. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of clinical and ultrasonographic comparison of the effect of hot and cold treatment on spasticity before stretching exercises in patients with stroke. This study is unique because it is the first study that evaluates the effect of hot and cold applications on spasticity before the stretching.
This is a randomized clinical trial to study the effect of tDCS in participants with subacute ischemic stroke, the study participants will be randomly assigned into three groups; bihemispheric, unihemispheric and sham group.
This study aims to: - Investigate the effect of motor imagery training on gait kinematics in children with spastic hemiplegia. - Determine the effect of motor imagery training on balance in children with spastic hemiplegia. - Assess the effect of motor imagery training on trunk endurance in children with spastic hemiplegia.
Statement of the problem: Does task-oriented circuit training have an effect on kinematic parameters of gait, pelvic symmetry and trunk endurance in children with hemiplegic CP? Purpose of the study: This study aims to: - Investigate the effect of exercise-based task-oriented circuit training on gait kinematics including (Stride length, step length, cadence, walking speed, ankle dorsiflexion angle in initial contact, knee extension angle in midstance and hip extension angle in terminal stance) in children with hemiplegic CP. - Determine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on pelvic symmetry including (Anterior and lateral pelvic tilting) in children with hemiplegic CP. - Examine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on trunk endurance including (prone plank test, timed partial curl up test, front abdominal power test and unilateral supine bridge test) in children with hemiplegic CP.
The INSPIRE study is interventional, European, prospective, open, multicentric, each patient being his/her own control. It is conducted to assess the safety and performance of the Atalante exoskeleton system in patients presenting an hemiplegia due to cerebrovascular accident. The primary endpoint is defined by the reported adverse events. The study will include 40 patients and takes place in six rehabilitation centers (4 in France, 1 in Luxembourg, 1 in Belgium).
The purpose of our study is to assess the effect of lower limb sensory training on proprioception, balance, gait and motor functions in Hemiparetic Individuals.
High intensity laser therapy (HILT) has been considered as a treatment option for shoulder pain. To our knowledge, the effectiveness of HILT in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) with partial thickness rotator cuff tear (PTRCT) is unknown. In this study, we intended to investigate the effectiveness of HILT on pain, disability, function and quality of life in patients with HSP accompanied by PTRCT.
Objective: The present work was carried out to determine the effectiveness of neuromuscular stimulation triggered by mirror therapy in older patients with post-stroke hemiplegia by two different intervention protocols, either intensively or spaced over time. Design: Prospective longitudinal study Setting: Two Spanish rehabilitation centres. Participants: forty four aging patients (>70 y) with diagnosed post-stroke hemiplegia were randomly distributed to intensive intervention group (5 times/week for 6 weeks), or to spaced intervention group (3 times/week for 10 weeks) which were underwent to similar number of mirror therapy sessions (n=30). Main outcome measures: Muscle strength and activity was measured at baseline and at the end of treatment. Functional ability was also evaluated.
