Filter by:In hemiplegia quantitatively measurement of the asymmetry in the use of upper limbs could overcome the limitation of many outcome measures in which scores are dependent on the experience and training of the therapist. The main aim of this study was to determine the validity of Actigraph GXT3+ to measure asymmetry in the use of the two upper limbs during the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) in children, adolescents and young with hemiplegia aged 5-19 years, compared to age-matched typically developing subjects (TD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Indego exoskeleton as a gait training tool for individuals with hemiplegia due to Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA).
Several factors associated with the hemiplegic shoulder pain after stroke includes rotator cuff injury, bicipital tendonitis, impingement, spasticity, limited external rotation of shoulder joint, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder subluxation, shoulder hand syndrome, and brachial/axillary neuropathy. In this study, the investigators aim to usie high frequency ultrasound to evaluate the relationship between stroke patients with poor shoulder motor function and shoulder tendon injury. Also, assumed that performing passive range of motion and positioning training might prevent tendon injury of shoulder and hemiplegic shoulder pain in either acute or chronic stage of stroke.
The proposed pilot study seeks to explore the effectiveness of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to improve upper limb function in children and youth (aged 6 to 18 years) with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as measured by the QUEST grasp score and other secondary outcome measures obtained pre- and post-intervention in a case series study design.
This is a multi-centered randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of "Remind-to-Move" (RTM) using wearable devices at home for promoting upper extremity recovery in stroke patients after discharge from subacute hospitals.
This pilot study intends to evaluate an online exercise video rehabilitation program for stroke survivors with moderate disability compared to usual care. The intervention videos combine aerobic and resistance training using a latex resistance band, Thera band® elastic band, specifically designed for rehabilitation. This study will aim to show that for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke resulting in disability, at-home physical therapy with aerobic exercise videos will improve depression level and aerobic capacity more than usual care.
This study aimed to compare the effects of kinesiotaping, neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES), and neuromuscular training on pain, and motor activity and function in patients with upper extremity hemiplegia.
A randomized control trial examining the relationship between changes in hand function and brain plasticity following intensive therapy. Two treatment approaches are used: constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) or Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy (HABIT). The protocols have been developed at TC Columbia University to be child friendly and draw upon our extensive experience with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy. Our center has been providing interventions camps for children with cerebral palsy since 1998. The interventions are performed in a 15 day day-camp setting with several children and at least one interventionist per child. The aim of the intervention is to improve the use of the affected hand and quality of overall movement in a fun, social setting. PARTICIPATION IS FREE.

Among the sequelae of stroke, gait disorder is directly linked to the degree of autonomy in the daily life of patients. It is considered significant effects on their Quality of Life(QOL). Further methods of rehabilitation are required for convalescent patients to recover their function soon and better, due to a multitudes of recovery patient with troubles such as gait problem. This trial is studying to investigate the effects of gait training with a functional electrical stimulation (FES) `WalkAide[R](WA)' to improve the lower-limb function and ambulation in convalescent stroke patients.
The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical algorithmic-based evaluation and treatment approach for C-Brace for use by persons with hemiparesis or hemiplegia due to stroke.
