Filter by:Impaired hand function is one of the most frequently persisting consequences of stroke. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether two different types of treatment improve recovery of hand function after stroke.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not having people with stroke practice performing tasks to auditory rhythm cues with their weaker arm and hand is any better at promoting improved motor control than practicing the tasks in a typical way without the rhythm cues
Study Objectives: 1. To document the safe and effective application of the F.T.M. Arm Training Program using the SaeboFlex to an inpatient post stroke rehabilitation population. 2. To compare functional improvements in hand and UE use achieved with the F.T.M. program as compared to generally applied therapeutic treatment approaches. 3. To develop recommendations for an inpatient retraining protocol that could then be evaluated in a multi-center trial. 4. To document the retention of UE and hand improvements after SaeboFlex training is discontinued as well as the carry over of these gains into daily function after therapy has been discontinued.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two amounts of treatment therapy on post stroke motor recovery in the arms. The therapy is bilateral movement training combined with electrical stimulation on the impaired limb.
A randomized control trial of bimanual training. The protocols have been developed at Columbia University to be child friendly and draws upon our experience since 1997 with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a lower-dose and higher-dose therapy program for persons recovering from a recent stroke using mechanically-assisted upper limb movement with a device called MIME. A control group receives additional occupational therapy without the use of MIME.
The objective of this research is to determine if electrical stimulation can improve the strength and coordination of the lower limb muscles, and the walking ability of stroke survivors. The knowledge gained from this study may lead to enhancements in the quality of life of stroke survivors by improving their neurological recovery and mobility. The results may lead to substantial changes in the standard of care for the treatment of lower limb hemiparesis after stroke.
This randomized trial investigates the hypothesis that regular aerobic exercise training using a task specific gait training modality will improve cardiovascular fitness, functional mobility, and reduce risk factors for recurrent cardiovascular events in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients, when compared to matched controls performing just stretching.
