Filter by:Abstract: Background: The leftover movement disorder of stroke patients is one of the main causes of disability, and there is still no specific solution. Studies have shown that the improvement of movement disorder symptoms in patients receiving DBS is a potential therapy. treatment approach. However, at present, there are few large-sample studies in this area at home and abroad, which cannot well reveal its actual therapeutic effect and safety, and do not fully understand its potential neural mechanisms, so it is impossible to form a unified and standardized treatment standard, which limits its wide application in clinical practice. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of hemiplegia recovery after deep brain electrical stimulation in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods/Design: This was a double-blind randomized cross-over controlled pilot study in which 62 patients were assigned to receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) and randomized into DBS and control groups using a randomized controlled study approach, DBS group One month after the operation, electrical stimulation was started, and the control group was given sham stimulation treatment. After 3 and 6 months of follow-up, all the machines were turned off. After a 2-week washout period, the control group was turned on, but the DBS group was given sham stimulation. After the 9th and 12th month of follow-up, all patients were given start-up treatment, and neuroimaging and various post-stroke motor-related scores were performed for data collection and analysis. Discussion: The investigators propose a research design and rationale to explore the effectiveness and safety of DBS in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia, and provide evidence and reference for DBS in the treatment of post-stroke dyskinesia. Study limitations are related to the small sample size and short study time period.
Effective treatment of spasticity after stroke is a very important and serious problem. Some of the therapeutic approach include physiotherapy and medication. In the recent years external corporeal shockwave therapy and dry needling are commonly used for management of spasticity and pain after stroke. the purpose of this study is the comparative study between effectiveness of external corporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and dry needling (DN) on spasticity, pain, and upper limb function and sensation in individuals with hemiplegia. Methods: In this study, individuals with hemiplegia were randomized 1:1 to parallel ESWT-Group (n = 10) or DN group (CG) (n = 10). Upper Extremity Functions, Sensation, Spasticity and Pain were evaluated. All measurement indicators were be evaluate before treatment and immediately after one session treatment. Mixedmodel repeated measured ANOVAs were then employed to determine if a group*time interaction existed on the effects of the treatment on each outcome variable for each group as the between-subjects variable and time as the within-subjects variables.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the gait of patients with hemiplegia, with or without the use of insole splint. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the insole splint improve the gait of these patients? Does any difference exist in the use of muscles? Participants will have to walk in the gait analysis' aisle with and without the insole splint, using wireless EMG device.
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation on upper extremity functions and activities of daily living in chronic hemiplegic patients.
There are few studies on whether botulinum toxin treatment and extracorporeal shock wave therapy are more effective than botulinum toxin alone treatment for post-stroke spasticity.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an isokinetic strength training of knee flexor and extensor muscles on walking performance in hemiparetic patients with knee extension thrust.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is is estimated to be around 1.5-3 per live birth, with prenatal factors accounting for 75% of cases. CP appears in early childhood and persists with age and is characterized by permanent lesions or abnormalities affecting the immature brain. It mainly occurs as a motor system disorder (e.g., abnormal movements or posture) with the presence of hemiplegia, diplegia or tetraplegia, and spastic, dyskinetic or atactic syndromes. .This study will explore the potential clinical benefits of the Molliimethod in children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity impacts balance and mobility, halts the patients quality of life and their ability to perform their activity of daily living, and could also increase the risk of fractures and falls. Available interventions that aim on improving spasticity are facing limitations such as varios side effects. Therefore, developing novel therapies such as the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit could help to overcome such limitations and noninvasively improve balance, mobility, quality of life and reduce spasticity and pain in children with CP.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between multifidus and gastrocnemius muscle thickness with postural stability in patients with stroke.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality-mediated upper extremity rehabilitation added to the conventional rehabilitation program on upper extremity, quality of life, range of motion and spasticity in patients with stroke.
