Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of shoulder slings on pain, motor function, daily life and balance in acute hemiplegic patients and to investigate whether different types of slings are superior to each other.
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.
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.
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).
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.
The study aims to test the hypothesis that rTMS in the form of theta burst stimulation (TBS) over the ipsilateral and contralateral motor cortices can modulate mirror illusion-induced rhythm suppression while observing unilateral arm movement in stroke individuals. The investigators further hypothesize that this intervention will lead to the revision of interhemispheric asymmetry. Finally, this study will also explore the longitudinal relationship between rhythm suppression and motor recovery as indicated by motor excitability in the form of MEP. The results of this study will provide significant new information regarding neurophysiological motor relearning mechanisms which could inform the development and evaluation of innovative treatments for individuals with stroke
The main objective: To determine changes in physiological and structural properties of upper limb muscles with spasticity in patients with acquired brain injury after applying neural mobilization improving their functional performance, their participation in society and quality of life. Hypothesis: Peripheral nerve mobilizations performed with neurodynamic techniques in upper limb in patients with acquired brain injury, generate changes at structural and physiological level, favoring the performance of daily life activities and improving the quality of life.
The reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS) has been reported to be not high enough in adult patients with acquired brain damage. The low number of patients and the heterogeneous study population have been reported as important limitations in the reliability study of this measure. Therefore, the reliability of the ASAS needs to be confirmed in stroke patients with spasticity. This study aims to investigate the inter-rater reliability of the ASAS in a study population consisting of a larger and more homogeneous patient population (those with post-stroke spasticity).
