Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate short and long-term effects of Whole Body Vibration therapy on spasticity and motor performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Twenty-six patients undergoing conventional physiotherapy in a private rehabilitation center were included in the study. Patients were randomized to treatment and control groups. Study was completed with a total of 22 cases (11 for each group). At the beginning of the study, cases were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88, LEGSys Spatio-Temporal Gait Analyzer, SportKAT550tm Portable Computerized Kinesthetic Balance Device and Modified Ashworth Scale. Cases in the treatment group were treated with Compex-Winplate for 8 weeks, 3 times a week, 15 minutes a day in one session. All cases were reevaluated immediately after the treatment and 12 weeks after the treatment.
Physical therapists frequently use manual cueing as a tool to improve movement quality in persons recovering from stroke but evidence to support its effectiveness is lacking. The purpose of this graduate student research study is to determine the immediate and carryover effects of an integrated verbal and manual facilitation approach used by physical therapists during sit to stand training on the midline alignment, muscle activation and quality of movement in chronic stroke survivors with hemiplegia.
Hemiplegic shoulder pain is the most common poststroke painful condition. Hemiplegic shoulder pain reduces range of motion (ROM) and hand function, resulting in limited daily life activity and decreased quality of life. In the literature, the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain has been previously evaluated, but these injection treatments have not been compared. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection on pain, shoulder (ROM), function and quality of life in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain.
This study compared the effectiveness of two-mode of activity-based upper limb rehabilitation (Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Bimanual training) on health-related quality of life outcomes in school-aged children with cerebral palsy
Comparison of Upper Extremity Robotic Rehabilitation Efficiency with Conventional Rehabilitation in Patients with Hemiplegia after Cerebrovascular Event
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation training based on brain-computer interface in improving the upper motor function, self-care ability in daily life and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. This study adopts centralized uniform random 1:1 grouping, subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Randomization schemes are generated by statistical professionals using SAS software.
The main hypothesis of the present study is that a safer knee joint is likely to encourage post stroke patients at an early stage to rely on their hemiparetic leg and transfer their weight onto it while walking. The main purpose of the present work is to assess the feasibility of FES-induced muscular control of the hemiplegic knee joint in order to improve stance phase support symmetry recovery in individuals with post stroke hemiplegia. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is delivered to the quadriceps and hamstrings of the paretic limb based on the real-time estimation of the knee angle and support phase.
Infantile hemiplegia due to brain injury is associated with poor attention. Left-sided infantile hemiplegia affects the learning and acquisition of new skills. This study is aiming to improve the Selective visual attention (SVA) through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in children with Left-sided infantile hemiplegia .
The main purpose of this study is to assess the interest of using wheelchair positioning equipment on the decrease of postural disorders, compared to the standard use of a wheelchair
Modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) has been successfully used with children who have hemiplegia (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body.) mCIMT uses a removable cast during treatment and home exercise programs. It has been found that mCIMT can improve use, strength and coordination of a child's affected hand, and may also help improve speech and language skills. The goal of this project is to investigate whether combining mCIMT with speech therapy will enhance speech outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.
