Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate body awareness and functional movement in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to healthy controls.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine effects of training involving rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) on upper-limb movements and functions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the RAS group and the no-RAS group. Patients will receive training with or without the aid of RAS based on their groups. The training task is to use the right hand to take beads from one bowl to another bowl. The box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test will be used before and after training (i.e., pretest and posttest respectively) to assess patients' upper-limb speed and function. Researchers will compare scores of the box and block test and the Jebsen hand function test between the two groups at pretest and posttest to determine effects of RAS.
Music that is familiar and preferred by patients has been shown to heighten neuroplasticity and can mitigate these disabilities. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the effect of providing patient preferred music to patients in the very early post stroke period (within 24 hours of a left cerebral artery stroke [LMCA]event) as a complementary modality to usual stroke care.
There are several factors influencing on balance and movement in individuals with stroke, such as previous stroke, age, bowel incontinence, visuospatial problem. However, those factors involving in postural control and voluntary movement were studied in subacute and chronic phase of stroke, but not in the acute period. The aim of the study is to determine factors for postural control and voluntary movement in individuals with acute stroke and then follow at the first, third, and sixth month.
Individuals with stroke show abnormal movement pattern of upper limb. The movement pattern needs to be corrected. There are several methods to train normal movement. Exercise with technology is an active movement and affects sensory and cognitive systems. It may benefit to individuals with stroke in training.
