Filter by:The patients at our Prosthetics and Orthotics Outpatient Clinic who have had an ankle-foot orthosis for at least one year will fill in the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) for wearing the orthosis and for not wearing the orthosis. They will also answer a mini survey about falls in order to determine whether they have fallen within the last 6 months.
The device that is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for driving a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair. This module is designed to accessorize the electric wheelchair to improve the safety conditions when driving an electric wheelchair, thus reducing the wheelchair accident rate on the one hand and facilitating access to the wheelchair to persons who can not claim it without the use of a safety device of this type.
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) are often offered walking aids and compensatory strategies rather than restorative rehabilitation. We have developed a cool room treadmill training method that uses body-weight support that people with MS fatigue and heat sensitivity can tolerate. Our previous research shows that people with advanced MS use three times more energy for essential tasks such as walking. This project will test whether 10 weeks of body-weight supported treadmill training in a room cooled to 16°C improves walking, fitness and fatigue in people with advanced MS.
Purpose: To determine unmet functional needs in patients referred to the Palliative Care Unit at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital will be asked to fill out self reported questionnaires regarding problem intensity, problem burden and felt needs, physical functioning, emotional functioning, fatigue, sleep, distress. Furthermore patients physical function will be evaluated.
The Physical Activity Scale for Individuals With Physical Disabilities (PASIPD) is a scale that has been developped and validated in English to quantify the level of physical activity for people with physical disabilities. The investigators aimed to translate and validate a French transcultural version of the PASIPD (PASIPD-Fr) through a rigourous process following international recommendations for cross-cultural translation and adaptation of questionnaires.
The aim of the study is to create a specific test to assess the global time required to go to the toilet and to perform micturition, at the moment the patient decides to urinate in multiple sclerosis population, and to assess its reliability.
Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients suffer from gait impairments responsible for falls and bad quality of life: reduced speed and stride length, randomness in stride duration variability (reduced Long-Range Autocorrelations (LRA)). This pilot study will compare the spatio-temporal walking parameters and LRA of PD patients tested under three conditions: walking over ground, walking on a treadmill and walking on a treadmill in virtual reality. The aim is to determine the effect on gait of an optical flow recreated in virtual reality, by means of a virtual reality headset, on a treadmill.
The investigator plans to test the use of the Ekso Bionics® Gait Training (Ekso GT™) exoskeleton for gait training in MS patients. The device will solely be used in the clinic under direct supervision from a physical therapist. This is a small PI-initiated uncontrolled pilot study to gather safety and feasibility data on the exoskeleton in individuals with MS and walking impairment.
Compare the safety and effectiveness of pRESET to Solitaire in the treatment of stroke related to large vessel occlusion
A rhythmic auditory stimulation intervention may be beneficial in order to improve movement parameters after stroke. Reviews argue that more randomized controlled trials with a control group are needed. Main objective: Evaluate the effect of a rhythmic auditory stimulation on the quality of balance and gait parameters in people with stroke. Methodology: quasi-experimental study. The study has been approved by the hospital ethics committee.
