Neuralis is an innovative assistive technology designed for individuals with severe neuromuscular conditions, enabling wheelchair control through EEG signals. This study aims to assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of Neuralis in restoring mobility and independence. The device is a discreet EEG headset which specializes in decoding signals from visual cortex, allowing users to initiate precise wheelchair movements through focused attention. This research seeks to demonstrate Neuralis' potential in revolutionizing assistive technology by offering a non-invasive, user-friendly solution for individuals facing motor impairments, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new digital therapeutic solution which combines a holistic, multidimensional rehabilitation program based on dance and music with an innovative motivational system (DANCEREX-DTx) in Chronic Neurological Disorders (Multiple Sclerosis and pre-Mild Cognitive Impairment - MCI/ MCI at risk of Alzheimer's Disease). The main questions it aims to answer are 1] efficacy of the digital therapeutic solution in terms of adherence, clinical/functional measures, quality of life and surrogate measures; 2] usability and acceptability of the system. Participants will be randomized (with an allocation ratio of 2:1:1) into the experimental group (DANCEREX - 12 sessions of multidimensional dance-based program integrated with an innovative motivational system), active comparator group (12 sessions of multidimensional dance-based program) and placebo group (12 sessions of educational program). Researchers will compare the experimental group to other two groups to see if a digital therapeutic solution integrating a multidimensional dance-based program and motivational system is effective in increasing adherence to rehabilitation treatment.
Neurogenetic diseases (NGD) represent rare and hereditary forms of neurological diseases. The goal of CNGD is to create a one-window approach for NGDs, to facilitate and accelerate participation in research projects through deep phenotyping and the availability of low-cost biological samples for research teams. It is positioned as a true hub allowing new connections between clinical and basic research teams and ultimately as an incubator for translational projects for NGDs, in order to be able to initiate therapeutic trials, the ultimate objective of clinical and translational research.
1. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the length of ICU stay and a newly developed FIVE score in neuro-intensive care patients. 2. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the FIVE score on hospital length of stay, Modified Rankin Scale, and mortality, as well as to determine the correlation between the GCS, FOUR, and FIVE scores
This study, aimed at investigating the impact of using a supportive soft-robotic glove on actual arm and hand use in daily life, is designed as a single-case experimental design study. 3-5 patients with limitations in hand function due to trauma-related or neurological conditions are asked to participate. Participants will be asked to use a soft-robotic glove at home for six weeks during daily activities relevant to them, while that glove supports the grip of their most affected hand. For several weeks before, during and after the use of the soft-robotic glove, participants will be asked to do some short tests (wearing an activity meter on both wrists during the day, performing a hand squeeze test under the supervision of the researcher via video call) and to answer some questions related to perceived hand function and well-being (a total of at least 15 times during 12-14 weeks). The present study is a follow-up to previous studies that investigated the effect of (previous versions of) the same robotic glove (Carbonhand; Bioservo Technolo-gies AB, Kista, Sweden) on hand function, in order to better understand and explain the observed therapeutic effect.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an innovative telerehabilitation protocol in people with Chronic Neurological Disorders (Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and post-stroke). The main questions it aims to answer are 1)the usability and acceptability of the system; 2)the level of safety of intervention; 3) the efficacy of the telerehabilitation protocol. Participants will be randomized (with an allocation ratio of 1:1) into either the experimental group (20 sessions of motor telerehabilitation with digital and robotic tools) or the active control group (20 motor rehabilitation sessions performed at home according to the usual care treatment procedure). Researchers will compare the experimental group and the active control group to see if the TR protocol with digital and robotic tools is effective in reducing the perceived level of disability.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare home based rehalitation program with real time biofeeback versus conventional physiotherapy on the gait velocity in Parkinson disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • How do the interventions afftect the gait velocity of the participants at week 12 ? Participants will be randomized to either follow prescribtional physiotherapy or FeetMe rehabilitation programs during the first 12 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks, participants will choose in which arm they want to pursue for 12 aditionnal weeks.
Neurological diseases are central nervous system diseases that cause an increase in the level of disability and limitations in daily life. Multiple Sclerosis (MS), stroke, and Parkinson's Disease (PD) are among the most common apparent neurological diseases, and epidemiological studies show that their prevalence has increased over time worldwide. Although MS, stroke, and PD have different causes and neurological aspects, they generally cause motor, sensory, and/or cognitive impairments, leading to restriction of the individual's activities and participation. Today, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches together with optimal medical and surgical treatment are the cornerstones of treatment for these diseases. Recently, it has been stated that various telerehabilitation interventions in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be an additional option to the rehabilitation approaches applied in the clinic. On the other hand, It is important to evaluate the level of usability in expanding the usability of telerehabilitation services and determining the best telerehabilitation service. For this reason, there is a need for questionnaires investigating the satisfaction level of physiotherapy and rehabilitation applied through telerehabilitation.
The specific study aims will be: 1. To design and develop the hardware and software of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems. 2. To test the feasibility of the VR+MT and MR+MT systems from the patients and to collect the feedback of users with respect to their experiences. 3. To examine the treatment effects of VR+MT and MR+MT compared to the traditional MT (i.e., control group) in patients with stroke by conducting a randomized controlled trial. 4. To identify who will be the possible good responders to VR+MT and MR+MT based on their baseline motor functions and mental imagery abilities.
