Filter by:Upper extremities are the first part of the body to be affected by Parkinson's disease. Although studies have shown that virtual reality-assisted rehabilitation methods are effective on gait and balance, studies on their use for upper extremity rehabilitation are limited. For this reason, the aim of the project is to examine whether virtual reality supported upper extremity position matching exercises, which will be specially prepared according to joint ranges of motion, will provide functional improvement in the upper extremities of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
The aim in this study is to evaluate spasticity and hand grip strength with a finger hand robot in the Turkish population.
Prospective cohort study during post stroke rehabilitation in hospital and municipality. Participants will be measured with accelerometers, tests in relation to physical function and qualitative interviews.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of rTMS applications at different current frequencies (low frequency / intermittent (intermittent) theta burst (iTBS)) in stroke patients on lower extremity motor development, physical function and quality of life, and to compare the effectiveness of these modalities.
The pilot study was performed to evaluate the usability, credibility and expectancy of an intelligent, activity-based client-centred training system (i-ACT), and the motivation towards its use in neurological rehabilitation over a short period of time.
An optimal nutritional supply is associated with better outcome and recovery. For investigating the influence of the nutritional status and body composition on the course of rehabilitation, bioelectrical impedance analyzes (BIA) should be carried out on neurological (early) rehabilitants during the rehabilitation process. Possible disturbances, suitable outcome valuesfor evaluation of the rehabilitation success (depending on the rehabilitation phase) as well as the required frequency of the BIA measurements in rehabilitation should be estimated with the help of this pilot study.
New research in animal models of MS suggests that greater training intensity is required to restore lost functions. We have developed and tested vigorous intensity cool room treadmill training that people with MS who have fatigue and heat-sensitivity can tolerate. This study will focus on the appropriate dosage of training.
First evaluation of FindMyApps, a tablet intervention consisting of a selection tool for usable apps for self-management and meaningful activities and a training that supports informal carers to help people with dementia to learn how to use the tablet and the tool.
The purpose of this study was to observe the therapeutic effect of near-infrared light irradiation on the treatment of acute spinal cord injury in humans, and whether it can promote the recovery of neurological function. Half of the patients underwent laminectomy and decompression surgery, and the other half of the patients were implanted with irradiated fibers for irradiation after surgery.
Upper limb recovery is not predicted by the initial severity of paralysis and the parameters reflecting the integrity of the corticospinal tract (e.g. motor evoked potential, fractional anisotropy in diffusion tensor imaging). Although the inhibition of the contralesional hemisphere is known to be beneficial for the upper limb recovery after stroke in previous studies, this is not proven in the severely paralyzed upper limb. And the studies using the noninvasive stimulation in subacute stroke is lack. In addition, the role of contralesional (unaffected) hemisphere is known to be playing the important role in severe stroke. In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled studies, the patients with subacute stroke (<3 months after stroke onset), severe paralysis of the upper limb with poor prognosis (poor motor score and no response of motor evoked potential recorded in the extensor carpi radialis muscle) will be recruited. Interventional group will receive the 25 mins of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the contralesional premotor area plus 25 mins of robotic arm training per session for 10 sessions in 2 weeks. Control group will receive the same treatment except for sham tDCS instead of anodal tDCS over the contralesional premotor area. Functional outcome will be measured before and after the intervention (baseline, immediately after the intervention and 1 month after the intervention). Cortical activation pattern will be measured by the electroencephalography (EEG) at baseline and immediately after the intervention.
