Filter by:The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the L300 Plus as a neuroprosthesis device for walking in patients following an UMN injury or disease. The clinical study is proposed to determine the anticipated adverse event rate and treatment outcomes at the conclusion of the study.
The hypothesis is that a physical therapy intervention for foot and ankle of diabetic neuropathic individuals would affect positively the way they walk, lowering the harmful forces that these segments receive, that are associated mainly with lower range of movement, muscle weakness and loss of sensation. The participants will be randomly assigned into control group (regular treatment prescribed by their medical group) or into treatment group, that will receive 12 weeks of physical therapy intervention, twice a week, for 45 minutes each session. This will aim for increasing foot and ankle range of movement, muscle strength and improving sensory inputs.
The aim of this randomised, double-blind crossover study was to determine whether Doxycycline has an impact on the persistent symptoms post-neuroborreliosis, through alterations in the immune response and whether such an effect could influence the clinical outcome.
The purpose of this study is to determine if individuals who had a stroke more than one year before entering the study and who remain unable to open their affected hand are better able to sense and move their affected arm after 10-15 weeks of treatment with a new robotic therapy device (the AMES device) and EMG biofeedback.
Ankle dorsiflexor weakness (paresis) is one of the most frequently persisting consequences of stroke. The purpose of this exploratory study is to compare two different treatments -- Contralaterally Controlled Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (CCNMES) and Cyclic Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (cNMES) -- for improved recovery of ankle movement and better walking after stroke.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of coenzyme Q10 administration in improving mitochondrial function as measured by anaerobic threshold in older athletes on a stable dose of statin medication.
A double blind randomised placebo controlled parallel trial of the effect of fosinopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, on the quadriceps muscle in 80 COPD patients who have quadriceps weakness. Patients will have a baseline assessment including measures of quadriceps strength and endurance and a quadriceps biopsy. Patients with weakness will be randomised to ACE inhibitor or placebo and re-assessed after three months of treatment. The investigators aim to show that ACE-inhibition will alter the IGF-1/AKT/FoXO/atrogene pathways involved in muscle wasting in COPD.
This is a study of the clinical and neuroimaging of general paresis. The investigators studied six patients with general paresis.
The aim of this research is to investigate critical illness neuromuscular abnormalities in neurocritical care patients.
Impaired hand function is one of the most frequently persisting consequences of stroke. The purpose of this study is to compare two different treatments -- Contralataterally Controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation (CCFES) and Cyclic Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (cNMES) -- for improved recovery of hand function after stroke.
