Filter by:Patients with chronic stroke (>6 months after stroke) having unilateral upper limb hemiparesis will be recruited. Patients will maintain their usual inpatient rehabilitation including occupational therapy. At baseline (T0) and after 2weeks of enrollment (T1), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) will be assessed at each time. And patients with the changes of FMA between T0 and T1 less than 3 points will be finally recruited. The enrolled patients will receive additional 30-min cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the contralesional motor cortex for 10 consecutive weekdays, with maintaining their usual conventional rehabilitation. At T1 and immediately after 10-seessions of tDCS (T2) and 1 month after completing 10-tDCS session (T3), FMA, Actional Research Arm Test (ARAT), Box and Block Test (BBT) and electroencephalography (EEG) were measured.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of shoulder slings on pain, motor function, daily life and balance in acute hemiplegic patients and to investigate whether different types of slings are superior to each other.
This study aims to examine the feasibility and effect of a home-based short-term telerehabilitation exercise intervention using heart rate monitor and internet platform in patients with lymphoma.
Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) often struggle with complex impairments, including cognitive (such as memory and attention), social, emotional and behavioral challenges. There is a lack of evidence-based knowledge about rehabilitation for children with ABI in the chronic phase. The current study, the CICI Study, is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) directed towards children with ABI and their families in the chronic phase. The study will be conducted in close collaboration with schools and local health care providers. The CICI Study focuses on the child's and parents' individually identified target outcome areas and rehabilitation goals. The intervention aims to enhance everyday functioning in the home and school environment by attaining rehabilitation goals in areas noted as challenging by the participants. The efficacy of the CICI-intervention will be measured in terms of goal attainment, burden of brain injury related symptoms, parenting self-efficacy, unmet health care needs, as well as several aspects of child, parent and family functioning.
Non-myeloablative allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (NMA-HSCT) is associated with innumerable complications and side-effects and a high treatment-related mortality. Maintaining quality of life, physical and psychosocial functioning and participation in society is therefore challenging for patients undergoing treatment with NMA-HSCT. This situation creates an urgent need for rehabilitation for patients to return to a meaningful everyday life, and for knowledge about how to best help this group of patients return to everyday life. The project aims to develop and examine the feasibility and safety of a multimodal interdisciplinary rehabilitation programme targeted patients undergoing treatment with NMA-HSCT. Three studies are planned. Study I is a qualitative interview study to get a profound insight into patients' experiences and challenges after NMA-HSCT. Study II has a single arm longitudinal design with both a feasibility and an outcome component. Patients (N=30) are consecutively recruited at the Department of Haematology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark and enrolled in the 6-month HAPPY programme as soon as the decision about NMA-HSCT is final. Data is collected pre-NMA-HSCT, at 3-month, 6-month and 12-month after NMA-HSCT. Study III is a qualitative interview study, where patients who participated in the rehabilitation programme evaluate the programme's influence on their return to everyday life. The project contributes with knowledge about the feasibility of a rehabilitation programme targeted at a vulnerable group of chronic cancer patients with rare diseases. We will document the impact of an interdisciplinary intervention anchored in the hospital setting but aimed at reaching patients at home. If the intervention enhances quality of life, patient activation and functioning, it may not only reduce the number of hospitalizations and use of healthcare services, but may also allow more patients to maintain contact with the labour market and resume participation in society.
Respiratory exercise training and aerobic exercise training will be given to patients who have been hospitalized in intensive care due to COVID 19 and underwent IMV, who were hospitalized in the service and underwent NIMV or high-flow oxygen inhalation, and whose respiratory symptoms persist after discharge. The patients in the study group will be called by phone once a week and a motivating conversation will be made. No control will be made to the control group. Before and after the training, 6-minute walking test, MRC dyspnea scale, SGRQ quality of life questionnaire and hospital anxiety depression scale will be applied.
ABSTRACT Object: The impact of morbidity and the deterioration in health-related quality of life for patients with lymphedema after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer justify the implementation of prevention programs to decrease the incidence of this chronic condition. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of an experimental prevention program with that of our conventional prevention program. Methods: Clinical randomized trial in two parallel groups over a two-year period. Key words: lymphedema, breast cancer, prevention, rehabilitation
The research will make it possible to assess effects of rehabilitation of arm function with the use of biofeedback method and conventional therapies administered to patients at a chronic stage of recovery post-stroke, as part of the treatment in a health-resort setting.
Feasibility trial investigating the potential higher frequency of robotic assisted early mobilization in intubated COVID19 patients on the ICU.
Background: Conventional face-to-face in-hospital mobility program (MP) is challenging for COVID-19 patients because of its associated risk of infection to hospital staff, staffing shortages as well as indirect risk of exposure to other hospitalized patients. Exergames are digital or web-based games that use body movement to promote physical activity and generally involve strength, balance, and flexibility exercises. The tele-exergame MP, developed by the team, uses a remotely supervised and game-based approach, which helps to increase patient motivation and engagement in a cognitively demanding exercise program. Objectives: To demonstrate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the Tele-Exergame mobility program in COVID-19 or PUI (persons under investigation), during hospitalization and examine post-hospitalization outcomes. Research Design: Prospective randomized
