This project seeks to evaluate the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on the recovery of motor control of the upper limb and associated neuronal synchrony during a 14-sessions (5-week) rehabilitation program for adult patients with diagnosis of stroke at chronic stage. Specifically, the stimulation on Gamma ranges, because the evidence available so far allows us to propose that the tACS in the Gamma range (around 70 Hz) facilitates motor execution. For this purpose, the experimental approach involves active (70 Hz in Gamma rhythm and 7 Hz, Theta rhythm) and sham tACS together with an analytical and integrated motor training with a double-blind and randomized design. Our hypothesis is that Gamma frequency tACS restores neuronal synchrony in Beta range, which enhances the upper limb motor recovery associated with a training program. Using specific motor control parameters, clinical scales and electroencephalography, the immediate and long-term (3 months after finished the training) behavioral and neurophysiological effect of this new neurostimulation paradigm (tACS plus training) for motor rehabilitation of stroke will be established.
To determine effects of short-intensity modified constraint-induced movement therapy on hand function in stroke patients.
An early discharge of frail elderly individuals from post-acute care services may lead to a decline in their ability to perform daily activities and cause social, emotional, and psychological distress. Montreal West Island Integrated University Health and Social Services Center in Quebec implemented a pilot program called Post-Acute Home Physiotherapy (PAHP) to address this concern. This program aimed to provide a timely and intense out-patient physiotherapy service to ensure maintenance and optimization of the physical capacities acquired in post-acute care and also to contribute acceleration of the turnover of rehabilitation beds. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the PAHP program on the functional independence, physical and mental health of elderly individuals, as well as their safety. Additionally, it aimed to identify the healthcare needs, both physical and psychological, of elderly individuals after their discharge from post-acute care services.
Stroke rehabilitation patients are subjected to additional nature-based therapies during a rehabilitation ward period.
In the case of spinal cord injury, patients have shown a passive attitude towards participating in leisure sports or exercise programs, and there is a lack of suitable guidelines or experience in the local community for coaching exercise and sports for spinal cord injury patients, which makes coaches feel burdened when coaching these patients. Therefore, in this study, a suitable comprehensive exercise program will be designed and prescribed for patients who reside in the local community and want to participate in leisure sports, and the effectiveness and safety of the program will be verified. Based on the results, the aim of the study is to provide evidence that spinal cord injury patients can exercise safely and confidently in the local community in the future.
This study was performed on 42 patients, who underwent arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Acıbadem Maslak Hospital. 42 patients randomly assigned to 14 synchronized telerehabilitation, 14 asynchronous telerehabilitation, 14 conventional physiotherapy groups and included in the study. The evaluation form created for the provision of demographic information are used. Primary outcome measures are muscle strength, range of motion (ROM) and pain intensity. Secondary outcome measures are general health profile and functional status assessment of the knee joint . Evaluation methods: All evaluations were performed in the preoperative period, 10. day, 6. week and 6. month postoperatively. ROM and pain measurements repeated every week during the 6-week rehabilitation process. Pain, general health profile and functional status assessment of the knee joint were assessed via a telerehabilitation application, Albert Health Assistant. Postoperative first day, the 14-day exercise program was taught to all patients practically and was given as a brochure. Patients in the synchronized telerehabilitation group started physiotherapy postoperative 14. day, met with the physiotherapist in real time via the Albert Health Assistant application and they were treated 2 days a week until 6. week. In the remaining days, they asked to follow the exercise videos uploaded to the Albert system, it was checked whether they are doing daily exercises, and a daily reminder message was sent via the system. The exercise program for the asynchronous telerehabilitation group was uploaded to the Albert Health Assistant as a video from the 14th day in the form of 2-week programs. It was checked over the system whether the patients apply these videos on a daily basis, and a message reminding the daily routine exercise program was sent through the system. Patients in the supervised physiotherapy group started to take supervized rehabilitation after 10-14 days postoperatively, 2 times a week until 6th week postoperatively in Maslak Acıbadem Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Department. ROM, Pain, functional and general health evaluations of the patients in this group were performed on the online platform. In addition, daily routine exercises will be followed over the Albert system on the days they do not come for treatment.
TITLE: Exergaming with Immersive Virtual Reality for people with Multiple Sclerosis INTRO: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune and chronic neurodegenerative pathology caused by loss of the myelin sheath in the nervous system, causing motor, cognitive, behavioral and sensory symptoms. Conventional physiotherapy often includes exercise therapies, based on repetitive performances that can sometimes be unmotivating for patients. Immersive Virtual Reality could offer programs based on exercise (exergames) that are motivating, as well as appropriate to the therapeutic objectives of the target group. This tool has already been successfully tested in other groups (post stroke, Parkinson's,...) with promising results. Our ExeRVIEM project (Exergaming with Immersive Virtual Reality in Multiple Sclerosis) represents a new strategy to improve functionality in people with MS, using an exercise program with Virtual Reality glasses. HYPOTHESIS: The practice of the ExeRVIEM protocol based on physical function training in people with MS contributes to the maintenance and improvement of functional capacities, reducing the number of falls and increasing their personal autonomy. GENERAL OBJECTIVES: 1.1 Design and implement an ExeRVIEM exercise program/protocol to improve balance in older people 1.2 Analyze the effects of this ExeRVIEM program/protocol, in the short and medium term in people who attend an Association of patients. 1.3 Identify if there is a relationship between the variables that induce frailty and functional dependence and the ExeRVIEM protocol. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: 2.1 Determine and apply the ExeRVIEM protocol to explore differential effects for 6 minutes a day (2 days a week for 8 weeks). 2.1.1 Improving the functional independence and mobility of people by improving balance, reducing the risk of falls and the correct development of activities of daily living. 2.1.2 Gait improvement. 2.1.3 Improved functionality. 2.1.4 Improving grip strength. 2.1.5 Improving reaction times. 2.1.6 Improving the perception of fatigue 2.2 Determine the influence of parameters related to exposure to RVI. 2.2.1 Safety of the virtual reality exhibition 2.2.2 Usability of the virtual reality exhibition 2.2.3 Personal experiences and satisfaction of the virtual reality exhibition METHODS: Design: Randomized controlled trial. People diagnosed with MS who attend the AVEMPO VIGO center in Spain on a regular basis will be invited to participate in the study. After they meet the selection criteria, they will be assigned to an experimental group and a control group. Information on the sociodemographic characteristics and a clinical history of the participants will be collected. Intervention: Two groups (experimental and control). The experimental group will carry out the ExeRVIEM protocol sessions (6 min) focused on the upper and lower limbs. (2 sessions per week for 8 weeks). All sessions will begin with a warm-up focused on stimulating coordination and joint mobilization, so that the body is predisposed both centrally and peripherally to carry out the session and will end with a stretching routine accompanied by breathing calm and controlled cycles. The session will be supervised by the center's physiotherapist or occupational therapist. The control group will continue with the usual activities proposed by the center team. Evaluations: 3 evaluations will be carried out: initial, final (at 8 weeks) and follow-up (one month after the end of the program). The contents of the evaluations will be: Patient characteristics: "Ad hoc" record sheet that will include data on age, sex, years since diagnosis, MS subtype, and drug treatment. 1. ExeRVIEM protocol. Safety (Simulator Sickness Questionnaire), Usability (System Usability Scale) and personal experiences (Game Experience Questionnaire and "ad hoc" interview notebook) 2. Balance, gait and risk of falling (Tinetti Test) 3. Functional mobility and lower limb strength (Five times sit to stand test) 4. Functional autonomy (Timed Up and Go Test- simple and cognitive) 5. Fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale) 6 Handgrip (dynamometer) 7. Reaction time (Rezzil Software) Hypothesis: Our findings aim to support the use of new health technologies in the field of rehabilitation and medical care for people with MS, achieving a feasible and safe Immersive Virtual Reality exergaming program.
