Filter by:Stroke is the third leading cause of functional disability and death in the world. It leads to many problems that affect gait, upper extremity function and balance. In stroke patients balance dysfunction leads to impaired postural control and walking. Because of poor balance fall rate increases in stroke patients. Balance is an important predictor of outcome in stroke rehabilitation. After stroke difficulties in balance control may be caused by multiple factors such as muscle weakness, impaired proprioception, and asymmetry in weight wearing, spasticity and impaired motor control. Different means are used to treat stroke, some conventional treatments along with new adjunct therapies are usual practice for the rehabilitation of the stroke. Virtual Reality is choice of adjunct therapy now a days and can be used in different ways for the rehabilitation. Virtual Reality or active video gaming proved their role as vital part of the treatment program in pediatric rehabilitation as well as adult rehabilitation program. These programs help the patient to achieve goals for functional and activities of daily living skills.
There is a paucity of research on the correlation between postural control and upper extremity function. Analyzing the mechanisms of postural deficits and related problems is believed to give idea for any conceivable advance in future rehabilitation strategies in patients with stroke. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of scapular exercises on the scapular stability and trunk control. We hypothesized that scapular exercises correct the scapular position and improve postural control. Hence the reaching out movement can be applied in a controlled and fluent manner at the end of the treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine what amount of physical therapy is beneficial in the hospital setting after suffering a stroke. This study involves research. The investigators propose to enroll 150 individuals with acute stroke admitted to MUSC over the next 12 months and randomize them into increased frequency and usual care PT treatment groups. This study will be designed as a randomized control trial. If a patient agrees to participate, they will be assigned (at random) to either a treatment group which will receive more frequent therapy services or to the control group which will receive the "standard" amount of therapy services currently provided in the hospital setting (~3-5 times per week). By studying the balance, walking and success of patients in the treatment group compared with the control group- the researchers hope to better understand the effect of more frequent physical therapy services on your independence post stroke.
The objective of this RCT is to explore the clinical, functional and neurophysiological effectiveness of RE-assisted (Robotic Exoskeleton) early intervention gait therapy in stroke patients during inpatient and outpatient stroke rehabilitation as compared to traditional gait training in three groups: 1) RE; 2) RE-Standard of Care (SOC) and 3) SOC. We will evaluate the short and long-term effects on functional mobility, clinical, neurophysiological, community participation and quality of life.
When it comes to acute stroke, everyone deserves the best care. Today, more patients can benefit from endovascular treatment (EVT) in a comprehensive stroke center. With the significant advances in C-arm Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imagings directly in the neuro angio-suite (NAS), the investigators are now able to identify, plan and treat stroke patients in the NAS, without the need for a separate CT scan. This provides valuable, time-saving support for critical patients in acute need of EVT. The main objective is to assess the diagnostic confidence of this optimized C-arm Cone Beam CT, named in french ASO, in the NAS for the detection of brain abnormalities and hemorrhagic complications for critical patients with acute stroke. The secondary objectives are to study the variability of the diagnostic accuracy concerning the staging of the stroke, the analysis of the brain vessel, the relevance of artefact reduction post treatment and the amount of dose for this ASO.
This is a randomized clinical trial to study the effect of tDCS in participants with subacute ischemic stroke, the study participants will be randomly assigned into three groups; bihemispheric, unihemispheric and sham group.
TELEstroke to CAre for STroke Patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center (TELECAST-CSC) during the COVID-19 pandemic is a pre-post study evaluating guideline-based acute ischemic stroke care following the implementation of inpatient telestroke at a comprehensive stroke center during the COVID-19 global pandemic. TELECAST-CSC compares two cohorts: the "in-person phase" (December 1, 2019-March 15, 2020), when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered conventionally in-person and the "telestroke phase" (March 16, 2020-June 29, 2020) when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered exclusively via telestroke as part of our healthcare system's pandemic response. We studied the following primarily clinical endpoints: diagnostic stroke evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, health screening and evaluation, stroke education, mortality, and stroke recurrence and readmission rates.
There is currently no prospective study analyzing the effect of tracheostomy with bedside simultaneous gastrostomy versus tracheostomy with delayed gastrostomy placement (TSG versus TDG) on the outcomes of neurocritically-ill patients. The investigators will study TSG via concomitant PDT and PUG procedures, while TDG will occur per usual care. This study is a prospective randomized open-label blinded endpoint study to assess the effect of tracheostomy with bedside simultaneous gastrostomy (TSG) versus the usual care of tracheostomy with delayed gastrostomy (TDG) placement on outcomes of neurocritically-ill patients.
Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are at risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis. Although there is a risk assessment model for hemorrhagic transformation after thrombolysis, there is no evidence of clinical application in the population of Guangdong Province. . Purpose: To verify the clinical application effect of the existing risk assessment model for hemorrhage transformation after thrombolysis in the local population; to improve the existing prediction model and verify the predictive value of HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods: (1) Continuously collect AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 to verify the clinical application effects of three existing models (HAT, SIT-sICH, THRIVE) on bleeding transformation. Collect baseline and bleeding transformation information within 7 days after thrombolysis, and use ROC curve, calibration curve, sensitivity and specificity to evaluate the prediction effect. A logistic regression model was used to construct an improved HT prediction model based on the AIC principle; (2) Continuous collection of AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis in two local hospitals from January 2021 to December 2022 for internal and external verification. Expected results: (1) Evaluate the clinical application value of the existing prediction model in local AIS patients with intravenous thrombolysis; (2) Develop a modified risk assessment model suitable for hemorrhage transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients in Guangdong area, and evaluate the risk early Provide guarantee for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Stroke, also called cerebrovascular disease, is a sudden-onset neurological disorder that causes a regional or general dysfunction in the brain due to vascular causes. Dysphagia, one of the common complications of stroke, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical evaluation of swallowing in stroke patients and to determine the factors affecting the severity and prognosis of dysphagia in patients with dysphagia.Fifty-five patients with acute stroke and dysphagia who were admitted to Ankara City Hospital Neurology Clinic and diagnosed with stroke by neurology and who did not meet the exclusion criteria will be included in this study. When the patients are admitted to the neurology clinic and will be discharged, they will be evaluated three times, in the first month after discharge.
