The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 6-weeks of reactive balance training (REACT) with and without neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to paretic lower limb muscles on biomechanical, clinical, neuromuscular and neuroplastic outcomes of reactive balance control. This project is a Phase-I study and incorporates a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial design. Methods: Forty-six individuals with chronic stroke will be recruited and screened for determining their eligibility for the study. Once enrolled, they will be randomized into either of the two groups: intervention group (23 participants) and control group (23 participants). Both groups will undergo series of pre-training assessments which includes a postural disturbance in the form of a slip- or trip-like perturbations and walking tests in laboratory environment. After the pre-training assessment, individuals will undergo 6-weeks of training (2 hour per session, 2 sessions per week). The intervention group will receive NMES with the REACT training and the control group will receive ShamNMES. NMES will be applied to the different muscle groups of the paretic lower limb using an advanced software which is able to synchronize muscle activation with the time of perturbation onset and according to the phases of gait. After training, both groups will again be tested on all the assessments performed pre training. This study will help us understand the immediate therapeutic and mechanistic effects of REACT+NMES and inform stroke rehabilitation research and clinical practice. Our study will provide foundational evidence for future use of NMES to implement clinically applicable neuromodulation adjuvants to reactive balance training, which could be leveraged for designing more effective future interventions for fall-risk reduction.
The present clinical investigation - EarlyExo, is an interventional, international, multicentric, prospective, single-blinded randomized controlled trial. This clinical investigation is designed to test the hypothesis that early and intense introduction of walking sessions assisted by the Atalante exoskeleton, in a sample of hemiparetic patients with still non or poor ambulatory capacities (FAC 0 or 1) between one- and four-months post stroke, would result in a better recovery of functional walking compared to a control group only receiving conventional therapy. Improved recovery will be measured through the proportion of patients reaching a FAC score of 4 or higher at the end of the intervention period. The tested hypothesis is that this proportion will be higher in the Exo group. The duration of the intervention period in both groups is 6 weeks. - For the Exo group: 3 sessions per week (i.e., 18 one-hour sessions) with the Atalante device and 2 sessions per week (i.e., 12 one-hour sessions) of conventional therapy. - For the Control group: 5 sessions per week of conventional therapy (i.e., 30 one-hour sessions). The study will include 66 patients (33 in each arm) and takes place in two French centers, two German centers and one Spanish center.
Chronic intracranial arterial occlusion is associated with a "bidirectional stroke risk," with a significantly increased risk of both ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Currently, Western CTAP products, in combination with clinical expertise, offer some predictive value for assessing the risk of ischemic events by evaluating compensatory pathways and overall perfusion in chronic intracranial arterial occlusion. However, there is limited support for assessing the risk of hemorrhagic events. Our proposed project aims to address a significant scientific challenge: the precise assessment of long-term stroke risk in asymptomatic patients with chronic intracranial arterial occlusion using a machine learning-based approach. The rapidly advancing field of machine learning provides a rich set of solutions for tackling this problem. In this project, we intend to develop a deep learning-based segmentation model for key brain regions using multimodal CT scans. Subsequently, we will automate the extraction of radiomic features and CT perfusion parameters, followed by the application of machine learning techniques to construct a stroke risk prediction model tailored for patients with chronic intracranial arterial occlusion.
The purpose of this research is to better understand the impact of cortically-induced blindness (CB) and the compensatory strategies subjects with this condition may develop on naturalistic behaviors, specifically, driving. Using a novel Virtual Reality (VR) program, the researchers will gather data on steering behavior in a variety of simulated naturalistic environments. Through the combined use of computer vision, deep learning, and gaze-contingent manipulations of the visual field, this work will test the central hypothesis that changes to visually guided steering behaviors in CB are a consequence of changes to the visual sampling and processing of task-related motion information (i.e., optic flow).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the COOLSTAT® Transnasal Thermal Regulating Device in reducing temperature in a population of febrile subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
People living with stroke have very low aerobic fitness, which can negatively impact brain health. Identifying the best exercise which includes exercise stimulus type (interval, continuous) or intensity, how hard to exercise (moderate, high) that benefit aerobic fitness, vascular health, and the brain's main blood vessels after stroke are unknown. This study is designed to determine the preliminary efficacy of high-volume HIIT to moderate intensity exercise using a seated stepper exercise device that allows the arms and legs to move back and forth.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with high early mortality, unfavorable neurological outcomes, and high cost of care. To date, the role of DTI-guided minimally invasive hematoma evacuation in ICH is still uncertain. The investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial, as well as a concurrent prospective observational study including all ICH patients who decline participation in the trial and will therefore receive minimally invasive hematoma evacuation or best medical therapy and consent to be followed up. All participants will be followed up at the same time using the same outcomes measures. The primary outcome will be collected by a blinded assessor.

Upper limb motor impairment is one of the most common sequelae after stroke. Indeed, the recovery of upper limb sensory-motor functions remains one of the most important goals in stroke rehabilitation. In the last years, new approaches in neurorehabilitation field has been investigated to enhance motor recovery. The use of wearable devices combined with surface electromyography (i.e. sEMG) electrodes allows to detect patients muscle activation during motor performance. Moreover, sEMG is used to provide to the patients the biofeedback about their muscle activity during exercises execution to enhance motor control and motor recovery. The aim of the study is to define the efficacy of using REMO® (Morecognition srl, Turin,Italy) for hand motor recovery after stroke. A randomised-controlled trial will be conducted compared to a task-oriented training, in hand motor rehabilitation after stroke. 28 patients with diagnosis of first stroke event will be enrolled in this study. After randomization process, participants will be allocated in Experimental Group (REMO training) or in Control Group (task-oriented training). The participants will be assessed before and after the treatment and sEMG will be collected during 12 hand movements. The treatment will consist of 15 sessions (1h/day, 5day/week, 3 weeks). Finally, the sEMG of the same 12 hand movements will be collected from 15 healthy subjects to compare muscle activation with a normal reference model.
