Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization versus pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on trunk control, postural stability and mobility in stroke patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there any difference in effects of stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization versus pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on trunk control, postural stability and mobility in stroke patients? Researchers will compare stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization to pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to see if there any difference in effects of stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization versus pelvic proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on trunk control, postural stability and mobility in stroke patient. Participants will be divided into two groups: Group A will receive stabilizing reversals and rhythmic reversals technique. The patient will perform 3 sets with 15 repetitions in each session, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. Group B will receive Pelvic PNF protocol. The treatment protocol will be followed 5 days a week for 8 weeks (i.e. 20 sessions) and each session will last for 30 minutes.
To compare effects of exteroceptive and proprioceptive sensory stimulation versus sensorimotor therapy on spasticity, motor function and activities of daily living in patients with stroke
Early identification of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) may impact the management of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The aim of the study is to develop and validate a scoring system for pre-thrombectomy diagnosis of ICAD in posterior circulation large vessel/distal medium vessel occlusion strokes (LVOs/DMVOs).
The present observational study aims to determine the degree of adherence to the recommendations of clinical guidelines regarding the prevention of cardiovascular complications in patients hospitalized due to a cardiovascular event.
The upper limbs play an essential role for safe and efficient walking in healthy persons and persons post-stroke. Nevertheless, in current post-stroke gait rehabilitation (research) the upper limbs are barely targeted. To address this gap, my project aims to investigate the selective motor control of the upper limbs during walking and the contribution of the cortical activity to the arm swing in independent walkers after stroke. To gain insight in the direct effects of stroke on the arm swing, the primary motor control of the arm swing will be evaluated by determining muscle synergies (i.e group of muscles working together as a task-specific functional unit). Additionally, the cortical activity (EEG-analysis) during walking of persons post-stroke will be compared to healthy controls and the relationship between stroke-induced changes in cortical activity and arm swing deviations will be assessed. Furthermore, I will evaluate whether improvements in cortical activity relate to improvements in primary motor control of the arm swing. This innovative project will be the first to investigate the direct coupling between the cortex and the muscle synergies in persons post-stroke during independent walking to investigate the arm swing. These fundamental insights in the primary motor control of the arm swing and the contribution of the cortical activity will allow to develop targeted interventions aiming to improve arm swing and as such optimize post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Research questions: 1. How can muscle synergies explain arm swing alterations in independent walkers after stroke? 2. How do stroke-induced changes in cortical activity relate to arm swing deviations in persons after stroke? 3. Are changes in primary motor control of the upper limb during walking related to normalization of brain activity in independent walkers after stroke?
The results of previous studies were used to assess the causal association between TK levels and stroke occurrence at 5 and 12 years of follow-up, respectively.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) can improve neurological rehabilitation in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can rTMS Promote Recovery of Limb Impairment in Patients with Acute Ischemia? Can rTMS Cause Changes in the Functional Connections of Brain Networks in Patients? Researchers will compare rTMS therapy to non-stimulation therapy to see if rTMS is effective in promoting neurological recovery from ischemic stroke. Participants will: Receive rTMS or sham stimulation with LF-rTMS on the contralateral M1 of the brain lesion for 20 minutes, 1200 pulses, 120% RMT, and a treatment period of 5 days； Be evaluated on a scale before and after treatment
This is a single-center retrospective observational study in which we consecutively selected patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction from September 2019 to March 2024 at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. Inclusion criteria: 1. CMR was completed during all hospitalizations; 2. complete clinical data; 3. received continuous cardiac monitoring during hospitalization. Exclusion criteria: 1. unclear or non-compliant CMR images; 2. previous history of myocardial infarction; 3. malignant tumors diseases. Dedicated cardiovascular imaging software CVI42 (cvi42® version 5.13.5, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, Canada) was used for image analysis. LA strain was obtained by cardiac MRI feature tracking. Patient prognosis was obtained through chart notes and telephone follow-up. Major events included atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality.
The epidemiology of TOAST classification in Asian patients seems to differ due to the higher rates of large-artery atherosclerosis. The complex pathology of atherosclerosis could lead to recurrent stroke, including shear stress on the endothelium, disturbance of the flow, occlusion at the origin of the perforating artery, and other complications (plaque inflammation, plaque hemorrhage, plaque rupture) that could lead to stroke and recurrent stroke. Therefore, The exact determination of the etiology of stroke due to atherosclerosis is the most critical factor for treatment and prognostic. On the other hand, HR-MRI could be a useful imaging modality to evaluate the characteristics of plaque in stroke patients due to atherosclerosis stenosis, which will help us find out the etiology of stroke. Previous studies have demonstrated its prognosis value in predicting recurrent stroke in the same vascular territory. The investigators hypothesize that with an appropriate evaluation, HR-MRI could help to predict recurrent stroke in the same vascular territory in patients with high-risk plaque characteristics on HR-MRI. These findings could contribute to individual treatment according to etiology. The investigators intend to conduct a study to determine the correlation between plaque characteristics and recurrent stroke in the same vascular territory in ischemic stroke patients due to middle cerebral artery stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how visual orientation discrimination and metacognition (i.e., perceptual confidence) are affected by occipital stroke that causes hemianopia and quadrantanopia in adults. This research will provide insight as to how the residual visual system, which not directly damaged by the occipital stroke, processes orientation (assayed in terms of orientation discrimination) and metacognition (by measuring perceptual confidence for orientation discrimination). These measures will be used to refine computational models that attempt to explain how the brain copes with loss of primary visual cortex (V1) as a result of stroke. This knowledge is essential to devise more effective visual rehabilitation therapies for patients suffering from occipital strokes.
