This study proposes a novel stroke rehabilitation approach for upper extremity training by firstly combining different types of distal robot-assisted and task-oriented therapy in a circuit training program. The program could enhance UE functions, improving daily function, decrease caregiver burden and lower medical expenses associated with long-term care. Professionals can use these findings to promote the application of clinically empirical research and better understand the effects and mechanisms of circuit training.
Ischemic stroke accounts for 80% of all strokes and there is a lack of effective treatment options.Mechanical thrombectomy can significantly improve the vascular recanalization rate and reduce the disability rate of stroke, but the problem of reperfusion injury caused by vascular recanalization is more prominent than before. The most common manifestation of reperfusion injury is postoperative hemorrhage transformation in the infarct area, which is caused by the inability of blood vessels to tolerate normal perfusion pressure after endothelial cell injury.Therefore, in addition to using necessary strategies to reduce the risk of bleeding before and during surgery, maintaining an appropriate and individualized perfusion pressure after surgery is also an important strategy to prevent and treat postoperative bleeding. Lead a multicenter, randomized, controlled study looking at Individuation lowers blood pressure.( Drop systolic blood pressure to 90-110mmHg，Blood pressure not lower than 90/60 mm Hg，The reduced blood pressure was maintained for 48 hours). Influence of the incidence of hemorrhage transformation caused by reperfusion injury after mechanical thrombectomy and prognosis (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and proportion of patients with mRS≤2) at 48hours, 14 and 90 days after surgery.Thus, provide clinical evidence for blood pressure management strategy after mechanical thrombectomy.
The investigators aimed To analyze effect of modified constraint induced movement therapy on upper extremity functions and quality of life of subacute and chronic phase stroke patients with right/left hemisphere damage. A total of 40 patients (20 patients with right hemiplegia and 20 patients with left hemiplegia) were enrolled in our prospective, randomized and controlled trial. Patients were randomized in to three groups. The first group consists of 10 right hemiplegia patients and the second group consists of 10 left hemiplegia patients. First and second group of patients had 10 sessions of constraint induced movement therapy as groups of 4, 5 days a week. Each patient had modified constraint induced movement therapy 1 hour a day with professional support and performed home program by themselves 3 hours a day. Patients' less affected hands were limited by the help of a glove %50 of the time they were awake. Patients were examined before treatment, just after treatment and 3 months after treatment using Box-Block Test, cubes lined, card turned and object gripped in 30 seconds, time it takes to grip and carry a water filled glass to their mouth and putting it back, Motor Activity Log (MAL), Stroke Impact Scale, Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment Scale.
40% of patients with Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB) appearing during the acute phase of stroke show a respiratory pattern characterized by central apnoeas and/or periodic breathing. Clinical studies conducted in patients with hearth failure and central apnoeas have demonstrated the pathogenetic central role of hypersensitivity of central and peripheral chemoreceptors in association with baroreflex hypersensitivity, expression of hyperactivity of sympathetic nervous system. The joint study of chemoreflexes and baroreflexes in patients with central apneas during the acute and subacute phase of ischemic stroke represents, to our knowledge, a novelty in literature, that should supply useful elements to clarify the pathogenesis and the clinical and prognostic significance of these disorders. Investigators expect a difference in the analysis of the baroreflexes and chemoreflexes in patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and central apnoeas than patients with ischemic stroke not accompanied by respiratory problems and compared with healthy controls.
