Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to study the effects of aerobic exercise during the early rehabilitation after ischemic stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How is the recovery of motor function affected by regularly walking during the first 90 days after an ischemic stroke? - Does regularly walking during the first 90 days after ischemic stroke affect cognition, physical comfort and the immune system? Participants will exert a heart rate controlled walking programme of walking 3-5 times 30-45 minutes per week. Researchers will compare the recovery of the walking group to a control group without any demands regarding physical exercise.
There has been A-level evidence for the effectiveness of inhibitory rTMS of the contralesional M1 hand region in stroke patients in the acute stage. However, it has been reported to be ineffective in the chronic stage. In addition, it has been reported that the patient group benefiting from rTMS is mostly those with moderate to mild motor impairment. In contrast, a recent randomized controlled study has reported that ipsilesional excitatory rTMS or contra-lesional inhibitory rTMS may also have positive effects in stroke patients with severe upper limb motor impairment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the contralesional primary motor cortex, by using the rTMS parameters specified in the current recommendation guide, on motor function, activities of daily living, and quality of life in subacute stroke patients with severe upper limb motor impairment.
This research program aims at investigating the effects of upper-limb robotic therapy primed with interactive exergaming as an innovative hybrid regimen in stroke rehabilitation.
This proposed research is in line with the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) Innovative Research Grant priority to address innovative treatment strategies for neurological disorders that are in desperate need of scientific scrutiny. Stroke is one of the major medical conditions that leads to long-term disability and causes a heavy health care and financial burden. To meet multiple needs of patients with stroke, hybrid interventions that combine different approaches and practices in different settings are needed based on the complexity of stroke. Our previous research funded by the NHRI has been published and translated to stroke rehabilitation. Extending our previous research, the investigators will study the benefits of novel rehabilitation regimens of mirror therapy preceding augmented reality as well as the effects of practice setting (i.e., clinic- vs. home-based settings). In line with the current trend for the development of mirror therapy, mirror therapy will be implemented based on the bilateral and unilateral approach. Augmented reality will be implemented as a means of exergaming with real-time feedback to motivate the patients with stroke for active participation. In addition, telehealth techniques will be used to monitor home practice. This research is innovative in the use of telehealth techniques that will meet the call for therapy outside of the clinical settings in the era of COVID-19 pandemic.
In the literature, it has been observed that traditional balance training (TBT) and robot-assisted walking training (RAGT) in stroke patients stimulate the balance mechanism by supporting the spinal muscles symmetrically and functionally. However, it is seen that there is no clear protocol for RAGT in the chronic period. Combined RAGT and TBT approaches over ten weeks have been shown to be more effective than TBT alone for the acute and subacute period. However, there is no definite expression for chronic period effects. No study was found in the literature in which an objective measuring device was used for balance assessment of patients receiving TBT and RAGT. If changes are detected between the two treatment groups in balance education in stroke patients as a result of objective evaluation, our study will lead to the necessity of including these changes in the treatment. Considering the effect of balance on activities of daily living, we believe that objective evaluation of the changes in balance after TBT and RAGT in stroke patients and shaping the treatment according to the evaluation results will contribute to the literature.
The aim of the study is the development and scientific substantiation of the effectiveness and safety of multimodal rehabilitation technology using innovative digital technologies, biofeedback (BFB), virtual reality (VR), neurointerface for the restoration of stato-locomotor disorders, neuromuscular control of upper limb movements and cognitive functions in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) in different recovery periods with rehabilitation risks control in outpatient clinic.
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of digital interactive technology with artificial intelligence and biofeedback Smart glove "SensoRehab" for restoration of in-hand manipulation in patients with ischemic stroke in the early and late recovery periods.
In this study, the investigators will (1) examine immediate and long-term effects of MT priming with task-specific training versus MT-priming with impairment-oriented training, relative to a dose-matched control therapy on motor function, arm activities, quality of life, etc; (2) provide comprehensive evaluations based on the ICF model to identify the specific benefits of MT-priming regimens; and (3) explore demographic and clinical characteristics of participants that may predict treatment outcomes.
This study is a multi-center, interventional, experimental, prospective, controlled and randomized study. We propose a reeducation protocol based on an early over-solicitation of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles to promote their "awakening", limit the loss of strength associated with the functional loss and thus allow to reach a more effective walking activity. This should encourage social participation following discharge from the hospital. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of this 6 weeks program on walking speed.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sensory training, which will be applied to the trunk in addition to Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk functions, sense, balance and gait. The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Bobath-based and trunk-focused exercises on trunk functional capacity, balance and gait performance. Our study consists of two groups: Bobath-based trunk training group and, sensory training group in addition to Bobath-based trunk training. The information of individuals who agree to participate in the study and meet the criteria for admission to the study will be recorded with a demographic information form. The scales, questionnaires and tests determined to evaluate the individual's trunk position sense and functions, balance and walking performance will be applied before and after the study.
