Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of 360 degree virtual reality-based mirror therapy (360MT) to traditional mirror therapy (TMT) and conventional physical therapy (control group) on upper extremity function among stroke patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Would 360MT be more effective when treated for 4 weeks in outcome measure ments including: Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE); manual function test (MFT); and box & block test (BBT)? - How would particants' experience be in terms of satisfactory and enjoyment during 360MT? The study will have three groups of participants who will be involved in different tasks: - 360MT group: will receive mirror therapy using a virtual reality device (HMD) and perform tasks with their paralyzed hand. Sessions will last 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. - TMT group: will receive mirror therapy using an acrylic mirror and perform finger, wrist, elbow exercises using their paralyzed limb. Sessions will last 30 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. - Control group: will receive conventional physical therapy consisting of exercises for the upper extremity, 60 minutes per day, 5 sessions a week, for 4 weeks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the changes in physiological parameters and clinical scales resulting from treatment with AOT (action observation training) in subjects with subacute stroke. Furthermore, this study assess the perception of applicability and satisfaction degree for this kind of treatments.
In addition to its physiological functions, serum albumin plays a role of neuroprotection in cerebrovascular stroke. The circulating levels of albumin may be reduced in patients with stroke due to the presence of a systemic inflammatory state and to the inadequacy of protein-energy intake. The circulating levels of albumin have proven to be predictors of functional recovery in ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. In the present survey it is hypothesized that it is possible to significantly improve the values of hypoalbuminemia by supplementation with essential amino acids and that, in the second place, any increase in albumin may result in a strengthening of functional recovery in patients with a stroke.
ABSTRACT The muscle strength (MS) is necessary to overcome the resistance encountered during the activity. The present study aims to determine MS loss in stroke individuals (SI). 33 SI and 33 healthy individuals (HI) were included in this study. MS and handgrip force were assessed using a power track dynamometer and Jamar hand dynamometer, respectively. The total MS of the HI was calculated by summing the muscle strength of the trunk, lower and upper extremities. In the SI, the muscle strength of the trunk, unaffected upper and lower extremities were summed to calculate the total MS. To compare MS of unaffected sides (US) between groups, 27 SI who was dominant and not affected on the right side and 33 HI who was dominant on the right side were used.
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and laboratory data of patients who were rehospitalised due to "stroke rehabilitation cause only" The patients who were hospitalized in the hospital between January 2015 and July 2018, according to ICD 10 code; hemiplegia (G81), flaccid hemiplegia (G81.0), hemiplegia, unspecified (G81.9), Spastic hemiplegia (G81.1) scanned from the hospital database.
Task-specific repetitive training, an usual care in occupational therapy practice, and robotic-aided rehabilitation with bilateral practice to improve limb's movement control has been popularised; however the difference in treatment effects between this two therapeutic strategies has been rarely described. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of robotic-assisted therapy with bilateral practice (RTBP) and usual care on task and motor performance for chronic stroke patients.
