Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate a cognitive-motor exercise on dual-task interference during dual-task ankle movement and the corresponding alterations of brain activity.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual home care for stroke patients and their caregivers. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the usability of the application by developing a mobile application for use in virtual home visits. The study will be carried out using the mixed research model, in which quantitative and qualitative methods are used together. The population of the research will consist of patients and caregivers with the diagnosis of hemorrhage, infarction, cerebrovascular accident and cerebral infarction, who applied to the Antalya Provincial Health Directorate Antalya Training and Research Hospital Home Health Unit, where the study is planned to be conducted. The sample of the study will consist of stroke patients and caregivers who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study. The first phase of the study was designed as a parallel group, single center and single blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual home visits in terms of time, cost and caregiver competence. The experimental group was the patient/patient relative group who made a virtual home visit, the control group will consist of 48 patients/patient relatives who have been visited face-to-face. In the second phase of the study, semi-structured interview method will be used to determine the views of patients/patient relatives about virtual home visits. In order to evaluate the usability of the developed application, a usability survey will be applied to the group that has visited the virtual home. With the results of this study, telemedicine applications in home care services will help to increase accessibility to home care services and reduce health care costs.considered to contribute. At the same time, it is expected that the results of the study will contribute to the scientific literature in the field of design and application of telemedicine services, which are developing and spreading
Our study will provide precise and intensive speech rehabilitation treatment program to patients with speech disorders after stroke, and compare clinical evaluations with the conventional speech therapy patient group. Clinical evaluation tools will be performed before and after the treatment for all patients - K-Western Aphasia Battery for aphasia assessment tools - Cerebral blood flow changes with near-infrared spectroscopy
Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever large-vessel ischemic stroke patients treated with clopidogrel assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
Analyzing changes in cerebral oximetry, transcranial Doppler and biomarkers of neuronal ischemic injury and blood-brain barrier integrity assessing the safety and efficacy of ischemic postconditioning in carotid surgery (IPCT).
Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever minor stroke or TIA patients treated with clopidogrel and aspirin assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy for treating plantar flexor muscle spasticity in subacute and chronic stroke patients, focusing on its impact on spasticity, joint range of motion, pain, muscle thickness, functional ambulation, and quality of life.
Strokes are one of the leading causes of long term disability and death in the United States. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked, damaging parts of the brain. Many stroke survivors have difficulty completing dexterous hand movements and manipulating objects due brain damage in the sensorimotor cortex. Damage to these areas can cause decreased motor movements and tactile sensation on the affected side. Research shows that tactile sensation is necessary for maintaining grip, grading grip forces and decreasing object slippage. Therefore, it is important to address tactile sensation with motor performance during stroke rehabilitation to improve performance outcomes among stroke survivors.
The goal of this type of study: clinical trial is to assess K-OCS clinical utility in participant population. The main aims: validate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Oxford Cognitive Screen (K-OCS) analyze its sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, and compare its examination participation rates with existing assessment tools to determine the effectiveness of K-OCS in detecting post-stroke cognitive impairment.
Stroke is a neurological disease characterized by neurological deficits caused by insufficiency of blood supply to brain. Disruption of blood supply to brain can be due to blockage of blood supply (ischemic) or leakage of blood in brain due to rupture of blood vessel (hemorrhagic). 90.5% of global occurrence of stroke was subjected to modifiable risk factors according to Global Burden of Disease study. This study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on static standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients.
