Noninvasive Spinal Stimulation in Stroke
This is a randomized control trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke.
Robot-Aided Assessment and Rehabilitation of Upper Extremity Function After Stroke
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of a hybrid-based rehabilitation program for the upper extremity(UE) combining the interventions- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Robotic rehabilitation in individuals with chronic stroke. The main question it aims to answer is if the Hybrid multi-muscle FES+Robot upper extremity …
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Patients With Hemiplegic Stroke
Stroke is one of the major causes of death in the World. Many stroke survivors may suffer from long-term sequelae of stroke such as hemiplegia. The effects of rehabilitation therapy are limited. The development of new treatment strategies is essential. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method to …
The Adaptive Physical Activity Study for Stroke
Despite recent advances in acute stroke intervention, secondary prevention strategies are lacking. Physical activity (PA) is the second largest predictor of stroke and the cornerstone of secondary prevention therapies. Adaptive interventions involve sequential treatments responsive to individuals' performance. Despite guidelines to adapt PA to individuals' needs, there is no evidence …
Cerebellar Stimulation for Aphasia Rehabilitation
The optimal site of neuromodulation for post-stroke aphasia has yet to be established. This study will investigate whether multiple sessions of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) boosts language therapy in helping people recover from aphasia as well as predict who is likely to respond to cerebellar tDCS.
Effects of Aerobic Exercise on the Cerebral Arterial System, Cognitive, and Motor Function in Post-stroke Patients.
Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide and in Hong Kong, 6.2% of all registered deaths in 2020 were due to cerebrovascular disease. Exercise training has the potential to improve the deconditioned hemodynamic, motor, and cognitive functions associated with stroke. Purpose: The proposed study seeks …
Action Observation and Motor Imagery Therapy in Stroke
In recent years, motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) therapy strategies have been used in rehabilitation programs to increase motor learning in stroke. Visuomotor training strategies such as AO and MI therapy rely on the activity of the mirror neuron system to facilitate motor re-learning. Mirror neurons are activated …
Virtual Reality Augmented Gait Adaptation in Stroke Survivors
The major problem in stroke survivors that is being addressed in this research project is walking asymmetry, i.e., difference between the legs during walking (e.g. steps on the more affected side are longer than the other). A potential solution to this problem is using new technology like virtual reality during …
Clinical Relevance of the HD sEMG Signals in the Post-stroke Rehabilitation
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the WPM-SEMG-V2 device (Wireless Portable and Multi-Channel, WPM) designated to acquire high-density (HD) surface electromyography (sEMG) signals in healthy volunteers and post-stroke patients. The main objectives are: 1) to technically and clinically validate the WPM-SEMG-V2 device in healthy volunteers; 2) …
Tracking Post-stroke Walking Improvements From the Clinic Into the Home
The purpose of this proposal is to use novel video-based movement tracking technology to measure gait quality after stroke - in the home. Current rehabilitation practice assesses walking in the highly controlled 'ideal' clinical environment. The implicit assumption by clinicians and researchers is that the way people walk in the …
