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 …
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 …
Home-based Arm and Hand Exercise Program for Stroke: A Multisite Trial
The goal of this multisite clinal trial is to evaluate the implementation of the home-based Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) at rehabilitation clinics across several hospitals. The main questions it aims to answer is: • the efficacy of the home-based GRASP program relative to the conventional occupational therapy intervention …
Effects of Exoskeleton-Assisted Gait Training on Functional Rehabilitation Outcomes in Patients With Stroke
The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of electromechanical exoskeleton-assisted gait training on rehabilitation functional outcomes in patients with stroke undergoing therapy in an in-patient rehabilitation facility.
Novel Brain Neurotechnology for Optimizing Precision Mirror Therapy in Stroke
The primary aim of this project will be to determine the effects of the tRNS-augmented unilateral and bilateral MT, and their effects relative to the control interventions (sham tRNS with unilateral or bilateral MT) on restoring health outcomes including motor function, daily function, quality of life and self-efficacy, and motor …
Self-Administered Gaming and Exercise at Home (SAGEH)
This study aims at comparing manual function outcomes between the standard of care and additional self-administered hand therapy after stroke. Strokes are common neurological injuries, and although rates of survival have increased in recent decades, survivors often continue to experience deficiencies in hand dexterity and bimanual function. Most motor recovery …
