Hybrid Robot+FES Stroke Rehablitation
The investigators have developed a novel robot-guided stretching under intelligent control and combine it with active movement training, which helped increase joint ROM, reduce spasticity and joint stiffness, increase muscle force output, and improve locomotion. However, for stroke survivors with sensorimotor impairment, their peripheral muscle may not sufficiently be recruited. …
Cortical Priming to Optimize Gait Rehabilitation in Stroke: a Renewal
Achieving functional ambulation post stroke continues to be a challenge for stroke survivors, clinicians, and researchers. In the effort to enhance outcomes of motor training, cortical priming using brain stimulation has emerged as a promising adjuvant to conventional rehabilitation. This project focuses on the development of a long term gait …
Cognition and Motor Learning Post-stroke
This project seeks to determine how post-stroke cognitive impairment moderates motor learning during walking in older adults with chronic stroke and identify brain structural markers that mediate this relationship. The chosen experimental design integrates biomechanical analyses, neuropsychological assessments, and brain imaging techniques to determine the impact of post-stroke cognitive impairment …
Implementation of a HABIT-ILE Intervention at Home for Chronic Stroke
This study will use a randomized controlled trial design to assess the possible difference between two intensive treatment programs: a classic "Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities" (HABIT-ILE) therapy and a HABIT-ILE therapy implemented at the patient's home. Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the …
Model-informed Patient-specific Rehabilitation Using Robotics and Neuromuscular Modeling
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the primary cause of long-term disability in the United States, affecting approximately 795,000 people each year. Hemiparesis, or unilateral weakness, is common after stroke and responsible for changes in muscle activation and movement patterns as well as declines in walking speed. …
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.
Ultra-Early, Minimally inVAsive intraCerebral Haemorrhage evacUATion Versus Standard trEatment
A randomized controlled trial of ultra-early, minimally invasive, hematoma evacuation versus standard care within 8 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke due to supratentorial, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage >20mL volume will be assessed to determine their eligibility for randomization into the trial. If the patient …
Efficacy and Acceptability of the Luna EMG Rehabilitation Robot on Motor Recovery of the Upper Limb in the Chronic Phase of Stroke
Recent work on large cohorts of chronic stroke (>6 months post-stroke) have shown that intensive training of the upper limb in the chronic stroke patients can lead to substantial motor and functional gains that are maintained at 6 months post intervention. A very prolonged (12 weeks) and very intensive (5 …
Locomotor Recovery and Compensation Post-stroke (LRC)
The proposed research will characterize of the time course of neurological and locomotor recovery as well as development of compensatory strategies throughout sub-acute and chronic phases post stroke. In addition, we will also investigate the extent to which measures of recovery and compensation are malleable and can be altered with …
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 …
