Finger Movement Training After Stroke
Human development as a species has been strongly associated with the ability to dexterously manipulate objects and tools. Unfortunately, current therapy efforts typically fail to restore fine manual control after stroke. The goal of this study is to evaluate a new intervention that would combine targeted electrical stimulation of selected …
Epidural Electrical Stimulation for Stroke Patients - Improve Motor and Sensory Function and Alleviate Pain
This study aims to verify whether epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the cervical spinal cord can activate muscles of the upper limbs in people with hemiplegia following a stroke.
EMG Controlled Device in Acute Rehabilitation After Acute Stroke
Stroke is a medically relevant problem for the aging population. Individuals with stroke experience a high amount of arm functional deficits despite receiving rehabilitation. Functional deficits can be improved by combining rehabilitation with innovative rehabilitative tools that target the brain mechanisms that guide the recovery early after stroke. This study …
Operant Conditioning for Rehabilitation After Stroke
The purposes of this study include: To test if multiple upper extremity muscles represented within a discrete primary motor cortex site reflect existing muscle synergies after stroke. To test if altered muscle synergies and intermuscular coordination are malleable to motor evoked potential conditioning that induces corticospinal plasticity for the targeted …
An Engineering-Based Balance Assessment and Training Platform
This is a proposal to develop a Balanced Reach Training Protocol (BRTP) to evaluate and train dynamic standing balance. The BRTP is based upon the Balanced Reach Test (BRT) that the investigators previously developed and validated. In the BRT subjects stand and point to a target disk moving unpredictably across …
Improving Sleep and Learning in Rehabilitation After Stroke, Part 2
This study will explore whether sleep in stroke survivors is improved with digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (Sleepio), in comparison to treatment as usual, and will explore whether changes in sleep relate to changes in overnight consolidation of motor learning.
Robot Aided Rehabilitation - Intervention
Sensorimotor impairments following stroke often involve complex pathological changes across multiple joints and multiple degrees of freedom of the arm and hand, thereby rendering them difficult to diagnose and treat. The objective of this study is to evaluate multi-joint neuromechanical impairments in the arm and hand, then conduct impairment-specific treatment, …
Mirror Therapy With Cutaneous Electrical Sensory Stimulation on Lower Limb Motor Functions in Stroke
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of concurrent mirror therapy (MT) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in augmenting the efficacy of the lower limb task-oriented training in people with stroke. It is hypothesize that MT combined with TENS would be superior to sham-mirror therapy with TENS, or MT …
The Whole Day Matters After Stroke (BIG-STEPS)
Goal of research program: To understand person-specific factors, such as imaging markers and activity patterns early after stroke, that may guide precision rehabilitation to optimize function and improve recovery. Objectives Test the effect of reducing sedentary behaviour early after stroke on functional mobility and global disability outcomes. Determine the impact …
Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality Combined With Task-Specific Training on Hemiplegic Arm Function Following Stroke: A Single Case Series Study.
The purpose of this research study is to understand the efficacy of using an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment, with task-specific training, to encourage arm movement following stroke.
