Inspiratory Muscle Training After Stroke
Objective: To investigate and compare the efficacy of a 6-week, supervised respiratory training program using the AiroFit PRO™ mobile respiratory trainer against traditional Pursed-Lips Breathing exercises in individuals with hemiplegia. Study Design: A single-blind, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. Participants: Ambulatory adults with stable hemiplegia (≥3 months post-stroke), who are medically …
Effects of Low-level Laser Therapy on Spasticity and Gait Parameters in Chronic Stroke Patients With Spastic Plantar Flexors
Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Many patients who survive a stroke experience muscle stiffness (called spasticity), especially in the ankle and foot muscles, which makes walking difficult and painful. Spasticity in the plantar flexor muscles those that help push the foot down can lead …
The Effects of the Control Strategies of Wearable Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robots
Post-stroke patients were required to complete a session of robot-assisted training, which involved nine repetitions of 5-meter overground walking (three trials for each of the three controllers) in a rectangular hospital corridor.
Combining rTMS & Aerobic Exercise to Treat Depression and Improve Post-Stroke Walking
Investigators primary aim is to carry out a two-site, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, phase II trial to systematically examine the potential for aerobic exercise (AEx) to enhance the anti-depressant benefits of rTMS in individuals with post-stroke depression (PSD). Investigators propose to determine the efficacy of combining two known anti-depressant treatments shown …
The Effect of Mirror Therapy on Upper Extremity Motor Function in Stroke Rehabilitation
The study aimed to determine the effect of mirror therapy versus conventional physical therapy treatment in improving upper extremity impairments and motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects. Research Objectives: To discover the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper limb motor function among chronic hemiplegic subjects. To find …
CUped: An Approach to Motor Recovery Post-Stroke, Not Compensation
The goal of lower limb rehabilitation after stroke is recovery of independent walking at home and in the community. Few stroke survivors achieve this goal. Suboptimal outcomes are due to the serious and intransigent nature of movement impairments caused by stroke and the scarcity of feasible and effective therapies that …
Instant Message-delivered Early Psychological Intervention in Stroke Family Caregivers
Psychological distress including depression and anxiety is a major component of caregiver stress, and its negative impact on caregivers' health and well-being has been established in the literature. A recent meta-analysis reported the prevalence of depression and anxiety in stroke caregivers as 40.2% and 21.4% respectively. An evidence profile report …
Cortico-cortical Stimulation and Robot-assisted Therapy for Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke (CCS&RAT)
The purpose of this study is to tested the effect of combination of a paired associative stimulation of two functional interconnected areas of the cerebral cortex (posterior-parietal cortex and primary motor cortex) with robot-assisted therapy in the recovery of upper limb after stroke.
Neuromodulation-Enhanced Use of RObotic BALANCE Training to Improve Balance Function in Individuals With Stroke
Our proposed study, "NEUROBALANCE Stroke,"; aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined intervention involving robotic balance training and noninvasive brain stimulation in improving balance function and postural control in individuals with chronic stroke. The study will recruit 45 participants who have had a stroke at least 6 months before …
Effects of Vojta Therapy on Posture and Trunk Control
Vojta therapy that is reflex locomotion therapy is a neurophysiological rehabilitation approach that stimulates specific "reflex zones" on the body to activate global, innate movement patterns. In stroke rehabilitation, it is used to improve postural control, trunk stability, and functional movement by engaging automatic motor responses. Vojta stimulation can activate …
