Wearable Robotic and Virtual Reality on Hand in Stroke
Stroke is a common neurological disorder resulting from acute focal damage to the central nervous system due to vascular events such as cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. It represents one of the leading causes of mortality and long-term disability in adults, with approximately 85 % of cases being …
The Role of Cognition in Motor Learning After Stroke
Stroke leads to lasting problems in using the upper limb (UL) for everyday life activities. While rehabilitation programs depend on motor learning, UL recovery is less than ideal. Implicit learning is thought to lead to better outcomes than explicit learning. Cognitive factors (e.g., memory, attention, perception), essential to implicit motor …
Rehabilitation Methods for Unilateral Spatial Neglect in Stroke Patients
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide. Between 30% and 40% of patients who have had an acute cerebral hemorrhage, develop unilateral spatial neglect syndrome (USN). USN is observed in 24% of patients with left-hemispheric stroke and 45% of patients with right-hemispheric lesions in the …
Prism Adaptation Therapy (PAT) for Right Brain Stroke Rehabilitation
After a right brain stroke, >50% of Veterans experience problems with dressing, eating, self-care or steering their wheelchairs because their ability to move, orient, and respond toward the left side is limited: spatial neglect. Spatial neglect prevents them from functioning independently, and their needs in the hospital and at home …
Pharmacy-led Transitions of Care Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence
Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital …
Radiosurgery Treatment for Spasticity Associated With Stroke, SCI & Cerebral Palsy
A scientific study is being done to test a special treatment for people who have spasticity or tight muscles. This treatment is called "stereotactic radiosurgery dorsal rhizotomy." It uses very accurate beams of radiation to target certain nerves in the back to help loosen up the muscles. In this study, …
Patient-tailored Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Improve Stroke Rehabilitation
In a double-blinded sham-controlled study the effect of patient-tailored transcranial direct current stimulation during rehabilitation training will be examined.
Intra-arterial Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Mechanical Thrombectomy
A multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial aiming at evaluating the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after successful recanalization of acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation by mechanical thrombectomy in improving the 90-day functional outcome.
Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients on DOAC
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have emerged as safe and efficacious ischemic stroke prophylaxis for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). All four DOACs - apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban - were associated with lower risks of major bleeding compared to warfarin. Listed as core essential medicines by the World Health Organization, DOAC prescriptions …
Effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Balance and Post Stroke Fatigue :
The objective of the study is to determine the effects of stroke conventional therapy compared with the effects of vestibular rehabilitation therapy on balance and post stroke fatigue. The study will be randomized control trial including 2 experimental groups with estimated 28 individual in each group
