Rotator cuff tendinopathy, one of the pathologies identified as part of the cluster of shoulder symptoms known as subacromial pain syndrome, is a common musculoskeletal shoulder condition. Resolution of pain and disability is poor despite treatment, with only about 50% reporting full recovery at 12 - 18 months. Prior studies …
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes for standard vestibular rehabilitation home program to a digital vestibular rehabilitation home program in adults with dizziness related to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The main question is whether participants who use the digital format of vestibular rehabilitation improve to …
Large-to-massive rotator cuff tears of the shoulder with poor tendon and muscle quality often cannot be fully repaired back to its footprint, and they have a high risk of re-tear. This study evaluates a combined technique for these tears. During surgery, the torn rotator cuff is repaired as far as …
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to …
This research project aims to measure how balance is affected by special visual stimulation. Dizziness caused by complex moving visual patterns, known as optokinetic stimulation, is usually called visually induced dizziness (VID). The study includes patients with persistent symptoms after a concussion and those with non-traumatic dizziness. Healthy participants serve …
This randomized clinical trial will compare three groups of individuals with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) that will undergo: (i) early CPAP therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among adults at 6 weeks after SCI; (ii) delayed CPAP therapy in the management of …
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (tcES) of the spinal cord has shown great promise in restoring upper extremity function after spinal cord injury (SCI). More recently, the use of invasive, epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has also demonstrated promise in restoring upper extremity function post-stroke. However, the effect of stimulation …
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the potential synergy between non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation administered during a cognitive-motor task, in terms of their immediate effects on sensorimotor and cognitive functions after neurological injuries affecting the upper limb (cervical spinal cord injury and stroke). Secondary objectives …
Lower limb motor dysfunction resulting from stroke, spinal cord injury, or other neurological disorders substantially limits mobility, independence, and quality of life. Robotic rehabilitation has emerged as a promising approach to provide intensive, repetitive, task-oriented training. The ZEPU-AI3 Lower Limb Feedback Training and Evaluation Robot is designed to deliver interactive …
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon (stiffness, length, volume) and the force production capacities of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle in patients with spastic paresis (post-stroke or incomplete spinal cord injury) compared to healthy subjects, during gait.
