High-dose, high-intensity (HDHI) neurorehabilitation has shown promise for improving functional outcomes after acquired brain injury (ABI), yet its feasibility and impact across different stages of care and real-world clinical settings remain insufficiently understood. The SwissNeuroRehab (SNR) initiative, bringing together Swiss rehabilitation centres to develop and evaluate innovative, technology-supported models of …
Background and rationale: Surface electromyography (EMG) is a non-invasive method to measure muscle activity, among others in people after a stroke during gait analysis. Measurement quality is strongly influenced by electrode placement. However, the commonly used SENIAM guidelines do not take individual variations in muscle morphology into account, which can …
The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between diaphragm morphology (diaphragm excursion, end-inspiratory and end-expiratory diaphragm thickness, and thickening fraction) and respiratory muscle strength (maximum inspiratory pressure - MIP and maximum expiratory pressure - MEP) in patients with subacute hemiplegia.
Stroke is a type of cerebrovascular disease, and the primary characteristic of post-stroke brains is pathological changes in cerebral hemodynamics. Therefore, hemodynamic signals may provide straightforward information for guiding post-stroke neuromodulation therapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive neurostimulation modality, has been extensively used in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, current TMS-based …
This study aims to investigate the effects of task-oriented upper limb training combined with focal vibration on hand function, proprioception, and muscle tone in patients with stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving task-oriented training with concurrent focal vibration or a control group receiving task-oriented …
Stroke is worldwide the second most common cause of death following heart attack and the leading cause of disability. Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common complication after stroke and can be defined as 'an overwhelming exhaustion or tiredness, not related to exertion, which does not typically improve with rest'. Fatigue …
Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to investigate how different levels of upper extremity (arm) support affect walking patterns in individuals who have experienced a stroke. Specifically, the research aims to determine how restricting or facilitating arm swing during walking modulates spatiotemporal gait parameters (such as speed, step …
Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices, such as the Lokomat®, are commonly used to support gait rehabilitation by enabling repetitive, task-specific walking movements. The functional proprioceptive stimulation (FPS) device Vibramoov® represents a novel technology designed to stimulate proprioceptors at the muscle-tendon junction through targeted vibratory stimuli, thereby activating sensorimotor centers in …
Nurses in Stroke Units and Neurovascular Intensive Care Units (USINV) provide care for patients who have experienced a stroke, a sudden and often devastating event that can result in motor, sensory, visual, cognitive, language, or swallowing impairments. Despite advances in stroke management, it remains the leading cause of acquired disability …
Stroke is a major cause of motor disability, particularly hemiplegia, and its incidence is increasing as the population ages. Despite partial spontaneous recovery in the first three months, 80% of patients retain a motor deficit after six months, requiring intensive rehabilitation to maximize recovery. However, after hospitalization, access to intensive …
