Sensory and motor impairments following stroke can lead to substantial disability involving the arm and hand. The investigator hypothesized that excessive local and cross-coupled stiffness, diminished individuation and proprioceptive acuity will be present among multiple degree of freedom in the upper limb. The stiffness and spasticity will increase with time …
This study has two interventional components, the first is a cross-over design and the second is a randomized control trial. Both will evaluate the effectiveness of transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke.
Objectives: The aim of this feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) study is to investigate whether the theoretically informed telehealth intervention involving the HEARTS Technical Package and the use of an activity monitor to increase physical activity level post-stroke is feasible and to estimate the parameters for conducting a fully powered …
To test the capacity of healthy and chronic stroke patients to learn and retain a complex bimanual motor skill, trained on the neurorehabilitation robot REAplan (R) (bimanual version).
Background Memory consolidation is the process by which memories become stable, long-term representations in the brain. Consolidation of a motor skill is dependent upon sleep. Some research shows that daytime naps improve people s motor performance and memory retention. Researchers want to find out how daytime naps may contribute to …
Cerebrovascular Accident affects the majority of the elderly population and its frequency is constantly increasing. The resulting deficits are numerous and lead in particular to an alteration in the quality of walking and autonomy. Numerous rehabilitation techniques have been described. In practice, correction instructions are often given by the therapist …
This study will examine the combination of myoelectric computer interface (MyoCI) training with targeted memory reactivation (TMR) in chronic stroke survivors. The study aims to determine whether this training-plus-sleep combination will generalize to improve arm motor function over an extended training protocol in stroke survivors.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a newly developed dyad-focused strategy training intervention on enhancing participation of stroke survivors and their caregivers. To address this purpose, a single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be implemented to assess the efficacy of the dyad-focused strategy training intervention …
Study procedures: After acquiring clinical-demographic, neurophysiological and clinical-functional data to describe the extent of upper limb impairment at baseline at the facilities of the Rehabilitation Medicine Unit (UMR) of the Ferrara University Hospital (Department of Neuroscience), patients will undergo a 10-day home rehabilitation programme (two consecutive weeks, five days a …
People living with stroke have a high risk of falling and this risk increases as mobility improves over the first year post-stroke. Despite the high number of falls, there is a lack of interventions to prevent falls after stroke. One possible solution is to alter nerve activity through delivery of …
