Effects of Flexion and Extension Type Arm Slings on Walking Kinematics and Balance in Stroke Patients
In the clinic, stroke patients are seen to use flexor or extensor type arm slings, but no study was found investigating the effects of these different types of arm slings on walking kinematics and balance. The aim of the presented study was to investigate the effects of different types of …
The Effect of Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field on Stroke Patients
A stroke can cause neurological deficits resulting in decreased motor, sensory, and cognitive function, as well as a decline in psychosocial functioning. Early rehabilitation following a stroke incident is of great importance, and interventions should aim for an overall improvement in patient functioning and achieving the highest possible level of …
Optimizing Recruitment to Drive Equitable Research Opportunity in Stroke Rehabilitation Trials in Canada
Stroke is a major health issue in Canada. Stroke affects over 400,000 Canadians, and this number is expected to nearly double by 2038. Research studies in stroke recovery can help us better understand effective rehabilitation treatments and help reduce the burden of stroke. Some groups of people however are commonly …
Non-invasive VNS in Stroke Recovery
To evaluate feasibility and effectiveness of non-invasive VNS to enhance stroke recovery
Comparing Mirror Therapy and CIMT for Hand and Arm Function in Post-Stroke Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether Mirror Therapy (MT) combined with Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) improves hand and arm function after a stroke. The study will also compare this combination to CIMT alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does combining MT with …
I-Score: Intensive Stroke Cycling for Optimal Recovery and Economic Value
Traditional rehabilitation approaches are time and personnel intensive and costly, and leave \~75% of stroke survivors with residual disability. We propose a clinical trial to determine effects of forced aerobic exercise (FE; i.e., mechanically supplemented) in facilitating upper and lower extremity motor recovery post-stroke in an outpatient rehabilitation setting, to …
Assessment of Eye Movements in Stroke Patients and Closed-loop Intervention
The current study evaluates first the assumption that eye-movements during free viewing behavior are potential biomarkers of visuospatial deficits in stroke population. Second, it assesses the feasibility of a novel visual exploration training to ameliorate visuospatial deficits, by exploiting an auditory biofeedback system coupled with online parsed fixations.
EMG-Controlled Game to Retrain Upper Extremity Muscle Activation Patterns Following Stroke
The purpose of this study is to develop and test if upper limb task practice and muscle activity training improve upper limb function in stroke survivors. Participants will be asked to come to the laboratory 23 times (approximately 3 times a week) over 2.5 months to receive upper limb task …
Study on the Effects of an EMG-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulator for Upper Limb for Post-stroke Patients
Upper limb disabilities are among the most debilitating issues after a cerebral stroke. One promising approach in motor rehabilitation is the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES). This technique can be integrated into daily therapy to follow an adaptive approach, exploiting the residual capacities of patients. FES can help to …
Standardized Goal-Directed vs. Self-Directed Valsalva Maneuver for the Assessment of Patent Foramen Ovale
Ischemic stroke represents a major public health issue, leading to significant disabilities and deaths worldwide. When no clear cause for stroke is found following a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation (no atrial fibrillation, cardiac masses, or atherosclerosis) i.e. cryptogenic stroke, it is recommended to search for a patent foramen ovale (PFO), especially …
