The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate and compare the effect of three different perturbation based training devices on the reactive balance control among healthy young adults, healthy older adults, and neurologically impaired stroke individuals. Furthermore, the project aims to determine the feasibility and tolerability of 30-minutes of …
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has shown potential in reducing post-stroke limb spasticity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of focused ESWT on shoulder internal rotator spasticity in post-stroke patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and trunk restraint contrasted with conventional physical therapy treatment on improving upper extremity function, balance, and quality of life among chronic hemiplegic patients. To find out the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy treatment on improving …
To evaluate the impact of early ventilation in stroke outcomes in patients with sleep apnea and first ever stroke, 1 month after stroke.
Objective: To investigate and compare the efficacy of a 6-week, supervised respiratory training program using the AiroFit PRO™ mobile respiratory trainer against traditional Pursed-Lips Breathing exercises in individuals with hemiplegia. Study Design: A single-blind, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. Participants: Ambulatory adults with stable hemiplegia (≥3 months post-stroke), who are medically …
This study is a low-risk, early phase 1, multicenter trial to test the use of a computational (neural network) cognitive model of reading to simulate acquired dyslexia and its treatment. The aim is to determine whether there is an advantage to receiving the treatment the model predicts to be advantageous …
The goal of lower limb rehabilitation after stroke is recovery of independent walking at home and in the community. Few stroke survivors achieve this goal. Suboptimal outcomes are due to the serious and intransigent nature of movement impairments caused by stroke and the scarcity of feasible and effective therapies that …
Psychological distress including depression and anxiety is a major component of caregiver stress, and its negative impact on caregivers' health and well-being has been established in the literature. A recent meta-analysis reported the prevalence of depression and anxiety in stroke caregivers as 40.2% and 21.4% respectively. An evidence profile report …
Poststroke spasticity significantly impairs function, particularly through the development of pes equinovarus. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT) injections into the medial gastrocnemius (MG) are a first-line treatment. Treatment outcomes and long-term responses to interventions can vary significantly between individual patients. Additionally, there is increasing concern about potential adverse effects on muscle …
The objective of this study is to develop Neuro-Intermuscular Coordination Enhancement (NICE) rehabilitation, a novel neuromuscular control signal-guided strategy that visually guides stroke patients to individually activate groups of synergistic muscles through human-machine interaction. Ultimately, the development will lead to better clinical motor recovery, better quality of life, and lowered …
