rTMS and Robotic Gait Training in Patients With Stroke

walk 6m to measure the time spent, patients can walk with foot orthosis and assistive devices

Use computerized dynography to measure the postural sway displacement (mm)

Use computerized dynography to measure the postural sway velocity (mm/s)

computerized dynography to measure the postural sway area (mm^2)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: step time (ms)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: stance time (ms)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: swing time (ms)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: single support time (ms)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: double support time (ms)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: step distance (mm)

Use computerized dynography to measure spatial gait parameter: stance distance (mm)

use electromyography to measure the muscles activity in microvolts (uv) included quadriceps, hamstrings, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius during subject walking in self selected speed in 6 meters.

FIM™ is comprised of 18 items, grouped into 2 subscales - motor and cognition. The motor subscale includes: Eating Grooming Bathing Dressing, upper body Dressing, lower body Toileting Bladder management Bowel management Transfers - bed/chair/wheelchair Transfers - toilet Transfers - bath/shower Walk/wheelchair Stairs The cognition subscale includes: Comprehension Expression Social interaction Problem solving Memory Each item is scored on a 7 point ordinal scale, ranging from a score of 1 to a score of 7. The higher the score, the more independent the patient is in performing the task associated with that item. The total score for the FIM motor subscale will be a value between 13 and 91. The total score for the FIM cognition subscale will be a value between 5 and 35. The total score for the FIM instrument will be a value between 18 and 126.

including 8 health concepts: (1) physical functioning, (2) role limitations because of physical health problems; (3) bodily pain, (4) social functioning, (5) general mental health (psychological distress and psychological wellbeing), (6) role limitations because of emotional problems, (7) vitality (energy/fatigue), (8) general health perceptions. Scoring: answers to each question are scored which are then summed and transformed to a 0 - 100 scale.

The concentration of Serum albumin in the blood test. Albumin is the most important contributor to the maintenance of plasma colloid oncotic pressure; deficiency results in edema.because of physical health problems; (3) bodily pain, (4) social functioning, (5) general mental health (psychological distress and psychological wellbeing), (6) role limitations because of emotional problems, (7) vitality (energy/fatigue), (8) general health perceptions. Scoring: answers to each question are scored which are then summed and transformed to a 0 - 100 scale.

The concentration of Hb in the blood test.

The concentration of Glucose in the blood test. The Spot glucose measurement in epidermal interstitial fluid appears to be a promising alternative to capillary blood glucose estimation

The concentration of Cholesterol in the blood test.

The concentration of Triglyceride in the blood test.

Including 14 items which are scored on a 5 points scale (0-4). The degree of success in achieving each task is given a score of zero (unable) to four (independent), and the final measure is the sum of all of the scores. The item scores are summed, minimum score =0, maximum score = 56

Items are scored on a 3-point ordinal scale (0 = cannot perform; 1 = performs partially; 2 = performs fully) Maximum Score = 226 points The 5 domains assessed include, Motor function (Upper extremity maximum score = 66; Lower extremity maximum score = 34), Sensory function (maximum score = 24), Balance (maximum score = 14), Joint range of motion (maximum score = 44), Joint pain (maximum score = 44)

(body weight) kg/(height) m*(height)m

It is an 11-question measure that tests five areas of cognitive function: orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language. The maximum score is 30. A score of 23 or lower is indicative of cognitive impairment.

measures resistance during passive soft-tissue stretching, the score is ranged from 0-4 0: No increase in muscle tone Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of motion when the affected part(s) is moved in flexion or extension 1+: Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch, followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder (less than half) of the range of motion (ROM) More marked increase in muscle tone through most of the ROM, but affected part(s) easily moved Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult Affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension

measure the muscle tone (kg/m) under muscle resting. Target muscles are quadriceps, hamstrings, anterior tibialis, gastrocnemius.
