Active clinical trials for "Paresis"

This study will compare bilateral priming followed by task specific training to health care education followed by the same task specific training protocol. The intention is to understand the effects of priming on upper limb training post-stroke.

This clinical trial will evaluate if Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is safe for the treatment of stroke and will help understand if DBS improves motor recovery for patients who continue to have significant impairment.

The overall purpose of this project is to establish the added value of training with the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) exoskeleton system as part of regular rehabilitation intervention programs after stroke. The main specific aims are: (i) to compare potential effects on functioning and disability of gait and mobility training long-term after stroke by comparing A) HAL-training combined with conventional rehabilitation interventions to B) conventional rehabilitation interventions without HAL and to C) no intervention.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three commercially available botulinum toxin neuromodulators in the treatment of facial synkinesis using patient reported outcome measures.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a specific protocol of sEMG-BFB in upper limb hemiparesis added to conventional physical therapy on changes in upper extremity functionality, motor recruitment pattern and range of motion (ROM) compared to the single application of conventional physical therapy. It aims to find a 22.22% difference between both interventions.

The main objective: To determine the effectiveness of a treatment that combines the application of a functional upper limb orthosis together with a home-based program of specific tasks in children with unilateral cerebral palsy versus a home-based program of specific tasks in improving structure and function, activity and participation. Hypothesis: The application of a functional upper limb orthosis together with a home-based program of specific tasks in children with unilateral cerebral palsy results in a greater improvement in structure and function, activity and participation compared to the implementation of a home-based specific task program.

Overall aim is to evaluate HAL for gait training early after stroke and the effect of HAL on short- and long-term functioning, disability and health compared to conventional gait training as part of an inpatient rehabilitation program early after stroke.

The purpose of this study is to determine if individuals who had a stroke more than one year before entering the study and who remain unable to open their affected hand are better able to sense and move their affected arm after 10-15 weeks of treatment with a new robotic therapy device (the AMES device) and EMG biofeedback.

The goal of this study is to determine if robot aided rehabilitation therapy can be equivalent to or more effective than conventional rehabilitation therapy at promoting functional recovery of the paretic upper limb in acute and subacute stroke patients.

The purpose of the study is to determine if inspiratory muscle training improves inspiratory muscle strength of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with inspiratory muscle weakness.
