Active clinical trials for "Hemiplegia"

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation training based on brain-computer interface in improving the upper motor function, self-care ability in daily life and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. This study adopts centralized uniform random 1:1 grouping, subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. Randomization schemes are generated by statistical professionals using SAS software.

Statement of the problem: Does task-oriented circuit training have an effect on kinematic parameters of gait, pelvic symmetry and trunk endurance in children with hemiplegic CP? Purpose of the study: This study aims to: Investigate the effect of exercise-based task-oriented circuit training on gait kinematics including (Stride length, step length, cadence, walking speed, ankle dorsiflexion angle in initial contact, knee extension angle in midstance and hip extension angle in terminal stance) in children with hemiplegic CP. Determine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on pelvic symmetry including (Anterior and lateral pelvic tilting) in children with hemiplegic CP. Examine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on trunk endurance including (prone plank test, timed partial curl up test, front abdominal power test and unilateral supine bridge test) in children with hemiplegic CP.

The aim of this study included (1) to compare the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) and bimanual arm training (BAT) in improving motor and functional performance of hemiplegic upper extremity for adults with chronic stroke; (2) to examine whether recruitment of the mirror neurons, as reflected in mu rhythm suppression, mediates recognition of the mirror illusion in pre/post MT, as compared to BAT without a mirror in clients with chronic stroke, as compared to healthy participants.

This randomised controlled study will investigate the effectiveness of isokinetic strengthening on the upper extremity functionality and strength in post-stroke hemiplegic patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the whole body vibration exercise on cortical activity and gait function in patients with chronic stroke.

Among the sequelae of stroke, gait disorder is directly linked to the degree of autonomy in the daily life of patients. It is considered significant effects on their Quality of Life(QOL). Further methods of rehabilitation are required for convalescent patients to recover their function soon and better, due to a multitudes of recovery patient with troubles such as gait problem. This trial is studying to investigate the effects of gait training with a functional electrical stimulation (FES) 'WalkAide[R](WA)' to improve the lower-limb function and ambulation in convalescent stroke patients.

This pilot study intends to evaluate an online exercise video rehabilitation program for stroke survivors with moderate disability compared to usual care. The intervention videos combine aerobic and resistance training using a latex resistance band, Thera band® elastic band, specifically designed for rehabilitation. This study will aim to show that for patients suffering acute ischemic stroke resulting in disability, at-home physical therapy with aerobic exercise videos will improve depression level and aerobic capacity more than usual care.

Sensory and balance losses occur in hemiplegic patients. In some patients, sensory and balance rehabilitations may vary depending on the treatment they receive, depending on the treatment. It is a fact that the affected anatomic neuronal regions can cause different damages for each person together with interneuronal relations. This study aims to sense sensation with Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to be applied to the plantar region.

Paediatric (including perinatal) stroke has an incidence of between 1.3 and 13.0 per 100.000 yearly in Europe. 1/3 of children with neonatal and 50% of post-natal stroke will develop a hemiplegia with upper limb being generally more affected than lower limb and a severe impact on children's participation and quality of life. Opportunities to advance scientific knowledge of the influence of genomic variation on the pattern, presentations and prognosis of paediatric stroke are lacking. Conversely, the discovery could have an enormous potential to drive the rehabilitation that is the major component of the stroke patient's care and to achieve a good functional outcome. The present proposal aims to change the current management of care and intervention of children with hemiplegia due to stroke, by identifying relevant biomarkers coming from four different areas (omics, clinical assessment, neuroimaging, Information and Communication Technologies) in order to stratify the children and to create a novel transdisciplinary patient-centred model to optimize and tailor the rehabilitation treatment. As a diagnostic tool, the new workflow allows the set-up for planning an individualized treatment based on patient specific needs, creating a model for an evidence-based clinical decision-making process that starts from the measurements of specific biomarkers, clinical measurements and effective use of patient's Upper Limb. The feasibility of the planned approach can be applied for deeply analysing and understanding results of previous researches and in new pilot studies on already available rehabilitative treatments. The results will provide an example of how different kinds of integrated assessments can contribute to create a plan for the management of children with hemiplegia due to stroke, thus leading to a better understanding of the correlation between genetic and phenotypic data. Finally, the Health Technology Assessment will provide estimates of its national and regional cost effectiveness.

There are few studies on whether botulinum toxin treatment and extracorporeal shock wave therapy are more effective than botulinum toxin alone treatment for post-stroke spasticity.
