Acceptability and Feasibility of Implementing a Coordinated Hospital/Non-hospital Parenting Support...

Neurodevelopmental Motor Disorders

The PRéPaR project aims to construct, with the help of parents and early care providers, a support program for the families of infants at an increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, and to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of such a program. This program aims to strengthen parenting skills, support infant development and improve the continuity of hospital/non-hospital care, including early identification of neurodevelopmental motor disorders and continuation of the support initiated during neonatal hospitalization.

Study Evaluating the MindMotionPRO for Early Post-stroke Upper-limb Rehabilitation

StrokeMotor Disorders

Randomised controlled multi-centered study using MindMotionPRO, an immersive virtual reality based system for upper limb motor rehabilitation in early post-stroke patients. The study aims to evaluate the ability of MindMotionPRO technology to increase the rehabilitation dose. Effectiveness will be evaluated by validated rehabilitation performance scales. Cost-effectiveness will be assessed by the resource utilization.

Clinical Effectiveness of the ReHand App in Hand Rehabilitation After Stroke

StrokeMobility Limitation3 more

Stroke is the third leading cause of disability worldwide, with the hand being one of the segments whose affectation generates the greatest limitation in functional ability and quality of life. Neurorehabilitation is the most effective therapy as long as it is implemented both in the early (post-hospital stages) and in an intensive approach. However, the resources of healthcare systems are not enough to address the neurorehabilitation needs of patients with hand affectation after stroke. Thus, current scientific literature advocates transferring such rehabilitation to the patient's home through therapeutic exercise programs - whose clinical and economic effectiveness has already been demonstrated - as a way of reducing the consumption of resources. In order to achieve this, telerehabilitation is suggested as one of the most viable formats. However, current telerehabilitation systems such as video games and virtual reality do not provide a fully viable solution, mainly due to the lack of scalability and penetration of the technology, and the lack of a hand specific approach, whose importance is crucial in the recovery of function and autonomy in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Different articles and reviews confirm the potential of tablet devices to solve these issues given their scalability and the multisensory feedback provided, making possible a more productive and intensive motor training and sensory stimulation in order to optimize cortical reorganization and neuroplasticity after a stroke. Both health professionals and patients have expressed the need for a specific Tablet application for neurorehabilitation of the hand after stroke, that follows the precepts established by the evidence. However, the lack of specific applications for this approach means that existing apps are used as an adaptation. Therefore, we propose the development and preliminary validation of ReHand, the first Tablet application developed according to the needs of healthcare professionals and patients, and the precepts of the most updated scientific literature, which allows the patient to perform an active therapy adapted to its hand limitations, and the healthcare professional to monitor their patient's home performance.

Effects of Brain Network by Simultaneous Dual-mode Stimulation in Subacute Stroke Patients

StrokeMotor Disorder

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used for the modulation of stroke patients' motor function by altering the cortical excitability. Recently, more challenging approaches, such as stimulation of two or more sites or use of dual modality have been studied in stroke patients. In this study, simultaneous stimulation using both rTMS and tDCS (dual-mode stimulation) over bilateral primary motor cortices (M1s) was investigated to compare its modulatory effects with single rTMS stimulation in subacute stroke patients.

TMS and Attentional Bias in Functional Motor Disorder

Conversion Disorder

Functional motor disorders, also called motor conversion disorder, are common reasons for attendance at neurology outpatient clinics. Patients with functional motor disorders are more common than patients with multiple sclerosis and have similar levels of disability but more psychological morbidity. There is limited evidence for effective treatments in functional motor disorders. A small number of studies of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a painless method of cortical stimulation, have reported improvement in functional weakness after this treatment including in patients with symptoms of several years duration. The Investigators intend to trial TMS in a group of 40 patients with functional motor disorder, randomising patients to immediate or delayed treatment and therefore comparing a single session of TMS with routine clinical care. The Investigators will also ask patients to undergo tests of attentional focus in a cognitive neuroscience laboratory - these experiments will be analysed separately from TMS trial data.

Motor-cognitive Dual-task in Healthy Older Adults and Early Parkinson's Disease Patients

Parkinson DiseaseMotor Disorders1 more

Neuromuscular dysfunction is common in older adults and even more pronounced in neurodegenerative diseases. In Parkinson's disease (PD), a complex set of factors often prevents effective performance of activities of daily living that require intact and simultaneous performance of motor and cognitive tasks. In the current study we aim at employing the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach (MoBI) to gain further insides of neuromuscular biomarkers revealing the decrements of older adults with an early PD. The cross-sectional study will be evaluated through the multifactorial mixed-measure design.

Using Telerehabilitation to Support Families of Children With Motor Difficulties Aged 3-8 Years...

Motor Disorders

Background: Many children (about 1 child out of 20) have motor delays that are sometimes seen as "minor" and are not immediately explained by a specific diagnosis. These children are often underserved by existing health and rehabilitation services even though they are at risk of developing important negative outcomes in the long run. The most recent scientific evidence indicates that motor delays can be effectively addressed via early interventions supporting families and stimulating the child's development. Some researchers have proposed that such interventions could be efficiently and conveniently delivered online but no patient-centred, interactive online intervention has been formally trialed in Canada for children with motor delay and their families. Objectives: The goal of this study is to determine whether an online intervention can support families of children with motor delay. This study will determine whether the online intervention can improve the child's motor skills and parental self-efficacy, decrease parental stress, as well as increase the quality of life of both the parent and child. Description: The investigators will recruit 118 families of children with motor delay, 3 to 8 years of age, who are not yet receiving public rehabilitation services. These children will have been identified as at-risk of motor difficulties by their parents who will have completed a self-reported screening test for motor difficulties. Families will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) control group (usual care) or 2) intervention group (access to the WECARE web platform, including one-on-one virtual meetings with health professionals, group and private discussions, verified resources). This study, conducted in Quebec, will be led by researchers, telerehabilitation experts, decision makers and patient advocates. Relevance: This study will evaluate an innovative, convenient and accessible intervention providing assistance for an important yet underserved population of children and their families.
