Evaluation of the Effects of Rehabilitation Using the "Wii" on Upper Limb Kinematics in Chronic...

Post-stroke Hemiparetic Patients (at Least 6 Months Post Stroke)Age Between 18-75 Years

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in strategies of hemiparetic upper limb movement in chronic stroke patients following rehabilitation using the "Nintendo Wii". The investigators hypothesize that patients will increase their use of compensatory strategies following this rehabilitation.

Intervention to Bridge the Evidence-based Gap in Stroke Care Quality

Ischemic Stroke

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a multifaceted quality improvement intervention can improve the adherent rate of individual and composite of evidence-based performance measures for patients with acute ischemic stroke within the first 7 days of symptom onset and reduce the incidence of a new clinical vascular event, disability, and all-cause mortality at discharge and long term clinical outcome.

Pushing Behaviors in Individuals Post-stroke

Stroke

Some individuals demonstrate pushing behaviors after having a stroke. The purpose of this study is to see if there are immediate changes in pushing behaviors in individuals who have had a stroke before and after sitting in a wheelchair, walking on the treadmill, and walking overground. The investigators do not think there will be a change with sitting in the wheelchair, but the investigators think there may be an improvement in pushing behaviors after walking training.

Evaluation of Robot Assisted Neuro-Rehabilitation

Stroke

Robotic devices are capable of providing therapy to the arm of patients with weakness due to stroke. Robotic therapy improves some aspects of stroke related arm weakness, but the use of the weak arm for real life situations often remains limited. The goal of this study is to determine the best way to use robotic devices and functional task training to improve the use of the stroke affected arm for real life situations. A secondary goal of this study is to determine how or if specific areas of the brain are excited before and after training. The use of a safe and painless magnetic field directed at the brain called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will be used at set intervals to gain a better understanding of brain activity during recovery.

Establish The Benefits Of Using Various Starting Doses Of Atorvastatin On Achievement Of Cholesterol...

Coronary ArteriosclerosisDiabetes Mellitus4 more

Physicians tend to always use the lowest dose of statins to initiate therapy even in subjects who require large reductions in cholesterol. The study evaluates if selecting the starting dose based on baseline and target LDL-C cholesterol would provide better results (ie proportion of subjects resching target)

Fabry : National Initiative of Screening

Ischemic Stroke Hospitalized

Fabry disease is a genetic disease due to an enzymatic deficit. A screening of this disease allows patients to benefit from an enzyme replacement therapy and prevent the occurrence of life threatening manifestations such as an ischemic stroke. The purpose of the study is to determinate the prevalence of Fabry disease in a population of male patients hospitalized for an ischemic stroke. This study, with a screening of Fabry disease, allows the patients to make a precise diagnosis of their ischemic stroke and to facilitate the screening of the other members at the facility.

Robotics For Rehabilitation Therapy: Functional Versus Individual Joint Training

Cerebrovascular Accident

The purpose of this study is to develop an upper extremity robotic training system for use by people with stroke to practice arm and hand movement in the clinic.

CHInese Medicine NeuroAid Efficacy on Stroke Recovery

Cerebral InfarctionStroke

CHIMES is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, multicenter study to test the hypothesis that NeuroAid is superior to placebo in reducing neurological deficit and improving functional outcome in patients with cerebral infarction of an intermediate range of severity.

Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors for Hemorrhagic Stroke-GERFHS III

Stroke

The purpose of this study is to find risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke, specifically intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). ICH, a type of bleeding into brain tissue, is a type of stroke that can result in death or disability in a large number of people. Our study hopes to identify a specific genetic risk factor that will help identify at risk individuals and target treatment strategies.
