Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke: A Systematic Review Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 111-121 - 2008
Gert Kwakkel, Boudewijn J. Kollen, Hermano Igo Krebs
Objective. The aim of the study was to present a systematic review of studies that investigate the effects of robot-assisted therapy on motor and functional recovery in patients with stroke. Methods. A database of articles published up to October 2006 was compiled using the following Medline key words: cerebral vascular accident, cerebral vascular disorders, stroke, paresis, hemiplegia, u...... hiện toàn bộ Olfactory Mucosal Autografts and Rehabilitation for Chronic Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 10-22 - 2010

Background/objective . Basic science advances in spinal cord injury (SCI) are leading to novel clinical approaches. The authors report a prospective, uncontrolled pilot study of the safety and outcomes of implanting olfactory mucosal autografts (OMA) in 20 patients with chronic, sensorimotor complete or motor complete SCI. Methods. Seven paraplegic and 13 tetraplegic subjects (17 men and ...... hiện toàn bộ Minimal Detectable Change and Clinically Important Difference of the Wolf Motor Function Test in Stroke Patients Tập 23 Số 5 - Trang 429-434 - 2009

Objectives. This study aimed to establish the minimal detectable change (MDC) and clinically important differences (CID) of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) in patients with stroke, and to assess the proportions of patients' change scores exceeding the MDC and CID after stroke rehabilitation. Methods. A total of 57 patients received 1 of the 3 treatments for 3 weeks and underwent clini...... hiện toàn bộ Training Mobility Tasks after Stroke with Combined Mental and Physical Practice: A Feasibility Study Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 66-75 - 2004

This study examines the potential of using mental practice (MP) to promote the learning of 2 mobility tasks in persons with stroke. Twelve patients were trained with MP to increase the loading of the affected limb while standing up from a chair and sitting down. Vertical forces were recorded using force plates under each foot and the chair. Changes in the loading of the affected limb and ...... hiện toàn bộ Intensity, Duration, and Location of High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Tinnitus Relief Tập 30 Số 4 - Trang 349-359 - 2016

Background and Objective. Tinnitus is the perception of a phantom sound. The aim of this study was to compare current intensity (center anode 1 mA and 2 mA), duration (10 minutes and 20 minutes), and location (left temporoparietal area [LTA] and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC]) using 4 × 1 high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) for tinnitus reduction. Met...... hiện toàn bộ Swimming as a Model of Task-Specific Locomotor Retraining After Spinal Cord Injury in the Rat Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 535-545 - 2009

Background. The authors have shown that rats can be retrained to swim after a moderately severe thoracic spinal cord contusion. They also found that improvements in body position and hindlimb activity occurred rapidly over the first 2 weeks of training, reaching a plateau by week 4. Overground walking was not influenced by swim training, suggesting that swimming may be a task-specific mode...... hiện toàn bộ Hindlimb Immobilization in a Wheelchair Alters Functional Recovery Following Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat Tập 25 Số 8 - Trang 729-739 - 2011

Background. Locomotor training of rats with thoracic contusion spinal cord injuries can induce task-specific changes in stepping but rarely results in improved overground locomotion, possibly due to a ceiling effect. Thus, the authors hypothesize that incompletely injured rats maximally retrain themselves while moving about in their cages over the first few weeks postinjury. Objective. To...... hiện toàn bộ
