Moving Standard Deviation of Trunk Acceleration as a Quantification Index for Physical Activities: Validation Study

Moving Standard Deviation of Trunk Acceleration as a Quantification Index for Physical Activities: Validation Study

Between January 2018 and February 2020, we enrolled consecutive patients with stroke hemiparesis who were admitted to the recovery rehabilitation ward of Fujita Health University Hospital. The inclusion criteria were (1) a confirmed diagnosis of stroke resulting in hemiparesis, (2) aged 18 years or older, and (3) the provision of written informed consent.

Effects of a Virtual Reality Cycling Platform on Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Patients With Ataxia and Hemiparesis: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of a Virtual Reality Cycling Platform on Lower Limb Rehabilitation in Patients With Ataxia and Hemiparesis: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Thus, interventions that promote normal function rather than the compensation of deficits are more recommended and should be applied to generate a physical activity plan based on the principles of motor learning and neural plasticity for patients with ataxic hemiparesis. The scientific literature in the field of neurorehabilitation shows that pedaling exercises have the potential to induce improvements in muscle activity, strength, and balance [9].

Movement Component Analysis of Reaching Strategies in Individuals With Stroke: Preliminary Study

Movement Component Analysis of Reaching Strategies in Individuals With Stroke: Preliminary Study

The participants were patients with hemiparesis due to stroke who underwent rehabilitation at Fujita Health University Hospital. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) existence of hemiparesis due to stroke with upper limb motor dysfunction, (2) ability to understand movement instructions, and (3) ability to maintain a sitting position for at least 30 minutes.

Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Gait Rehabilitation of People With Hemiparesis: Quantitative Gait Study

Rhythmic Haptic Cueing for Gait Rehabilitation of People With Hemiparesis: Quantitative Gait Study

The participants in this study were 11 community-dwelling, community-ambulant adults (7 men and 4 women) with chronic hemiparesis (“chronic” defined as >6 months since stroke onset). For 10 of the 11 participants, hemiparesis followed a stroke; for the other participant, it was due to brain trauma following an accident. The age range of the participants is shown in Table 1, and the time since the occurrence of stroke varied from 8 months to 12 years.

Effectiveness of a Walking Program Involving the Hybrid Assistive Limb Robotic Exoskeleton Suit for Improving Walking Ability in Stroke Patients: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of a Walking Program Involving the Hybrid Assistive Limb Robotic Exoskeleton Suit for Improving Walking Ability in Stroke Patients: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The present study aims to clarify the efficacy of a HAL-based walking program versus conventional rehabilitation focused on restoring walking ability in patients with hemiparesis due to stroke. The present study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, controlled trial. Our aim is to enroll 54 participants (27 in the HAL group and 27 in the control group) by December 2019.

A Challenge-Based Approach to Body Weight–Supported Treadmill Training Poststroke: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

A Challenge-Based Approach to Body Weight–Supported Treadmill Training Poststroke: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Although there is heterogeneity in the severity and level of disability post stroke, greater than 80% of all stroke survivors are likely to experience walking deficits due to hemiparesis [2]. Altered hemiparetic motor control causes balance and gait impairments, which result in asymmetric, slow (ie, 0.1 to 0.8 m/s), and inefficient walking patterns [3-5].

Domiciliary VR-Based Therapy for Functional Recovery and Cortical Reorganization: Randomized Controlled Trial in Participants at the Chronic Stage Post Stroke

Domiciliary VR-Based Therapy for Functional Recovery and Cortical Reorganization: Randomized Controlled Trial in Participants at the Chronic Stage Post Stroke

Recruited participants met the following inclusion criteria: (1) mild-to-moderate upper-limbs hemiparesis (Proximal MRC>2) secondary to a first-ever stroke (>12 months post-stroke), (2) age between 45 and 85 years old, (3) absence of any major cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Evaluation, MMSE>22), and (4) previous experience with RGS in the clinic. The ethics committee of clinical research of the Parc de Salut Mar and Vall d’Hebron Research Institute approved the experimental guidelines.
