Research Hotspots and Trends of Virtual Reality Intervention for Stroke: Bibliometric Analysis

Research Hotspots and Trends of Virtual Reality Intervention for Stroke: Bibliometric Analysis

Stroke is a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity globally, ranking as the leading cause of permanent acquired disability [1]. In 2016, there were 80.1 million cases of stroke worldwide, and this figure is likely to increase further in the future due to the growth of the aging population [2]. A significant proportion of patients who have suffered from stroke report a range of impairments to motor, sensory, cognitive, and visual function [3].

Support of Home-Based Structured Walking Training and Prediction of the 6-Minute Walk Test Distance in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Based on Telehealth Data: Prospective Cohort Study

Support of Home-Based Structured Walking Training and Prediction of the 6-Minute Walk Test Distance in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Based on Telehealth Data: Prospective Cohort Study

Telehealth is defined as the delivery of health care or rehabilitation services to patients remotely using digital technologies [14], which, over the last years, has proven to be effective in the field of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure and stroke [15,16]. Telehealth and telerehabilitation solutions have recently also shown promising results in the field of peripheral arterial disease [17,18].

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

Numerous studies have established a close association between the number of steps taken and health-related quality of life [6], self-efficacy [7], and the risk of stroke recurrence [8]. Accelerometers are reliable and validated devices that can objectively measure physical activity in patients with stroke [9].

Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Further, only a small proportion of patients die in the acute stroke phase, leaving the majority with moderate to severe disability that can be mitigated through early and sustained rehabilitation interventions [4]. It is estimated that the number of people living with stroke will increase by 27% in the European Union alone between 2017 and 2047 [5].

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, frequently resulting in upper extremity impairments that significantly limit daily function [1]. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of stroke survivors experience upper extremity dysfunction, severely limiting their ability to perform daily activities independently and affecting their overall health [2].

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Patients were eligible if they were approaching discharge from either inpatient or outpatient stroke rehabilitation, with the intent that they would participate post discharge. While there was no eligibility criterion regarding the chronicity of stroke, inpatient and outpatient stroke rehabilitation at this facility was generally reserved for patients in the subacute phase after stroke.

Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study

Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study

More than 80% of stroke survivors experience gait impairments, and between 55% and 75% continue to experience functional problems 3 to 6 months after their stroke [1,2]. These impairments frequently lead to reduced activity levels and diminished community participation [3-5]. Due to this, one of the most common goals in gait rehabilitation is to enhance functional independence and quality of life [3,6-8].

Examining the Efficacy of the Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK III) Intervention for Stroke Caregivers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Examining the Efficacy of the Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Kit (TASK III) Intervention for Stroke Caregivers: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Each year, approximately 795,000 Americans experience a stroke, which is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability [1]. Because of disability, approximately 68% to 74% of stroke survivors require the care of family members [2,3], who are suddenly thrust into providing care without receiving proper training from health care providers [4-6].

The Lived Experience of Participating in Online Peer-To-Peer Groups After Acquired Brain Injury: Phenomenological Study

The Lived Experience of Participating in Online Peer-To-Peer Groups After Acquired Brain Injury: Phenomenological Study

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, and the disability-adjusted life-years for stroke indicate that it increases both mortality and the risk of living with lifelong disabilities [3]. Life after a stroke can entail challenging experiences for the stroke survivor, both in the recovery of functions as well as in learning to live with visible or invisible disabilities, which may persist and impact their own lives [4-6] as well as those of their loved ones [7].

A Game-Based Mechatronic Device for Digital Rehabilitation of Hand Function After a Stroke: Design, Prototyping, and Feasibility Study

A Game-Based Mechatronic Device for Digital Rehabilitation of Hand Function After a Stroke: Design, Prototyping, and Feasibility Study

In this paper, we first describe the RMD hardware and gaming software, its functionality, and related applications to provide both treatment and assessment of recovery programs targeting the manual dexterity of people after a stroke. The objective of this study is to present the results of a proof-of-principle pilot study conducted on 5 patients with stroke to examine the feasibility and benefits of a 6-week game-based exercise program using the RMD.
