The feasibility of a mental practice protocol for severe upper extremity hemiparesis
… practice (MP) with severe upper extremity (UE) hemiparesis following a stroke and examine the feasibility of following a MP protocol in the acute inpatient rehabilitation setting. Design: single-group, pretest-posttest Setting: acute inpatient rehabilitation Subjects: 11 patients, less than …

Effects of Movement Context on Reach-Grasp-Lift Motion and Grip Force after Stroke
… task performance in people with post-stroke hemiparesis. To evaluate effects of movement speed, we compared paretic-limb performance of a reach-grasp-lift task at a self-selected preferred speed to the same task performed as fast as possible. People with hemiparesis were able to move faster …

Neurorehabilitation of the hand using the cybergrasp[TM] and mirror image
… of rehabilitation for individuals suffering from hemiparesis. Through neuroimaging and functional testing, neurological improvement has been demonstrated in those that engage in mirror therapy. Bilateral training, or simultaneous movement of both sides of the body, has also been studied as a …

Shoulder pain after stroke: prevalence, contributing factors and consequences in daily life
… Predictors for long-lasting PSSP were left-sided hemiparesis, pain frequency and decreased passive shoulder abduction (paper II). In a group of 49 individuals with mild to moderate sensorimotor impairments post stroke (24 with and 25 without PSSP) and 11 healthy controls, somatosensory …

STRENGTH TRAINING AFTER STROKE: EFFECTS ON MUSCLE FUNCTION, GAIT PERFORMANCE AND PERCEIVED PARTICIPATION
… with chronic mild to moderate post-stroke hemiparesis. A main impairment after stroke is reduced muscle strength. This post-stroke weakness is a major contributor to mobility limitations, which can prevent the resumption of activities of daily living and have an adverse effect on perceived …

Task oriented training and evaluation at home (TOTE Home)
Hemiparesis following a stroke frequently leads to “learned non-use” of the weaker arm and hand. Task oriented training has been suggested as a contemporary neurorehabilitation technique. A single-subject AB series design with a follow-up was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a task oriented …

Brain activation following constraint-induced movement therapy using functional near infrared spectroscopy in stroke patients
… hemoglobin signal among patients who experienced hemiparesis after a left middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke. Participants’ upper extremity motor functioning following two weeks of CIMT was examined to determine if CIMT during stroke rehabilitation is associated with changes in neural activity.

The Use of Operant Conditioning in Stroke Patients to Facilitate Relearning Dressing Skills
… years. Each of them had a residual hemiplegia or hemiparesis resulting from a stroke. None was capable of dressing him- self prior to the study. Four or five 15-30 minute sessions were spent with the participants over time periods verying from seven to ten days. Each one could follow simple …

A profile of children with traumatic brain injury admitted to the Red Cross War Memorial Children?s Hospital Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in Cape Town, South Africa, between 2015 and 2019
… were post-extubation stridor (29/200 [14.5%]), hemiparesis (20/232 [8.6%]) and diabetes insipidus (15/232 [6.5%]). Median PICU stay was 3 (IQR 1-8.3) days, and hospitalization 11 (IQR 5-20) days. Eighty- three (35.8%) children were transferred for further rehabilitation; 24 (10.3%) died. …

Profile of specific neurological and neurobehavioural problems in children with HIV-1 infection attending dedicated clinics
… had global pyramidal tract signs, 7% had a hemiparesis, 5% had peripheral neuropathy, 16% had visual impairment, and 6% were hearing impaired. Of those who were screened for developmental deficits (patients < 6years of age) 66% had gross motor delay, 75% had fine motor delay, 70% had …

Therapeutic Instrumental Music Training and Sensory-enhanced Motor Imagery in Chronic Post-stroke Upper-extremity Rehabilitation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… for individuals with chronic, post-stroke hemiparesis. Secondary objectives investigate effects of interventions on cognition and affect. Methods: Two baseline assessments, a minimum of one week apart; one final assessment. Nine interventions (3x/wk for 3 wks), facilitated by a qualified …

A portable robotic rehabilitation system towards improving impaired function of the hand due to stroke
… with 70 to 85% of initial strokes resulting in hemiparesis. Physical imparity as a result of stroke tends to be severe and majority of impairments are upper limb-related. Impairment is usually accompanied by long term functional loss which requires dedicated post-stroke rehabilitation to regain …

The use of motion-tracking games for rehabilitation of the paretic upper extremity in individuals with stroke
… affects one side of the body, it is known as hemiparesis. Overall, a large volume of therapy is required to produce the neuroplastic changes that lead to meaningful recovery post-stroke, but with the constraints of conventional, "hands-on" approaches, a system is needed that allows for …

Virtual reality visual feedback and its effect on brain excitability
… optimize VR rehabilitation of persons with hemiparesis. In addition, the effects of VR therapy on brain reorganization are investigated. An MRI-compatible VR system is used to provide subjects with online visual feedback of their hand movement. First, the author develops a protocol to …

Assessment of Real-World Upper Limb Activity in Adults with Chronic Stroke
Hemiparesis is a common motor impairment following stroke that leads to disability. The goal of stroke-related physical rehabilitation is to reduce the severity of motor-related disability in hopes that improved motor capacity (i.e. what one can do) will generalize to improved motor performance …

Efecto de la electromiografía de superficie con biofeedback sobre la actividad de los músculos extensores y dorsiflexores en adultos de edad avanzada: un ensayo clínico aleatorio.
La electromiografía de superficie con biofeedback (sEMG‐B) es una técnica empleada para la rehabilitación de pacientes con patologías neurológicas, tales como la hemiplejía derivada de un ictus, sin embargo, existe poca evidencia científica acerca de su eficacia en la rehabilitación de los músculos …

Stroke ischemico arterioso perinatale: valutazione clinica e dei fattori di rischio associati
Con un'incidenza che varia da 1/2800 a 1/5000 nati vivi, lo stroke ischemico arterioso perinatale è la più frequente forma di infarto cerebrale in età pediatrica. Il 40% dei pazienti non presentano sintomi specifici nel periodo neonatale e la diagnosi viene posta tardivamente per l'insorgenza di …
