Neurorehabilitation of the hand using the cybergrasp[TM] and mirror image
… as a treatment method to improve function after cerebral vascular accident. The development of robotic systems to assist movement of the human body has played a major role in the fabrication of bilateral training devices. In this experiment, the CyberGrasp^{TM} robotic exoskeleton was used to …

C-Reactive Protein Polymorphism and Serum Levels as an Independent Risk Factor in Sickle Cell Disease
… 6 with renal dysfunction and 6 with cerebral vascular accident. Examination of serum CRP levels found no significant association with severe end-stage organ dysfunction. There was no significant association between serum CRP level and the polymorphism. However, a significant negative …

Seeking connectedness post-stroke: an existential perspective on lived experiences of working-age men using grounded theory
Stroke, or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), is a type of acquired brain injury (ABI). It is a leading cause of disability, with over 1.2 million survivors currently living in the UK. Age at onset has dropped over recent decades, with men at higher risk of having stroke at a younger age than women. …

All Models are Wrong, Simple Models Provide Insight: A Study of Human Manipulation
… due to conditions like limb amputation or Cerebral Vascular Accident. Robotic rehabilitation technologies, including prosthetics and exoskeletons, aim to restore motor function. However, understanding human control strategies is crucial for effective implementation. Unfortunately, studying …

The investigation of treatment outcomes for adults with chronic brain injury following intensive multidisciplinary treatment
… Subjects with a single onset head injury or cerebral vascular accident greater than one year were recruited to participate in the Intensive Treatment, Weekly Treatment or Control Groups. Pre, Post, and Post-Post Testing were used to measure cognitive-linguistic, quality of life and physical …

Delirium: A CNL-Led Protocol to Clear Up the Confusion
… and the main diagnosis seen was some type of cerebral vascular accident. <strong>Methods: </strong>Using Lewin’s change theory, the CNL-student met with unit staff in small groups and one-on-one to initiate the project and then implemented the change and collected the data by working with …

Inpatient Stroke rehabilitation: Ethnic and Psychosocial Predictors of Recovery Outcome
… and increase the risk of mortality. Stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA) has been identified as one of such diseases by the Centers for Disease Control (2007). Past literature has identified disparities between ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and other diseases in the recovery of stroke. …

Deficits in Auditory, Cognitive, and Motor Processing Following Reversible MCAO in Mice: Understanding the Human Stroke Phenotype
… and/or bodily function resulting from a cerebral vascular accident (interruption of blood flow to the brain). Acute ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and the leading cause of long-term functional disability in adults. Stroke-induced deficits may …

Assessment of a hand exoskeleton on proximal and distal training in virtual environments for robot mediated upper extremity rehabilitation
… with approximately 800,000 cases per year. This cerebral vascular accident results in neurological impairments that reduce limb function and limit the daily independence of the individual. Evidence suggests that therapeutic interventions with repetitive motor training can aid in functional …
