Effect of home-based reablement program on improving activities of daily living for patients with stroke: A pilot study
Background: Administering activities of daily living (ADL) and recovery of ADL functions are the main treatment goals in rehabilitation for patients with stroke. Reablement is one form of rehabilitative intervention, which aims to restore ADL functions performed in the community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of home-based reablement from 3 concepts of ADL (ie, actual performance, ability, and self-perceived difficulty) for patients with stroke. Methods: This was a single-blind pilot randomized clinical trial. Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups: home-based reablem...

COVID-19: A Personalized Cardiometabolic Approach for Reducing Complications and Costs. The Role of Aging Beyond Topics
AbstractCOVID 19 is much more than an infectious disease by SARS-CoV-2 followed by a disproportionate immune response. An older age, diabetes and history of cardiovascular disease, especially hypertension, but also chronic heart failure and coronary artery disease among others, are between the most important risk factors. In addition, during the hospitalization both hyperglycaemia and heart failure are frequent. Less frequent are acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias and stroke. Accordingly, not all prolonged stays or even deaths are due directly to SARS-CoV-2. To our knowledge, this is the first review, focusing both on ca...

Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 2748: Feasibility of a Sensor-Based Technological Platform in Assessing Gait and Sleep of In-Hospital Stroke and Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (iSCI) Patients
jsers Recovery of the walking function is one of the most common rehabilitation goals of neurological patients. Sufficient and adequate sleep is a prerequisite for recovery or training. To objectively monitor patients’ progress, a combination of different sensors measuring continuously over time is needed. A sensor-based technological platform offers possibilities to monitor gait and sleep. Implementation in clinical practice is of utmost relevance and has scarcely been studied. Therefore, this study examined the feasibility of a sensor-based technological platform within the clinical setting. Participant...

This Robot Gives Birth and We Can & #039;t Stop Watching
She bleeds, breathes, and births a baby that is as eerily lifelike as she is. But most importantly, Victoria takes labor-and-delivery training to the next level. Victoria, first introduced in 2014, was developed by Miami, FL-based Gaumard Scientific, and is considered the most advanced childbirth simulation system on the market. In the latest version, Victoria's eyes can focus and interact with her caregivers, enabling users to conduct a neurological-assessment that evaluates impaired eye motion for warning signs of a stroke, head trauma, drug use, cranial nerve ...

Effect of intensive rehabilitation on improvement of activity of daily living after intracerebral hemorrhage: a retrospective observational study
Between 2008 and 2012, the intensity of rehabilitation therapy for the recovery phase of stroke was gradually increased at our hospital in line with the policy of Japan’s National Insurance System. Training hours increased from 0.8 to 2.5 hours/day without introducing any new techniques, programs, or equipment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the increased intensity of rehabilitation on the improvement of activity of daily living of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. We retrospectively compared patient outcomes for the periods 2013–2017 (N = 162) and 2003–2007 (N = 116) using the ga...

Effects of visual feedback training and visual targets on muscle activation, balancing, and walking ability in adults after hemiplegic stroke: a preliminary, randomized, controlled study
The aim of this randomized, controlled study was to investigate the effect of visual feedback through visual targets on muscle activity, balance, and gait in stroke patients. Patients were recruited from the inpatient unit of a rehabilitation hospital. Twenty-one patients who had experienced hemiplegic stroke were randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group (visual feedback training with visual targets on gradual weight shifting), and a control group (visual feedback training on gradual weight shifting). All patients performed 30 minutes of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy followed by an additional 20 minute...

Targeted Metabolomic Profiling Reveals Association Between Altered Amino Acids and Poor Functional Recovery After Stroke
In this study, we conducted a targeted metabolomic study to examine the association between serum levels of amino acids and functional recovery after stroke. Three hundred and fifty-one patients with stroke admitted to an acute rehabilitation hospital were screened, and 106 patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Recruited patients were stratified using Montebello Rehabilitation Factor Score (MRFS) efficiency. We selected the top (n = 20, 19%) and bottom (n = 20, 19%) of MRFS efficiency for metabolomic analysis. A total of 21 serum amino acids levels were measured using ultra high performance liqu...

Brain age prediction in stroke patients: Highly reliable but limited sensitivity to cognitive performance and response to cognitive training
Publication date: Available online 30 December 2019Source: NeuroImage: ClinicalAuthor(s): Geneviève Richard, Knut Kolskår, Kristine M. Ulrichsen, Tobias Kaufmann, Dag Alnæs, Anne-Marthe Sanders, Erlend S. Dørum, Jennifer Monereo Sánchez, Anders Petersen, Hege Ihle-Hansen, Jan Egil Nordvik, Lars T. WestlyeAbstractCognitive deficits are important predictors for outcome, independence and quality of life after stroke, but often remain unnoticed and unattended because other impairments are more evident. Computerized cognitive training (CCT) is among the candidate interventions that may alleviate cognitive difficulties, but...

Hybrid Method for Automatic Construction of 3D-ASM Image Intensity Models for Left Ventricle
Publication date: Available online 18 December 2019Source: NeurocomputingAuthor(s): Huaifei Hu, Ning Pan, Tailang Yin, Haihua Liu, Bo DuAbstractActive Shape Models (ASMS) play an important role in model based medical image analysis. They utilize point distribution models (PDMs) in which a priori information is encoded into a template so that the objects to be detected can be represented with a fixed topology. One key element in 3D-ASM is the image intensity model (IIM), which is investigated in this work. We propose a hybrid approach to automatically construct 3D-ASM Intensity Models for the left ventricle. To train the II...

Simulation-Based Training of the Rapid Evaluation and Management of Acute Stroke (STREAM) —A Prospective Single-Arm Multicenter Trial
Introduction: Acute stroke care delivered by interdisciplinary teams is time-sensitive. Simulation-based team training is a promising tool to improve team performance in medical operations. It has the potential to improve process times, team communication, patient safety, and staff satisfaction. We aim to assess whether a multi-level approach consisting of a stringent workflow revision based on peer-to-peer review and 2–3 one-day in situ simulation trainings can improve acute stroke care processing times in high volume neurocenters within a 6 months period.Methods and Analysis: The trial is being carried out in a pre-tes...

Embedding Best Evidence Cultural and Clinical Stroke Care in Training
Cultural change within hospitals is difficult, and discussions around provision of care to meet the needs of Aboriginal patients can be fraught with challenges, despite evidence of disparities in hospital care and poorer health and social post-hospital outcomes. The Department for Health and Wellbeing sought to develop an evidence-based education package for health care staff to support improvements in the provision of in-hospital stroke care for and with Aboriginal stroke patients and family.
