Feasibility and efficacy of high-speed gait training with a voluntary driven exoskeleton robot for gait and balance dysfunction in patients with chronic stroke: nonrandomized pilot study with concurrent control
The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility of high-speed gait training with an exoskeleton robot hybrid assistive limb (HAL) in patients with chronic stroke, and to examine the efficacy of eight sessions (8 weeks) of gait training with a HAL compared with conventional physical therapy. Eighteen patients with chronic stroke were included in this study (nine each in the HAL and control groups). The HAL group underwent high-speed gait training with the HAL once a week for 8 weeks (20 min/session). The control group underwent conventional physical therapy for gait disturbance. Outcome measures were walkin...

Effect of single-session dual-tDCS before physical therapy on lower-limb performance in sub-acute stroke patients: A randomized sham-controlled crossover study
Publication date: Available online 12 May 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Wanalee Klomjai, Benchaporn Aneksan, Anuchai Pheungphrarattanatrai, Thanwarat Chantanachai, Nattha Choowong, Soontaree Bunleukhet, Paradee Auvichayapat, Yongchai Nilanon, Vimonwan HiengkaewAbstractAnodal stimulation increases cortical excitably, whereas cathodal stimulation decreases cortical excitability. Dual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS; anodal over the lesioned hemisphere, cathodal over the non-lesioned hemisphere) was found to enhance motor learning. The corresponding tDCS-induced changes wer...

Evaluation of the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field on the levels of some inflammatory cytokines in post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: The increased expression of IL-1β found in this study may be a response to ELF-EMF stimulation. It is hypothesized that a neuroprotective role of this cytokine may occur due to IL-1β-dependent regulation of neurotrophic factors. Further research is needed to explore this hypothesis.

Effects of trunk stabilization training robot on postural control and gait in patients with chronic stroke: a randomized controlled trial
Our study aimed to confirm the therapeutic effects of using a trunk stabilization training robot (3DBT-33) in patients with chronic stroke. A total of 38 patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The robot group (n = 19) received 30 min of trunk stability robot training in addition to conventional physical therapy, while the control group (n = 19) received a similar conventional physical therapy as the robot group. All participants were assessed using the following: the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC), timed up and go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale (B...

Multiple relationships between cognition-motor impairment and activity-based clinical outcome measures in 218 hemiplegic stroke patients
CONCLUSIONS: Establishing a significant difference between body structure/functions and activity domain variables in our research implies important multiple relationships between cognitive function, lower extremity function, lower extremity spasticity, and balance, and performance of ADL and trunk control coordination after stroke.PMID:34776427 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-210195

Benefits of Specialized Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation in a Skilled Nursing Facility: Comparison to Nationwide Outcomes
To characterize the benefits of specialized, multi-disciplinary, neuro-intensive rehabilitation provided to individuals with stroke in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) evaluating change in Minimum Data Set (MDS) functional outcomes and discharge location. A descriptive comparison to national SNF data for individuals with stroke reported by the American Physical Therapy and American Occupational Therapy Association's “Therapy Outcomes in Post-Acute Care Settings” (TOPS) study is presented.
