Usefulness of one-arm motorized gait device for chronic hemiplegic stroke survivors
CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that one-arm motorized gait devices developed for hemiplegic stroke survivors may be more effective potentially than parallel bars and hemi-walkers in gait assistance of chronic hemiplegic stroke survivors.PMID:37661897 | DOI:10.3233/THC-230197

The diagnosis of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with stroke by transcranial Doppler ultrasound: A meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Doppler ultrasound has good consistency with conventional methods for the diagnosis of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with a history of stroke. Different reference standards may affect sensitivity and specificity; when CTA was used as the reference standard, the consistency of the TCD in the diagnosis of intracranial artery stenosis in stroke patients was relatively good.PMID:37661896 | DOI:10.3233/THC-220844

Study: Afib doubles stroke risk after surgery
Surgical patients who experience atrial fibrillation may see a doubled stroke risk in the months following their procedure, according to a new study published in JAMA. Results from a new study suggest that atrial fibrillation (AF) may pose a significant threat to patients undergoing surgery, especially those having non-cardiac procedures. In an analysis of more than 1.7 million patients, researchers found that perioperative AF was associated with twice the risk of stroke in patients who had non-cardiac surgery. Patients who underwent a cardiac procedure saw a 30% increase in their stroke risk. Journal of the A...

Mirror therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation for improving motor function of stroke survivors: A pilot randomized clinical study.
CONCLUSION: MT combined with NMES may effectively improve muscle strength and balance in hemiplegic stroke survivors. However, further studies are necessary to demonstrate brain reorganization after MT combined with NMES. PMID: 26890230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A review of the progression and future implications of brain-computer interface therapies for restoration of distal upper extremity motor function after stroke.
Authors: Remsik A, Young B, Vermilyea R, Kiekoefer L, Abrams J, Evander Elmore S, Schultz P, Nair V, Edwards D, Williams J, Prabhakaran V Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability resulting in distal upper extremity functional motor impairment. Stroke mortality rates continue to decline with advances in healthcare and medical technology. This has led to an increased demand for advanced, personalized rehabilitation. Survivors often experience some level of spontaneous recovery shortly after their stroke event, yet reach a functional plateau after which there is exiguous motor recovery. Nevertheless, ...

FDA panel backs St. Jude’s Amplatzer stroke device in 15-1 vote
An FDA panel Tuesday voted 15-1 in support of St. Jude Medical‘s (NYSE:STJ) Amplatzer cardiac implant for treating patent foramen ovale, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Amplatzer PFO device is a nitinol and polyester mesh “double disc” that’s designed to close a naturally occurring hole in the heart that poses the risk of thrombosis and stroke. The panel found in favor of the device, saying that a long-running study of it showed a “reasonable assurance” that it was safe for use, according to the paper. In a closer vote, the same panel ruled 11-5 that the device’s benefits o...

High-technology Augmentative Communication for adults with post-stroke aphasia: a systematic review.
Authors: Russo MJ, Prodan V, Meda N, Carcavallo L, Muracioli A, Sabe L, Bonamico L, Allegri R, Olmos L Abstract INTRODUCTION: Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems were introduced into clinical practice by therapists to help compensate for persistent language deficits in people with aphasia. Although, there is currently a push towards an increased focus on compensatory approaches in an attempt to maximize communication function for social interaction, available studies including AAC systems, especially technologically advanced communication tools and systems, known as "high-technology AAC", show ...

The potential effect of a vibrotactile glove rehabilitation system on motor recovery in chronic post-stroke hemiparesis.
CONCLUSIONS: This vibrotactile glove rehabilitation system has the potential to help chronic stroke patients who have reached their recovery plateau to make progress and is clinically quite effective in increasing their motivation. PMID: 28946600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke treatment: There ’ s a simple way to improve it in the U.S.
Stacey Pugh, VP and general manager of Medtronic’s neurovascular unit Technology is already available to greatly improve outcomes for people suffering from strokes, but the present healthcare system is standing in the way of people getting it, according to Stacey Pugh, VP and general manager of the neurovascular unit at Medtronic. The most important thing that could boost stroke treatment is passing proper legislation about taking patients in emergency situations to comprehensive stroke centers for proper treatment, Pugh explained during her keynote discussion at DeviceTalks West last month Technology has changed, but s...

Conformal Medical raises $9m Series B for anti-stroke cardiac implant
Conformal Medical said today that it raised $9 million in a Series B round for the anti-stroke cardiac implant it’s developing. Nashua, N.H.-based Conformal is working on a left atrial appendage seal to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation patients. It’s designed to adapt to the each patient’s individual physiology, to be easier to implant with less imaging and without general anesthesia. The funding round was led by Catalyst Health Ventures and included “a supportive group of Series A investors,” Conformal said. “This financing will allow us to validate our novel sealing technology ...
