E-135 Dejerine-roussy syndrome in the setting of right sigmoid sinus thrombosis: a unique case report
DiscussionThis case illustrates the important clinical aspects and physical findings needed to diagnose DRS. The presence of focal allodynia and hyperalgesia with recent cerebrovascular incidents provides significant evidence for DRS. The purpose of this case is to provide awareness and to increase clinical suspicion of DRS during examination, especially in the setting of cerebral venous sinus occlusion as infarction alone may not present as atypical allodynia.Disclosures S.

Effectiveness of hospital-based low intensity and inspected aerobic training on functionality and cardiorespiratory fitness in unconditioned stroke patients: Importance of submaximal aerobic fitness markers
Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-to moderate intensity aerobic training on cardiorespiratory functions in chronic unconditioned stroke patients. The oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and the ventilatory threshold (VO2-VT) could represent the aerobic capacity in submaximal test. Our study examined the application of the submaximal parameters for evaluating aerobic capacity of chronic stroke patients. Materials and methods: In our assessor-blinded controlled pilot study 37 patients were randomized into 2 groups named: intervention group (IG, n: 21) and control gro...

Sometimes a Difficult Decision to Swallow: Ethical Dilemmas When Patients with Dysphagia who Lack Capacity Want to Eat
Mr. J is an 82-year-old retired farmer with a preexisting diagnosis of moderate vascular dementia who recently suffered a stroke resulting in a new diagnosis of dysphagia and a loss of complex decision-making capacity. He is admitted to a hospital rehabilitation unit for a course of speech, physical and occupational therapy. His wife, Mrs. J, is his surrogate and has made clear that the couple's shared goals of care are for him to regain as much function as possible so he can return to his own home.

Coaching-Based Teleoccupational Guidance for Home-Based Stroke Survivors and Their Family Caregivers: Study Protocol for a Superior Randomized Controlled Trial
Discussion. This trial will assess the effects of CTG compared with standard telerehabilitation. We believe that the results of this study will add to the understanding of occupational therapy for stroke survivors in home-based rehabilitation and provide a reference for developing health policy and facilitating other chronic management. Trial Registration Number. The Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2200061107.PMID:36045653 | PMC:PMC9423950 | DOI:10.1155/2022/9123498

Calligraphy-based rehabilitation exercise for improving the upper limb function of stroke patients: protocol for an evaluator-blinded randomised controlled trial
This study aims to design a randomised controlled trial to assess the effect of a customised CCH-based exercise for poststroke rehabilitation of upper limb dysfunction. Methods and analysis A single-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted on 60 stroke patients. The patients will be randomly allocated into three groups: (1) conventional occupational therapy (COT) group, (2) COT+CCH group, (3) COT+Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) group. For the COT group, patients will receive COT treatment of 1 hour/day. For the COT+CCH group, patients will receive 30 mins COT treatment and 30 mins CCH trai...

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 12877: Early Occupational Therapy Intervention in the Hospital Discharge after Stroke
osme Stroke is the leading cause of acquired disability in adults which is a cerebrovascular disease of great impact in health and social terms, not only due to its prevalence and incidence but also because of its significant consequences in terms of patient dependence and its consequent impact on the patient and family lives. The general objective of this study is to determine whether an early occupational therapy intervention at hospital discharge after suffering a stroke has a positive effect on the functional independence of the patient three months after discharge—the patient’s level of...

Post-stroke Rehabilitation of Severe Upper Limb Paresis in Germany – Toward Long-Term Treatment With Brain-Computer Interfaces
Severe upper limb paresis can represent an immense burden for stroke survivors. Given the rising prevalence of stroke, restoration of severe upper limb motor impairment remains a major challenge for rehabilitation medicine because effective treatment strategies are lacking. Commonly applied interventions in Germany, such as mirror therapy and impairment-oriented training, are limited in efficacy, demanding for new strategies to be found. By translating brain signals into control commands of external devices, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) represent promising, neurotechnology-based alte...

Does a combination treatment of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and occupational therapy improve upper limb muscle paralysis equally in patients with chronic stroke caused by cerebral hemorrhage and infarction?: A retrospective cohort study
This study aimed to determine this difference in improvement of upper extremity paralysis using 2-week in-hospital NovEl intervention Using Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with Occupational therapy (NEURO). We scrutinized the medical records of all patients with poststroke (ICH or CI) upper extremity muscle paralysis using Fugl-Meyer assessments (FMAs) who had been admitted to 6 hospitals between March 2010 and December 2018 for rehabilitation treatment. This was a multiinstitutional, open-label, retrospective cohort study without control patients. We evaluated the effects of NEURO on patients with...

Graded motor imagery training as a home exercise program for upper limb motor function in patients with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled trial
Purpose: Although several types of occupational therapy for motor recovery of the upper limb in patients with chronic stroke have been investigated, most treatments are performed in a hospital or clinic setting. We investigated the effect of graded motor imagery (GMI) training, as a home exercise program, on upper limb motor recovery and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with stroke. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 42 subjects with chronic stroke. The intervention group received instruction regarding the GMI program and performed it at home over 8 weeks (30 minutes ...

Experiences of occupational performance in survivors of stroke attending peer support groups.
This study explores the experiences of occupational performance in survivors of stroke attending an outpatient peer support group. METHOD.: An interpretive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with seven survivors of stroke attending an outpatient peer support group. Data was thematically analyzed. FINDINGS.: Four themes related to the experience of peer support on occupational performance emerged: finding hope to return to meaningful occupation, a place for belonging, problem-solving occupational concerns, and finding purpose beyond oneself. IMPLICATIONS.: This research adds to t...

Safety and efficacy of co-careldopa as an add-on therapy to occupational and physical therapy in patients after stroke (DARS): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Publication date: June 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 6Author(s): Gary A Ford, Bipin B Bhakta, Alastair Cozens, Suzanne Hartley, Ivana Holloway, David Meads, John Pearn, Sharon Ruddock, Catherine M Sackley, Eirini-Christina Saloniki, Gillian Santorelli, Marion F Walker, Amanda J FarrinSummaryBackgroundDopamine is a key modulator of striatal function and learning and might improve motor recovery after stroke. Previous small trials of dopamine agonists after stroke provide equivocal evidence of effectiveness on improving motor recovery.

Micro ad-hoc health social networks (uhsn). Design and evaluation of a social-based solution for patient support
We describe the proposed methods for evaluating the uHSN quantitatively and qualitatively, and how the scientific community can replicate and/or integrate this contribution in its research.ResultsThe uHSN overcomes the main limitations of traditional HSNs in the main areas recommended in the literature: privacy, security, transparency, system ecology, Quality of Service (QoS), and technology enhancement. The qualitative and quantitative research demonstrated its viability and replicability in four key points: user acceptance, productivity improvement, QoS enhancement, and fostering of social relations. It also meets the ex...
