Effect of Virtual Reality‐based Bilateral Upper Extremity Training on Upper Extremity Function after Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Abstract In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality‐based bilateral upper extremity training (VRBT) on paretic upper limb function and muscle strength in patients with stroke. Eighteen stroke survivors were assigned to either the VRBT group (n = 10) or the bilateral upper limb training group (BT, n = 8). Patients in the VRBT group performed bilateral upper extremity exercises in a virtual reality environment, whereas those in the BT group performed conventional bilateral upper extremity exercises. All training was conducted for 30 minutes day−1, 3 days a week, for a period...

A Quantitative Summary of The Listening Program (TLP) Efficacy Studies: What Areas Were Found to Improve by TLP Intervention?
Abstract A quantitative summary of existing research examining the effects of The Listening Program (TLP) on various functions in children is presented. Nine studies were used, looking at TLP intervention effects across studies, within each study and for various outcome measures. The studies looked at TLP intervention on children with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, learning disabilities, auditory processing disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, Rhett syndrome, dyspraxia, cerebral palsy, fibromyalgia, arthritis and stroke. The magnitude of the TLP effect size revealed a mean value of 0.41 across al...

Effects of Brain–Computer Interface‐controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation Training on Shoulder Subluxation for Patients with Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of brain–computer interface (BCI)‐controlled functional electrical stimulation (FES) training on shoulder subluxation of patients with stroke. Twenty subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the BCI‐FES group (n = 10) and the FES group (n = 10). Patients in the BCI‐FES group were administered conventional therapy with the BCI‐FES on the shoulder subluxation area of the paretic upper extremity, five times per week during 6 weeks, while the FES group received conventional therapy with FES only. All patients were assessed for shoulder...

Effects of Task‐Oriented Training as an Added Treatment to Electromyogram‐Triggered Neuromuscular Stimulation on Upper Extremity Function in Chronic Stroke Patients
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of electromyogram‐triggered neuromuscular stimulation (EMG‐stim) combined with task‐oriented training (TOT) on upper extremity function in chronic stroke patients. Twenty chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to either the intervention (n = 10) or control (n = 10) group. The intervention group conducted TOT with EMG‐stim on the wrist and finger extensor of the affected arm for 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. The control group was provided EMG‐stim for 20 minutes per day for the same duration. The in...

Effects of Action Observational Training Plus Brain–Computer Interface‐Based Functional Electrical Stimulation on Paretic Arm Motor Recovery in Patient with Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate whether action observational training (AOT) plus brain–computer interface‐based functional electrical stimulation (BCI‐FES) has a positive influence on motor recovery of paretic upper extremity in patients with stroke. This was a hospital‐based, randomized controlled trial with a blinded assessor. Thirty patients with a first‐time stroke were randomly allocated to one of two groups: the BCI‐FES group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The BCI‐FES group administered to AOT plus BCI‐FES on the paretic upper extremity five times per week durin...

Relationship between Quantified Instrumental Swallowing Examination and Comprehensive Clinical Swallowing Examination
In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that the MASA holds adequate clinical test–re‐test and inter‐rater reliabilities and criterion validity for measuring the swallowing abilities of Korean patients who had a stroke and dysphagia. The MASA could contribute to more systematic management of swallowing problems and efficient therapeutic service. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Testing a Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial of Therapeutic versus Placebo Shoulder Strapping as an Adjuvant Intervention Early after Stroke
This study tested a protocol for a randomized controlled trial of therapeutic versus placebo shoulder strapping as an adjuvant intervention early after stroke. Despite widespread use, there is little evidence of the efficacy or acceptability of shoulder strapping to improve arm function in patients with shoulder paresis following stroke. This study tested a protocol designed to trial shoulder strapping as an adjuvant therapy in patients with shoulder paresis after stroke and tested its acceptability for patients and clinical staff. A multiple‐method design comprised one quantitative randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐...
