Primary objective: Determine for different control algorithms whether the algorithm is effective in providing the patient with the required support and bringing about the desired changes in the walking patternSecondary Objective(s): - Determine…
The primary objective of this study is to explore user acceptance of the HiM system in the usability study and to examine changes in functional use of the hand during ADL after prolonged use of a wearable robotic device by stroke patients in the…
The objective of this feasibility study is compare the smart AFO + standardized shoes to subjects* own AFO + own shoes. Subjects* experiences with the orthotic devices will be evaluated and points for improvement will be asked. Subjects* performance…
The primary objective of this study is to examine the direct influence of the grasp support system on (functional) performance and movement execution of the most-affected arm and hand. Secondary objectives are to examine the direct effect of the…
The aim of the present study is to investigate the added-value of reduction of early signs of spasticity in the upper extremity on improving functional arm-hand skill performance in sub-acute stroke patients with either a severely or moderately…
Primary Objective: To establish the effect of asymmetrical guidance provided by the Lokomat exoskeleton on levels of muscle activity in persons with post stroke hemiparesis. Secondary Objective(s): (i) To establish if the abovementioned effects (see…
The aim of the present study is:a) to monitor the development of arm-hand use in a broad range of stroke patients over time both during and after clinical rehabilitation;b) to assess the rate of improvement (or decline) in arm-hand use during and…
This study aims to determine the following: * What is the nature and extent of relational and sexual problems of stroke patients and their partners. * What is the time course of the relational and sexual problems of stroke patients and their…
The proposed study aims to test the acute effects of tDCS on chronic hemispatial neglect. In this particular application of tDCS the damaged hemisphere will be activated and the healthy hemisphere inhibited.
Investigating the effectiveness of tCS on the recovery of neglect in sub-acute ischemic stroke patients suffering from neglect to complement conventional treatment
The primary objective of this study is to examine user acceptance after technology-supported arm/hand training using the active-actuated orthosis at home by chronic stroke patients. Secondary objectives are to examine whether stroke patients…
Primary objective of the current study is to collect thigh acceleration data along with external gait references to evaluate and help develop the Neurostep® System gait event detection algorithm based only on thigh acceleration data. For this study…
The aim of this research is to determine whether HDsEMG could be used as a reliable alternative to a current clinical procedure of lower arm muscle innervation zone localization.
a. To introduce apathy and related neuropsychiatric symptoms of depression and cognitive impairment as new outcome parameters in acute stroke trials, and study their impact on functional recovery. b. To study if two new treatments, evaluated in…
The aim of the study is to measure whether there is a difference in LDL cholesterol levels or the 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease when the polypill is taken in the morning compared with the…
Primary: to determine whether an early psychological intervention poststroke in order to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, is feasible.Secondary: To evaluate if an early individual psychological intervention in patients independent in…
Is there an increase in markers of trombogenese (platelet activation, d-dimeer, von willebrandfactor, OPG) in elderly users of antipsychotics six to ten days after the start in comparison to the same markers before start of the antipsychotic…
The general aim of this single arm trial (Evans S. Clinical Trial Structures. J Exp Stroke Transl Med 2010, 3(1):8-18) will be to obtain preliminary evidence on the efficacy of an individualised, intensive 6-week technology-assisted training regime…
The primary objective of the present study is to study influence of different types of electrical stimulation on functional hand opening. The secondary objective of the study is to gain more insight in muscle activation patterns and kinematics…
The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate whether the applied self-learning control algorithms for robotics and electrical stimulation result in improved grasping of selected objects of the ARA test. Improvement will be measured by…
