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…
We aim to compare the effectiveness, feasibility and safety of both metformin and sitagliptin in patients with TIA or minor ischemic stroke and impaired glucose tolerance. Furthermore, we will assess whether a slow increase in dose of metformin over…
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…
a. To establish the effects of (1) body weight support (2) treadmill speed, and (3) level of guidance/ movement support, on the neuromuscular control of the lower extremities in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis, and to determine possible…
To determine the effect of botulinum toxin type A injections in stroke patients with stiff knee gait.
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…
To compare the feasibility and safety of surface cooling to 34, 34.5, and 35*C, started within 4.5 hours after the onset of acute ischaemic stroke and maintained for 24 hours, in awake patients on a stroke unit.
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.
The main objective of the proposed study is to examine the relative efficacy of C-Mill gait adaptability treadmill training compared to the Nijmegen Falls Prevention Program (NFP program) for improving walking ability aspects, particularly walking…
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 and assess changes in arm function by people with chronic stroke following technology-supported arm/hand training at home. Secondary objectives are to examine whether stroke patients…
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…
Evaluate the patients experience and progression with robot assisted arm training exercises, and monitor changes over time on arm capacity tests and quality of movements that closely match daily tasks.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine if ischemic stroke subjects with a baseline NIH Stroke Scale Score (NIHSSS] >= 10 (8-9 with positive CTA) treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA; [Alteplase recombinant…
