Objectives: To establish: (1) inter-rater and test–retest reliability of standardized guidelines for the Fugl-Meyer upper limb section, Action Research Arm Test Box Block in patients with paresis secondary to stroke, multiple sclerosis or traumatic brain injury (2) correlation between these arm motor scales more general measures impairment activity limitation. Design: Multicentre cohort study. Setting: Three European referral centres neurorehabilitation. Subjects: Thirty-seven 14 five...
The German Society of Pneumology initiated 2021 the AWMF S1 guideline Long COVID/Post-COVID. In a broad interdisciplinary approach, this was designed based on current state knowledge.The clinical recommendations describe COVID/Post-COVID symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and therapies.In addition to general consensus introduction, subject-specific approach taken summarize has an explicit practical claim will be developed adapted by author team increase in knowledge.Die Deutsche Gesellschaft...
In catastrophic situations such as pandemics, patients' healthcare including admissions to hospitals and emergency services are challenged by the risk of infection limitations resources. a setting, use telemedicine interventions has become extremely important. New technologies have proved helpful in pandemics solution improve quality life vulnerable patients persons with neurological diseases. Moreover, provide at-home solutions allowing clinicians telemonitor assess remotely, thus...
To study the effects of augmented exercise therapy time for arm rehabilitation as either Bobath or impairment-oriented training (Arm BASIS training) in stroke patients with severe paresis.Single blind, multicentre randomized control trial.Three inpatient neurorehabilitation centres.Sixty-two anterior circulation ischaemic patients.Random assignment to three group: (A) no time, (B) and (C) Arm training.Fugl-Meyer motor score. Secondary measure: Action Research Test (ARA). Ancillary measures:...
Objective: To assess the impact of new botulinum neurotoxin type A preparation NT 201 (Xeomin®; Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany) on muscle tone, functional disability, and caregiver burden in patients with poststroke upper limb spasticity a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Methods: One hundred forty-eight an Ashworth Scale score 2 or higher for wrist finger flexors at least moderate disability their principal therapeutic target Disability Assessment were...
Background. The study investigated whether passive splinting or active motor training as either individualized best conventional therapy standardized impairment-oriented (IOT) would be superior in promoting recovery subacute stroke patients with mildly severely paretic arms. Methods. A total of 148 anterior circulation ischemic were randomly assigned to 45 minutes additional daily arm over 3 4 weeks ( a) inflatable splints b) (CONV) c) IOT, that is Arm BASIS for severe paresis Ability mild...
Background. The relationship between structural and functional integrity of descending motor pathways can predict the potential for recovery after stroke. authors examine brain imaging biomarkers within contralesional ipsilesional hemispheres hand function in well-recovered patients subcortical stroke at level internal capsule. Objective. Measures activation corticospinal tract might paretic function. Methods. A total 14 chronic stable phase 24 healthy age-matched individuals participated...
To investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated treatment with incobotulinum toxin A (botulinum neurotoxin type free from complexing proteins; NT 201) in post-stroke upper limb spasticity.After completing a double-blind, placebo- controlled, multicentre study (up to 20 weeks), 145 patients received up 5 additional sets 201 injections for an open-label extension period 69 weeks.Upper muscle groups were treated as clinically indicated; injection intervals ≥ 12 weeks. Outcome was assessed 4...
Neurogenic dysphagia frequently occurs after stroke and deglutitive aspiration is one of the main reasons for subacute death stroke. Although promising therapeutic interventions neurogenic are being developed, functional neuroanatomy recovered swallowing in this population remains uncertain. Here, we investigated 18 patients post-stroke who from using an event related magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study swallowing. Patients were characterized by initial score (mild to severe), lesion...
Objective . Results of a device-training for nonambulatory individuals with thoracic and lumbar spinal cord injury (SCI) using powered exoskeleton technically assisted mobility regard to the achieved level control system after training, user satisfaction, effects on quality life (QoL). Methods Observational single centre study 4-week 5-week intensive inpatient (ReWalk ™ ). All 7 SCI who commenced completed course training basic competences use system, that is, ability stand up, sit down,...
