Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most
Title: A multicentre pilot randomised control trial (RCT) of an adapted mobile rehabilitation system (GripAble) for self-directed upper limb (UL) rehabilitation and improved UL outcomes in stroke survivors with UL weakness.
Design: Interventional (clinical trial). A multicentre pilot RCT, parallel
Stroke is the leading cause of high levels of morbidity and long-term functional disability in adults. Stroke is a clinical syndrome characterized by rapidly developing symptoms and/or signs of focal and at times global (for patients in Coma) loss of cerebral functions, with symptoms lasting more
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (CoViD-19) is a new pathogen that is highly contagious, can spread quickly, and it is capable of causing enormous health, economic and societal impacts in any setting (WHO-China joint mission on CoViD-19). Although COVID 19 belongs to coronavirinae sub-family
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent degenerative joint disease that impacts quality of life and puts a burden on health care costs. Idiopathic knee OA is an age-related disease, with prevalence ranging from 19-28%. Aetiology of OA (whether systemic or mechanical) remains unclear.

Background. Over the last decade, Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a cutting-edge technology in stroke rehabilitation. VR is defined as a type of user-computer interface that implements real-time simulation of an activity or environment allowing user interaction via multiple sensory modalities.
Stroke is thought to be a serious health problem which can cause severe disabilities. Aspects of disabilities caused by stroke are various according to the affected region and its severity. In general, sensory deficits, cognitive problem, motor impairment, visual perceptual disorders and dysphagia
Recovery of upper limb movement after stroke is incomplete. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term sensorimotor disability including persistent deficits in upper limb (UL) function. Understanding how to improve UL recovery is a major scientific, clinical and patient priority. Yet, despite numerous
Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using
Patients will be randomized to a control or experimental group. The experimental group will receive immersive VR training followed by the translation of related tasks in a real life environment. The control group will perform the same tasks in a real life environment but will receive immersive VR
Preliminary research indicates that applying this technique to foot weakness after stroke is safe and may improve walking function. Hence, this warrants further investigation to: 1. determine if BCI-FES therapy can provide lasting gains in walking in chronic stroke patients; 2. determine what
Research Question. To compare the performances of the experimental and control groups at the start of the PEPS program, at the finish 1 month later and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months follow up.
Hypothesis. Null Hypothesis H0: µ1- µ2 = 0 or μ1=μ2; where μ1= mean of experimental group and μ2= mean of
Motivation: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience various challenges in upper limb motor function (e.g. muscle weakness, impaired manual abilities, spasticity, ataxia, athetosis and/or dystonia) that can impede their activities and participation in daily life. Rehabilitation strategies to
Balance; within the limits of the stability of the center of gravity can be controlled on the surface. Balance can be affected due to muscle weakness after stroke, abnormal muscle tone, loss of deep sensation and disturbances in vestibular mechanisms. Among all sensorimotor results of stroke, it is
