ataxia/stroke

The Aphasia Rapid Test (ART) was developed and validated originally in French to evaluate language skills in post-stroke patients (Azuar et al., 2013). It is a 26-point scale that takes less than 3 minutes to administer. The simplicity of the ART allows it be used bedside in acute post-stroke

In animals, coronavirus infection is commonly associated with CNS involvement: epilepsy and ataxia are observed during Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) and virus is recovered in CSF, CNS is involved with strain-dependent severity in mice and rats infected by murine hepatitis virus, and murine

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

Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most prevalent neurological disability, is an autoimmune-mediated disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and often leads to severe physical or cognitive incapacitation as well as neurological problems in young adults . Multifocal zones of inflammation due

There is substantial evidence that physical exercise can improve motor and cognitive function in individuals with Parkinson's Disease, traumatic brain injury or chronic stroke survivors. However, to the investigator's knowledge, no studies have explored the effect of treadmill training with or

This proposal contains two distinct aims to be investigated in two similar but distinct groups of patients. Aim 1: To examine the mechanistic effect of 4AP on the return of sensorimotor function and EDX sensitivity in the setting of nerve dysfunction from orthopaedic trauma. This aim tests the

Serial measurements (immediately after being transferred to rehabilitation department [T0], at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation [T1], and follow up at one to three months from stroke onset [T3]) using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) was done in all participants. The primary

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. More adults are affected by stroke each year than Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Hemorrhagic strokes represent the most severe

Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are common procedures for critically ill stroke patients. Although necessary and life-saving, timely extubation after ventilator weaning is desirable, because patients with delayed extubation experience higher pneumonia rate, increased need for

AIM 1: To determine if UE motor performance significantly improves in individuals with moderate impairment from chronic stroke, following anodal tDCS applied to the ipsilesional PMd during circuit-based, UE, TRT conducted three times/week for 4-weeks. Hypothesis: Following a 4-week, tDCS-paired UE

Damage to the cerebellum produces characteristic deficits in movement coordination, known as "ataxia." Reaching movements become curved, tremulous, and over- or undershoot targets, thus affecting nearly all activities of daily living. Sitting and standing balance becomes unsteady, and walking has a

Patients with chronic acquired demyelinating neuropathy may be referred for instability or falls when walking. Some of them have complaints of dysesthesia, paresthesia. The majority of these patients, due to the involvement of large sensory fibres, have deep and superficial sensitivity disorders

Our study will be carried out in Fırat University Training and Research Hospital. Individuals who are diagnosed with stroke by the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist and who are directed to the physiotherapy program will be included. 20 hemiparesis patients who underwent stimulation and
