Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation on improving balance and functional mobility in stroke survivors.
Methods: Comprehensive searching was conducted from inception to May 2022. The inclusion criteria were studies evaluating the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in stroke survivors.
Background: Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the major debilitating motor symptoms that affect Parkinson's disease (PD) patients' gait,OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of dancing on FOG, motor symptoms, and balance in patients with Parkinsonism.
Methods: Eight databases were searched for full-text English randomized control trials (RCTs). The freezing of gait (FOG) was the primary outcome while the balance and Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-3) were the secondary outcomes.
Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the effect of different artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning and conventional therapy (CT) on upper limb impairments in patients with stroke.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Research Gate, and Wiley Online Library were searched. Descriptive statistics about variables were reported to calculate standardized mean differences in outcomes of motor control (the primary outcome), functional independence, upper extremity performance, and muscle tone.

Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
March 2023
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to study the incidence, risk factors and patients subjected to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) after COVID-19.
Materials And Methods: For qualitative assessment and assessing the methodological quality, the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) checklist were utilized. Data from PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, CINAHIL, Medline, ResearchGate, and Scopus were searched.
Background: Self-efficacy has an important impact on rehabilitation outcomes in stroke. The Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire assesses performance in daily functional activities and self-management following a stroke.
Purpose: To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ) into the Arabic language and to assess its psychometric properties among patients with stroke.
