Immediate effects of TECAR therapy on lower limb to decrease hypertonia in chronic stroke survivors: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To analyze immediate effects of TECAR therapy (TT) to reduce lower limb hypertonia and improve functionality in chronic post-stroke.

Materials And Methods: It is a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 36 chronic stroke survivors were divided into two groups.

Immediate Effects of TECAR Therapy on Gastrocnemius and Quadriceps Muscles with Spastic Hypertonia in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess changes in muscle properties after a single session of capacitive and resistive energetic transfer (TECAR) therapy on spastic gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles in chronic post-stroke.

Methods: A total of 36 chronic stroke survivors with lower limb hypertonia were enrolled in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group ( = 18) received a single 30 min session of TECAR therapy in combination with functional massage (FM) on the gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles.

Assessment of the 4-meter walk test test-retest reliability and concurrent validity and its correlation with the five sit-to-stand test in chronic ambulatory stroke survivors.

Background: The 4-meter walk test (4-MWT) is a widely used measure to assess gait speed in the elderly but has not been validated for stroke survivors to date.

Objectives: To assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the 4-MWT compared to the 10-meter walk test (10-MWT) as a measure of gait speed in chronic post-stroke.

Secondary Outcome Measure: to assess the correlation of both gait measures with the 5 times sit-to-stand test (5TSTS).

Influence of Core-Stability Exercises Guided by a Telerehabilitation App on Trunk Performance, Balance and Gait Performance in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Preliminary Randomized Controlled Trial.

Stroke is one of the main causes of disability. Telerehabilitation could face the growing demand and a good strategy for post-stroke rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to examine the possible effects of therapeutic exercises performed by an App on trunk control, balance, and gait in stroke survivors.

Telerehabilitation for balance rehabilitation in the subacute stage of stroke: A pilot controlled trial.

Background: Telerehabilitation has been proposed as an effective strategy to deliver post-stroke specific exercise.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of core stability exercises guided by a telerehabilitation App after hospital discharge.

Methods: Extension of a prospective controlled trial.

Available apps for stroke telerehabilitation during corona virus disease 2019 confinement in Spain.

Purpose: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in the adult population. It is feasible to think about the use of telerehabilitation devices, such as the smartphone, to respond to the growing demand, even in isolation cases, such as during confinement due to coronavirus disease in 2020. It is intended to explore the available Apps for Spanish-speaking patients with Stroke for a specific sensory-motor rehabilitation process.
