Home-Based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Enhance Cognition in Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising tool for improving poststroke cognitive function. Home-based rehabilitation is increasingly required for patients with stroke, and additional benefits are expected if supplemented with remotely supervised tDCS (RS-tDCS). We evaluated the cognitive improvement effect and feasibility of RS-tDCS in patients with chronic stroke.

Effects of the home-based exercise program with an augmented reality system on balance in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic potentials of the home-based exercise program (HEP) with an augmented reality (AR) system to improve balance in patients with stroke.

Methods: Sixty-eight patients with stroke were recruited in this randomized controlled study with blind observer. Patients in the smart-rehab group underwent HEP with an AR system for four weeks, whereas patients in the control group underwent the written and pictorial HEP.

Effects of Process-Based Cognitive Training on Memory in the Healthy Elderly and Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of process-based cognitive training that targets working memory and cognitive control on memory improvement in healthy elderly individuals and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods: Forty healthy subjects and 40 patients with MCI were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group received 12 sessions of designated cognitive training.
