Exoskeleton-assisted upper limb rehabilitation after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
Neurol Res
November 2024
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, McGovern Medical School, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, The NeuroRecovery Research Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann, Houston, TX, USA.
Objectives: The upper-limb exoskeleton training program which is repetetive and task-specific therapy can improve motor functions in patients with stroke. To compare the effect of an upper-limb exoskeleton training program with Bobath concept on upper limb motor functions in individuals with chronic stroke.
Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to exoskeleton group (EG, = 12) or to Bobath group (BG, = 12).

Background And Purpose: Guided self-rehabilitation contracts (GSCs) are a diary-based rehabilitation strategy, wherein specific muscles are identified for prescription of high-load, home self-stretching techniques. We assessed the effect of GSCs combined with simultaneous upper limb (UL) and lower limb (LL) abobotulinumtoxinA injections on composite active range of motion (CXA) in adults with chronic spastic paresis.
Methods: This was an international, prospective, single-arm, open-label study (ENGAGE, NCT02969356).
Vagus Nerve Stimulation Paired With Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Chronic Stroke.
Stroke
November 2018
Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences, College of Medical, Veterinary, and Life Sciences, Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom (D.A.D., J.D.).
Background and Purpose- We assessed safety, feasibility, and potential effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation for improving arm function after chronic stroke. Methods- We performed a randomized, multisite, double-blinded, sham-controlled pilot study. All participants were implanted with a VNS device and received 6-week in-clinic rehabilitation followed by a home exercise program.

Objective: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility, tolerability, and effectiveness of robotic-assisted arm training in incomplete chronic tetraplegia.
Design: Pretest/posttest/follow-up was conducted. Ten individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury were enrolled.

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston , Houston, TX , USA ; NeuroRehabilitation Research Laboratory, The NeuroRecovery Research Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann Research Center, Houston, TX , USA.
Objective: To evaluate whether resting joint angle is indicative of severity of spasticity of the elbow flexors in chronic stroke survivors.
Methods: Seventeen hemiparetic stroke subjects (male: n = 13; female: n = 4; age: 37-89 years; 11 right and 6 left hemiplegia; averaged 54.8 months after stroke, ranging 12-107 months) participated in the study.
