Predictive Value of Somatosensation for Manual Dexterity and Upper Limb Motor Function in Stroke Survivors
Objectives: One of the most disabling impairments following stroke is upper limb impairment. Despite the important role of somatosensory function in motor control and high prevalence of somatosensory deficits in stroke survivors, little attention has been paid to its effect on UE motor function in chronic stroke survivors. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the correlation between differ...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Mirror Therapy on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients: A Single Case Experimental Design
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of mirror therapy (MT) on upper limb (UL) function of sub-acute stroke patients. Methods: This study is a single case experimental design with two participants. Twenty minutes of MT were implemented four times a week over a period of four weeks. For baseline phase, repeated measurements were performed six times for one participant and four times for the ...
متن کاملImpaired Upper Limb Motor Function in Post-Stroke Patients and Its Impact on Trunk Control and Mobility- a Cross-Sectional Study
Objective: To find the impact of impaired upper limb motor function on trunk control and mobility in chronic post-stroke survivors so that the upper limb function should be enhanced as a core component of rehabilitation. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to August 2021 at Rehabilitation Center for the Physically Disabled, Peshawar, Pakistan. A total o...
متن کاملAssessment of upper-limb sensorimotor function of subacute stroke patients using visually guided reaching.
OBJECTIVE Using robotic technology, we examined the ability of a visually guided reaching task to assess the sensorimotor function of patients with stroke. METHODS Ninety-one healthy participants and 52 with subacute stroke of mild to moderate severity (26 with left- and 26 with right-affected body sides) performed an unassisted reaching task using the KINARM robot. Each participant was asses...
متن کاملAssessing upper limb function: transcultural adaptation and validation of the Portuguese version of the Stroke Upper Limb Capacity Scale
BACKGROUND Brachial hemiparesis is one of the most frequent sequelae of stroke, leading to important functional disability given the role of the upper limb in executing activities of daily living (ADL). The Stroke Upper Limb Capacity Scale (SULCS) is a stroke-specific assessment instrument that evaluates functional capacity of the upper limb based on the execution of 10 tasks. The objective of ...
