Repetitive arm functional tasks after stroke (RAFTAS): a pilot randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND Repetitive functional task practise (RFTP) is a promising treatment to improve upper limb recovery following stroke. We report the findings of a study to determine the feasibility of a multi-centre randomised controlled trial to evaluate this intervention. METHODS A pilot randomised controlled trial recruited patients with new reduced upper limb function within 14 days of acute str...
متن کاملEnhanced physical therapy improves recovery of arm function after stroke. A randomised controlled trial.
Previous research on stroke rehabilitation has not established whether increase in physical therapy lead to better intrinsic recovery from hemiplegia. A detailed study was carried out of recovery of arm function after acute stroke, and compares orthodox physiotherapy with an enhanced therapy regime which increased the amount of treatment as well as using behavioural methods to encourage motor l...
متن کاملCommunity-based Rehabilitation Training after stroke: protocol of a pilot randomised controlled trial (ReTrain)
INTRODUCTION The Rehabilitation Training (ReTrain) intervention aims to improve functional mobility, adherence to poststroke exercise guidelines and quality of life for people after stroke. A definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) is required to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of ReTrain, which is based on Action for Rehabilitation from Neurological Injury (ARNI). The purpose o...
متن کاملRemedial therapy after stroke: a randomised controlled trial.
Of 1094 patients with a confirmed stroke admitted to Northwick Park, a district general hospital, 364 (33%) died while in hospital, 215 (20%) were fully recovered when discharged, and 329 (30%) were too frail or too ill from diseases other than stroke to be considered for active rehabilitation. Only 121 (11%) were suitable for intensive treatment. They and 12 patients referred direct to outpati...
متن کاملBrain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke (B-STARS): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in subacute stroke patients
INTRODUCTION Many patients with stroke have moderate to severe long-term sensorimotor impairments, often including inability to execute movements of the affected arm or hand. Limited recovery from stroke may be partly caused by imbalanced interaction between the cerebral hemispheres, with reduced excitability of the ipsilesional motor cortex while excitability of the contralesional motor cortex...
