OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of an upper limb rehabilitation robot therapy on hemispatial neglect in stroke patients. METHODS Patients were randomly divided into an upper limb rehabilitation robot treatment group (robot group) and a control group. The patients in the robot group received left upper limb training using an upper limb rehabilitation robot. The patients sat on the r...

BACKGROUND Upper limb function plays a significant role in enhancing independence for individuals with tetraplegia. However, there is limited knowledge about the specific input of sensorimotor deficits on upper limb function. Thus the theoretical framework designed to develop the Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) was used as a hypothetical model to anal...

objectives: stroke, is one of the major causes of disability in adults. so, the patient may prefer to use the non-involved limb to perfom selfcare & named this phenomen learned non used. constraint induced therapy is one of the rehabilitative interventions that can be effective in restoration of the function of the involved limb in some hemiparetic post stroke patients. purpose of this study wa...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether additional practice of either upper limb or mobility tasks improved functional outcome during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. This prospective, randomised, single blind clinical trial recruited 30 stroke subjects into either an Upper Limb or a Mobility Group. All subjects received their usual rehabilitation and an additional session of task-...

purpose: the traditional view regards limb selection in reaching a hemispheric specialization and an permanent biological phenomenon. however, recent studies have questioned this idea. instead, they suggest that the task conditions is also an effective factor. the present study includes two experiments in right and left handed children examining the effect of object location as a task condition...

Abstract: COVID-19 has imposed an unusual effect on all aspects of medicine. Many elective measures have been canceled and medical facilities are reserved for this critical situation. Although a comprehensive approach is needed in entire fields of medicine to prevent spreading of corona virus and to protect the life of health care providers and patients, decreasing disabilities in orthopedic pa...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between tactile function and upper-limb function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Assessments were performed in community or hospital venues or in participants' homes. PARTICIPANTS Recruitment information was sent to 253 possible participants with unilateral CP (aged 8-18 y), and N=52 participate...

Abstract Background The Clinch Token Transfer Test (C3t) is a bi-manual coin transfer task that incorporates cognitive tasks to add complexity. This study explored the concurrent and convergent validity of C3t as simple, objective assessment impairment reflective disease severity in Huntington’s, not reliant on clinical expertise for administration. Methods One-hundred-and-five participants pre...
