HEMIPARESIS

This study tested whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) device called IpsiHand can help people who had a stroke improve arm and hand movement when used at home. The device reads brain signals and moves a robotic hand exoskeleton to assist with therapy. 109 adults with chronic …

This study tested whether a robotic device called Luna EMG can improve walking, balance, and muscle activity in people recovering from a stroke. 62 older adults (ages 65-86) who had a stroke 4 to 15 weeks earlier took part. Some received standard rehab plus robot-assisted trainin…

This study tested a new rehab approach for people who had a stroke at least six months ago and still have hand weakness and stiffness. Participants took a drug called cyproheptadine and practiced moving their hand. The goal was to see if this combination could improve muscle cont…

This study tested whether a set of exercises called FAST (Fast muscle Activation and Stepping Training) can improve walking balance in people who had a stroke. 55 participants who had their first stroke less than 6 months ago and had weakness on one side took part. They did 12 se…

This study tested whether wearing a weighted brace on the unaffected ankle helps people who have had a stroke walk farther. 42 participants who had a stroke more than 3 months ago and could walk a little on their own took part. They were split into two groups: one wore a weighted…

This study tested a new intensive rehabilitation program called I-ACQUIRE for infants (8-36 months old) who had a stroke around birth and have weakness on one side. Researchers compared two different amounts of this therapy to standard rehab to see which best helps babies learn t…

This study looked at whether combining rhythmic auditory stimulation (like a steady beat) with functional electrical stimulation (mild electrical pulses to muscles) can improve walking in children with hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body). Sixty children aged 6 to 10 to…

This study looked at whether adding a foot-sensation training (perceptual learning) to standard balance exercises could help people with hemiplegia (weakness on one side after stroke) improve their balance and reduce falls. 34 adults aged 45-65 who had a stroke more than 6 months…

This study tested a tablet app that helps stroke survivors with arm weakness improve coordination by using both arms together. Forty participants played a game that required timing and rhythm, aiming to boost daily arm function. The results showed potential for adding this simple…

This study tested a training method that uses a cuff to lightly restrict blood flow during low-intensity arm exercises. The goal was to see if it helps stroke survivors with weakness on one side improve arm movement, strength, and ability to do daily tasks. 70 participants comple…

This study looked at whether robot-assisted arm therapy or traditional physiotherapy works better for people recovering from a stroke. 58 adults who had a stroke within the past 6 weeks took part. Both groups did the same arm exercises for 6 weeks, but one group used a robot devi…

This study looked at how different practice conditions help stroke survivors learn to use their weaker arm. 28 people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago practiced a scooping task over two days. Researchers tested how well they learned and remembered the task. The goal is to f…

This study tested a new type of hand therapy for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have weakness on one side. Participants imagined moving their hand while getting real-time feedback from their own brain activity measured by EEG. The goal was to see if this …

This study looked at how shock wave therapy helps reduce arm stiffness (spasticity) in people who had a stroke. Twelve adults with stroke-related arm tightness received the treatment. Researchers wanted to find out if the therapy works by changing the muscle's physical properties…
