Stroke Rehabilitation

You may have questions about sexual activity after a stroke. Stroke causes physical and emotional changes. This may include physical changes that affect your ability to have sex. You may also go through emotional changes that affect your desire to have sex.

Nowadays, health facilities have attempting diverse educations to patients and all staffs, and stroke scales, and detailed electronic health recording system. Those activities are leading to reduce delayed suspected stroke cases.

Did you know that Stroke is one of the leading health problems in America? A stroke is often called a “brain attack” and it occurs when blood flow to a certain area of the brain is cut off. The brain cells are deprived of the oxygen and glucose needed to survive, and then they die. If a stroke is not caught early enough, permanent brain damage and sometimes-even death can occur. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States, and many survivors experience either a weakening on their left or right side of their body. This weakening can result in decreased mobility, a decrease in social interaction and participation, and an increase in depression. Aerobic exercise has been shown to play a key role in neuroplasticity and motor recovery after someone experiences a stroke. The objective of the main article uses two different types of aerobic exercises and tries to understand how the exercises affect motor recovery post stroke.

Advances in technology have led to new approaches in stroke related rehabilitation including the use of virtual

In this study, the SA-SIP30 was found to be a “valid and responsive measure for stroke research.”4 Internal consistency was high and there was a good correlation between SIP68 and SA-SIP30. The SA-SIP30 was found to be able to discriminate between different stroke types, which has great clinical value. This study was novel in that it assessed responsiveness of SA-SIP30. Both scales showed positive change in score from 6 months to one year, suggesting improvement in health of the subjects over

Mobility is often a big problem after a stroke, so going through physical therapy is crucial. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to travel to a facility to engage in this important activity. Having a physical therapist come to your home and help you learn and perform the exercises that will bring more functionality

Stroke is cerebral injury caused by acute cerebral circulatory disorder, is a kind of serious hazard to human health and life safety of common refractory disease, which is difficult to reverse once got. There are obvious three tenors (high incidence, high morbidity, high mortality) of it. According to statistics, my country's annual 2 million stroke patients, the incidence rate is as high as 120/10, of which 4.5 million patients with different degree of disability, and the life cannot provide for oneself, the morbidity of up to 75%, 1.2 million stroke patients die each year. Has had a stroke patients, but also easy to relapse again, every recurrence, caused Tremendous risk to human health and life, with great pain to the patient and created a heavy burden to family and society.

The neural adaptation, contraction speed, lever type, several factors involved in determining the power level of the tendon insertion, and cross-sectional area. While others can be improved most, of these factors are purely genetic and can not be changed.

We recommend improvement of currently available stroke centers by increasing the number of trained personnel, upscaling of available facilities and establishing dedicated stroke care and rehabilitation centers where health personnel can cater to the needs of stroke survivors at individual level with great effect. We can utilize mass media not only to create awareness among common people regarding stroke but also provide better understanding of the risk factors leading to stroke. We also recommend developing support groups and stroke helplines for entertaining queries of stroke survivors on regular

Stroke is the third most frequent cause of death and the most common cause of acquired adult disability in developed countries (WHO 2003).

In this study, skeletal muscle-specific force, maximal isometric force per cross-sectional area of the muscle, concentric force, contractile properties, activation capacity and the structural characteristics of the muscle were tested. The results showed through the measures of body composition and physical function. (Jordan, what were you trying to say here? I’m a tad confused.)

According to the data of measuring EMG activity from antagonistic muscle, anterior muscles were more active during flexion than posterior muscles. Also, muscles were more activated when the hand is closed as opposed to open. Muscle flexion without a weight requires more force; however, muscle extension with a weight requires more force. Moreover, the muscle active increase in the heteronymous muscle during relaxation, which add stabilization and control to the movement. Doing the same experiment while a subject is running will increase the muscles force.

hygiene. An example is when the patient is unable to appropriately press toothpaste on the brush (Korner-Bitensky et al., 2011).

An individual’s capacity to move is critical to carry out basic activities of daily living (ADL). Motion illnesses considerably minimize a patient’s quality of living. This can be caused by two ways- a) injuries in upper or lower extremities and b) problems in Central Nervous System (CNS-brain or spinal cord). Thanks to the improvements in technology so that new ways of treatments are available for the treatment of the seriously injured survivors especially from war. In addition and due to economic reasons, the period of primary therapy is getting shorter and shorter. These issues will probably intensity later on as longevity continues to increase coupled with the prevalence of both moderate and intense motor disabilities in the elderly population and consequently increasing their need of physical assistance. To prevent these problems, current research studies display a wide variety of products specifically assisting physical rehabilitation. Robotic devices with the capacity to perform repetitive tasks on patients are among these technically innovative devices. In fact, robotic devices are already applied in clinical practice as well as clinical evaluation for rehabilitation from TBI, injured upper or lower extremities and stroke survivors. However, considering the number of devices described in the literature, so far only a few of these have succeeded to affect the subject group [1].

INTRODUCTION: An exoskeleton suit is designed to grant support, aid and defense for the human body. Starting from these main functions researchers create robotic suits by combining several technologies for military use to help soldiers with a bit of super-human strength, medical exosuits are the one which augments the human strength and speed ,and exoskeleton suits that offer hope for paralyzed persons. This is achieved by providing feedback to the various joints of the upper limb which include the wrist, elbow and shoulder. When in use, the device itself may be grounded, in which case it limits the human mobility. Exoskeletons can be categorized into two major groups, passive and active exoskeletons. Several passive exoskeleton robots have been developed recently. The first true exoskeleton in the sense of being a mobile machine integrated with human movements was co-developed by General Electric of United
