Objective During rehabilitation of hemiparetic patients, physiotherapists face a discrepancy between motor skills during analytical exercises and functional abilities observed during gait. A muscle recruitment difference in the two situations…
Objective The accuracy of accelerometers in assessment of the total Energy Expenditure (TEE) in activities of daily living is discuted. Sensewear Armband (SWA) a multi-sensor device appears as the most…
Objective Depression affects many people following their stroke (between 30 and 60%). It can occur in the days following the attack but several years later. Our objective was to investigate…
Objective Therefore, the aim of our study was to determine risk factors for poor quality of life by considering disability after stroke in its multidimensional aspects but also to see…
Objective To assess the efficiency of Visual Feedback (VF) on language recovery and plasticity in three chronic non-fluent aphasic patients. VF is based on language-action interaction, thus, language skills are…
Objective Post-stroke medical management, defined by national and international guidelines, involves many professionals, allowing optimal secondary prevention. The general practitioner is as a major player in this management. The improved…
Objective Stroke is a leading cause of adult long-term disability. The functional outcomes have been much studied but the impact on quality of life (QOL) is little known especially in…
Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of severals accelorometers commonly used in post stroke studies to estimate the total energy expenditure (TEE) over activities of…
Objective Physical activity (PA) and exercise are two successful approaches to reduce sedentary behavior and risk managing in stroke patients. The aims of the study are to evaluate PA and…
Objective To explore changes in muscle architectural parameters of the muscle-tendon unit of soleus and medial gastrocnemius (GM) in patients with chronic hemiparesis, after 1 year of rehabilitation. Material/Patients and methods…
