Objective Transcortical direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging technique in the rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients after stroke, and has been mainly evaluated for the upper limb. The feasibility and…
Objective Corticospinal tract damage is responsible for motor function impairment after stroke. However, many processes seem to induce muscle damage, which may limit rehabilitation achievement. To achieve a systematic literature…
Objective The majority of stroke survivors do not use their paretic arm in daily life activities, and this is, in part, because they learned to not use their paretic arm…
Objective Balance disorders are frequently seen after stroke resulting in limited physical activities. The effects of current physical rehabilitations aiming at reducing postural imbalance are varied with low levels of…
Objective To assess the prevalence of sleep disorders (SD) in ischemic stroke (IS) patients followed in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) and to compare this prevalence to that found in…
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…
