Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the fidelity stroke stage reporting, timeliness outcome measures, and use core set.Methods: We searched literature using 6 domestic databases. selected studies that used Korean medicine interventions targeted patients with motor sequelae. examined whether included reported they measures in appropriate period based on recommendations “Stroke Ev...

Background: One-third of post-stroke patients experience gait disturbance which is commonly associated with drop foot at three months after acute stroke. One the orthoses that are proposed to improve in stroke patient Wearable Tubing Assistive Walking Devices (WTAWD). It hypothesized WTAWD reduce anterior tibial muscle activity may become hyperactive during swing phase as an attempt perform cle...

The aim of this new statement is to provide a comprehensive and evidence-based review of the scientific data evaluating the use of telemedicine for stroke care delivery and to provide consensus recommendations based on the available evidence. The evidence is organized and presented within the context of the American Heart Association's Stroke Systems of Care framework and is classified accordin...

Chronic visual neglect prevents brain-damaged patients from returning to an independent and active life. Detecting predictors of persistent neglect as early as possible after the stroke is therefore crucial to plan the relevant interventions. Neglect signs do not only depend on focal brain lesions, but also on dysfunction of large-scale brain networks connected by white matter bundles. We explo...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of dual-task training on the recovery of balance ability and cognitive function in patients with subacute stroke. METHODS Twenty patients (12 males and eight females; average age, 59.70 years) with subacute stroke were enrolled in this study. All participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, the dual-task group (n=10) or the control group (n=10)...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of commercial gaming-based virtual reality (VR) therapy on the recovery of paretic upper extremity in subacute stroke patients. METHODS Twenty patients with the first-onset subacute stroke were enrolled and randomly assigned to the case group (n=10) and the control group (n=10). Primary outcome was measured by the upper limb score through the Fugl-Me...

OBJECTIVE To Investigate the synergic effects of short-term constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and visual biofeedback training (VBT) in subacute stroke patients. METHODS Thirty-two subacute stroke patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to one of three groups: short-term CIMT with VBT, VBT only, and control groups. We applied CIMT for an hour daily during VBT instead of the ordin...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety of low-dose aspirin plus clopidogrel versus high-dose aspirin plus clopidogrel in prevention of vascular risk within 90 days of duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients treated with intracranial endovascular treatment. METHODS From January 2012 to December 2013, this prospective and observational study enrolled 370 patients with symptomatic intracran...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on lower limb spasticity in subacute stroke patients. METHODS We studied thirty hemiplegic subacute stroke patients with ankle plantar flexor spasticity. ESWT was applied for 1 session/week, with a total of 3 sessions at the musculotendinous junction of medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles. Patients were evaluate...
