THE CLINICAL PROBLEM

Abstract A year-old man was suddenly unable to speak, follow directions, or move his right arm and leg. SETTINGS FOR THERAPY Inpatient rehabilitation is recommended for patients who are too disabled to return home but who have adequate cognition and fitness to participate in therapy for three hours a day, who need ongoing supervision by nurses and physicians for medical care and education, and who have sufficient social support to return home Fig.

Open in a separate window. Algorithm for Placement for Rehabilitation Care after Stroke Minimal assistance denotes physical help from another person that consists of no more than touching while the patient expends 75 percent of the effort e. Self-Care and Functional Use of the Arm Significant benefit is most often achieved among patients with moderate levels of disability as measured on functional scales, but not among those with the greatest disability. Walking Independent walking is a primary goal and a reasonable expectation for most patients.

Assess ability to swallow and amount of assistance patient needs for activities of daily living. All your information will be given to the relevant health and social care professionals, and you should have the same comprehensive copy as well. They need to know your current and future needs, possibilities for improvement and how and where to get further assistance.

This information will include a summary of your rehabilitation progress and your current goals, your diagnosis and your current health status. Functional abilities, which include communication needs are included as well as your care needs — washing, dressing, going to the toilet, eating and so on. It is vital also that information regarding your psychological needs are fully explored and understood by the community team as you may have cognitive problems and emotional needs at this stage in your recovery.

Aphasia is more common than you might think. About a third of these people will have Aphasia. It can occur after a neurological injury, such as stroke. Aphasia is mainly treated by speech and language therapy. Aphasia research is ongoing; studies include revealing underlying problems of brain tissue damage, the links between comprehension and expression, rehabilitation methods, drug therapy, speech therapy, and other ways to understand and treat aspects of aphasia.

But currently very little information can be given to people with aphasia about whether their language will get better, and how long this might take. Their goal for the future is to be able to give people with aphasia, their families and healthcare professionals a prediction about: Both people with and without communication problems are included.

This information is analysed together with information about time post-stroke, to look for patterns in recovery. Updates on the progress of their research can be found on their website ,. Opportunity for non-stroke survivors to get involved! Please help the team…. If you think that you might be interested, please get in touch by emailing ploras ucl.

The team will need to ask some questions about your medical history in order to meet the strict safety criteria at their Centre. Below is a talk given by Professor Cathy Price — click and play! Welcome to the new Data Laws coming in to effect tomorrow: These are used once a month or so only by one person Dr Balchin to send emails concerning stroke rehabilitation.

In addition, reduced upper limb function has been found to be the strongest predictor of reduced psychological well-being following stroke Wyller et al Dr Cherry Kilbride, who has done some pilot studies to examine the efficacy of the ARNI techniques, has asked us to disseminate information about a new trial she and her team are running at Brunel University. The primary aim of this project is to assess the feasibility i.

The current study will recruit 30 stroke survivors who can provide informed consent, who are 18 years old or over, who are at least 12 weeks post stroke, are not receiving rehabilitation for their arm from another provider i. NHS or private therapist and still have a problem with moving the arm full inclusion and exclusion criteria provided in the Participant Information Sheet. Key exclusion criteria include pain in the arm at rest, and photosensitivity epilepsy in adulthood.

The stroke survivors will use this device: It is an upper limb rehabilitation device and software for gamification of stroke rehabilitation. Gameball is a portable device that uses either a hand controller or easy to put on arm bands that allow all in one arm training through uniquely designed rehabilitation games displayed on a laptop or tablet.

The Gameball has been designed by bio-engineers with the input of stroke survivors and specialist physiotherapists. The Gameball has previously been tested for usability in a university setting and was positively received by all 18 stroke survivors and found to be safe and enjoyable to use. What does the study involve? For a participant, the study will begin with a researcher attending the participants in their homes to perform a baseline assessment. One week later the researcher will deliver the Gameball device and train the participant how to use the device.

The participant will then be asked to progressively increase the amount of time they use the device over the first week they have it.

After that first week the participants will be asked to use the device as much as safely possible for 6 weeks. The participant will have the Gameball for a total of 7 weeks before the researcher then collects the Gameball and performs an assessment. The researcher will return 4 weeks later to perform a final follow up assessment. The total process will last 12 weeks. You can find more information here: Download the patient information sheet right here: Rehabilitation for the arm post stroke is at best scant, as the focus of rehabilitation in the acute phase post stroke is on getting the patient home.

Time spent on retraining the upper limb is very low Lang et al Effective treatment interventions post stroke are characterised by high intensity and repetitive practice Langhorne et al However, changes in infrastructure, resource pressures, an emphasis on mobility during rehabilitation and recent policies advocating earlier discharge home -such as Care Closer to Home- DoH have resulted in challenges delivering the amount of rehabilitation necessary to optimise recovery McHugh et al Lack of perceived support and boredom with exercises are the most frequently cited factors associated with poor compliance Hendrie ,Tijou et al Click any of the recommended products below.
