Stroke Rehabilitation: Therapy Robots and Assistive Devices.

Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes. To regain motor function after stroke, rehabilitation robots are increasingly integrated into clinics. The devices fall into two main classes: robots developed to train lost motor function after stroke (therapy devices) and robots designed to compensate for l...

[Perioperative stroke effectively treated by an acute stroke team including anesthesia department: a case report].

Perioperative stroke is cerebral infarction occurring in the perioperative period. The incidence of perioperative stroke in non-cardiac, and non-neurologic surgery is about 0.7%, but the mortality can be as high as 26% to 40%. The outcome of the patients with perioperative stroke can be disastrous. Here we report a case of perioperative ischemic stroke that occurred after surgery of lumbar decompr...
