Combined effects and timing of robotic training and botulinum toxin on upper limb spasticity and motor function: a single‑blinded randomized controlled pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of robotic training (RT) and botulinum toxin (BTX) injections on motor function and spasticity in individuals with post-stroke upper limb spasticity (ULS). We also sought to investigate th...

Separation of stroke from vestibular neuritis using the video head impulse test: machine learning models versus expert clinicians.

Journal of neurology
BACKGROUND: Acute vestibular syndrome usually represents either vestibular neuritis (VN), an innocuous viral illness, or posterior circulation stroke (PCS), a potentially life-threatening event. The video head impulse test (VHIT) is a quantitative me...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training within 1 week after stroke onset on degree of gait independence in individuals with hemiparesis: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single-center cohort study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective method for treating gait disorders in individuals with stroke. However, no previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RAGT in individuals with acute stroke. This study aimed...

Machine Learning Predicts Bleeding Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulant.

The American journal of cardiology
Predicting major bleeding in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is crucial for personalized care. Alternatives like left atrial appendage closure devices lower stroke risk with fewer nonprocedural blee...

Urban and rural disparities in stroke prediction using machine learning among Chinese older adults.

Scientific reports
Stroke is a significant health concern in China. Differences in stroke risk between rural and urban areas have been highlighted in prior research. However, there is a scarcity of studies on urban-rural differences in predicting stroke. This study aim...

Novel Robotic Balloon-Based Device for Wrist-Extension Therapy of Hemiparesis Stroke Patients.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Upper-limb paresis is one of the main complications after stroke. It is commonly associated with impaired wrist-extension function. Upper-limb paresis can place a tremendous burden on stroke survivors and their families. A novel soft-actuator device,...

Enhancing readmission prediction model in older stroke patients by integrating insight from readiness for hospital discharge: Prospective cohort study.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The 30-day hospital readmission rate is a key indicator of healthcare quality and system efficiency. This study aimed to develop machine-learning (ML) models to predict unplanned 30-day readmissions in older patients with ischemic stroke ...

Towards Rapid and Low-Cost Stroke Detection Using SERS and Machine Learning.

Biosensors
Stroke affects approximately 12 million individuals annually, necessitating swift diagnosis to avert fatal outcomes. Current hospital imaging protocols often delay treatment, underscoring the need for portable diagnostic solutions. We have investigat...

Utilizing 12-lead electrocardiogram and machine learning to retrospectively estimate and prospectively predict atrial fibrillation and stroke risk.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: The stroke risk in patients with subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) is underestimated. By identifying patients at high risk of embolic stroke, health-care professionals can make more informed decisions regarding anticoagulation treatmen...
