Download or read book Clinical Pathways in Stroke Rehabilitation written by Thomas Platz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on practical clinical problems that are frequently encountered in stroke rehabilitation. Consequences of diseases, e.g. impairments and activity limitations, are addressed in rehabilitation with the overall goal to reduce disability and promote participation. Based on the available best external evidence, clinical pathways are described for stroke rehabilitation bridging the gap between clinical evidence and clinical decision-making. The clinical pathways answer the questions which rehabilitation treatment options are beneficial to overcome specific impairment constellations and activity limitations and are well acceptable to stroke survivors, as well as when and in which settings to provide rehabilitation over the course of recovery post stroke. Each chapter starts with a description of the clinical problem encountered. This is followed by a systematic, but concise review of the evidence (RCTs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses) that is relevant for clinical decision-making, and comments on assessment, therapy (training, technology, medication), and the use of technical aids as appropriate. Based on these summaries, clinical algorithms / pathways are provided and the main clinical-decision situations are portrayed. The book is invaluable for all neurorehabilitation team members, clinicians, nurses, and therapists in neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and related fields. It is a World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation (WFNR) educational initiative, bridging the gap between the rapidly expanding clinical research in stroke rehabilitation and clinical practice across societies and continents. It can be used for both clinical decision-making for individuals and as well as clinical background knowledge for stroke rehabilitation service development initiatives.
Download or read book New approaches for central nervous system rehabilitation written by Pawel Kiper and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurorehabilitation is a complex and growing field of motor rehabilitation. It is specifically directed to apply restorative techniques to stimulate neural plasticity of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering that neuroplasticity is maintained for the whole human life and can be stimulated through specific learning or exposure to enriched environments, we can hypothesize that applying specific treatments can be beneficial for people with CNS injury. Because the plateau of neuroplasticity can be observed after about 12 weeks from stroke onset it is vital to capitalize on this high level of brain reorganization by providing well-timed and well-designed treatments. Here we can distinguish a wide range of approaches developed for CNS recovery in acute, subacute, or chronic stage of injury. These approaches comprise priming or augmentation techniques, including innovative technologies like end-effector robots, exoskeletons, or virtual reality. Many of them have been confirmed as effective, but so far in clinical practice, we can still experience a lack of specific indications i.e., which therapy for how long time and for which patient’s impairment can be applied.
