Clinical trials

The study will investigate safety, usability, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of perturbation-based training in participants post-stroke and older adults with mild balance deficits. Both group will receive three weks of training. The primary outcome measure will be derived from laboratory-induced falls.

The study aims to explore the patients' perspective on usability and feasibility of the RehAtt™ mixed-reality system during upper limb, gait and balance function rehabilitation.

The aim of the study is to examine suitability of data and processed reports acquired from the Smart Hallway system for clinical settings in terms of user acceptability and accuracy for use in clinical practice.

The aim of the project is to test the effectiveness of robot-assisted upper-limb exercise in persons after cervical spinal cord injury. In a randomised controlled two-arm trial, the effect of adding two types of robot-assisted upper-limb exercise to standard occupational therapy will be tested. Three primary and two secondary outcomes will be assessed using well-established measures.

In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, dysphagia has a high incidence. With deterioration of swallowing function, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is recommended to ensure sufficient and safe oral intake. Dysphagia and PEG placement alter quality of life (QoL). However, QoL and attitudes toward PEG remain largely unexplored. The purpose of this study is to monitor the swallowing function in relationship to QoL and attitudes toward PEG tube insertion and feeding.

Patients after stroke with upper limb spasticity treated with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) will be included in this two-part study. In the first part, goal attainment scaling and comprehensive assessment of motor functioning will be performed before BTX-A application and after two weeks. In the second part, the patients will be randomised into a test group performing prescribed regular exercise for two weeks and a control group exercising at their own discretion during the same period, whereby the patients' health-related quality of life will be assessed at the beginning and end of the two-week period.

This observational study will address urinary disorders in subacute stroke patients. Patients without and with urinary disorders will be compared, and treatment outcome will be assessed among the latter.
