Abstract:

The aim of these studies was to investigate the contributions of neural and peripheral factors to the increased resistance to movement and loss of function commonly observed following stroke. Three studies were undertaken to investigate the stiffness of the calf muscles in stroke subjects. Under relaxed conditions, neural factors such as spasticity and peripheral factors such as contracture and thixotropy were investigated. Under active conditions, the contribution of the tonic stretch reﬂex to functional movement, in this case walking, was investigated. These ﬁndings were compared to results

Abstract:

In recent years measurements of cerebral perfusion using bolus-tracking MRI have become common clinical practice in the diagnosis and management of patients with stroke and cerebrovascular disease. An active area of research is the development of methods to identify brain tissue that is at risk of irreversible damage, but amenable to salvage using reperfusion treatments, such as thrombolysis. However, the specificity and sensitivity of these methods are limited by the inaccuracies in the perfusion data. Accurate measurements of perfusion are difficult to obtain, especially in patients with cer

Thesis (MSportSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There are a growing number of men and women world-wide who are suffering strokes due to poor lifestyle-related habits. While there is evidence of the differences in cerebral haemodynamics between stroke patients and both elderly and young healthy individuals, limited evidence has examined the effect of rehabilitation on cerebral haemodynamics. Furthermore, most studies have examined changes in cerebral haemodynamics during cognitive and functional tasks in isolation, with no literature published on them simultaneously. The

Abstract:

Background: Stroke has become the second most cause of death and leading cause of disability worldwide. Patients-reported health related quality of life measures are often used in evaluating stroke outcomes. However, many stroke patients can not participate in the outcome assessments due to severe disability or aphasia or cognitive impairment. In this case, proxy respondents can be used as secondary information sources. The principle thing needs to be paid attention to in using proxy’s assessments is the reliability or agreement between patient and proxy. Western studies have shown that the a
