Focused Review Course: Stroke-Emerging Technologies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses various emerging technologies and approaches used in stroke rehabilitation. One approach mentioned is Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), which involves the forced use of the impaired upper extremity while restricting the uninvolved extremity. The video highlights the importance of patient selection and mentions the EXCITE trial, which showed greater improvement in motor function with CIMT compared to usual care. Other approaches discussed include bilateral movement therapy, mirror therapy, functional electric stimulation, robotic therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep cortical brain stimulation, virtual reality, and body weight supported treadmill training. The video emphasizes that these approaches can be used in combination to optimize stroke rehabilitation.
