TL;DR: A group of clinicians from across Europe experienced in the use of botulinum toxin type A for the treatment of spasticity following acquired brain injury gathered to develop a consensus statement on best practice in managing adults withSpasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality based rehabilitation speeds up functional recovery of the upper extremities after stroke: A randomized controlled pilot study in the acute phase of stroke using the Rehabilitation Gaming System
Mónica S. Cameirão,Sergi Bermúdez i Badia,Sergi Bermúdez i Badia,Esther Duarte,Paul F. M. J. Verschure,Paul F. M. J. Verschure +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that rehabilitation with the RGS facilitates the functional recovery of the upper extremities and that this system is therefore a promising tool for stroke neurorehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Esther Duarte,Ester Marco,Josep M. Muniesa,Roser Belmonte,P Diaz,Marta Tejero,Ferran Escalada +6 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to evaluate prospectively the Trunk Control Test (TCT) correlation at admission to rehabilitation with length of stay, functional independence measure (FIM), gait velocity, walking distance and balance measured at discharge in 28 hemiparetic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Combined Impact of Virtual Reality Neurorehabilitation and Its Interfaces on Upper Extremity Functional Recovery in Patients With Chronic Stroke
Mónica S. Cameirão,Sergi Bermúdez i Badia,Esther Duarte,Antonio Frisoli,Paul F. M. J. Verschure +4 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the beneficial effects of VR-based neurorehabilitation systems such as the Rehabilitation Gaming System for the treatment of chronic stroke depend on the specific interface systems used.
Journal ArticleDOI
