Background Evidence to recommend a specific head position for patients in the early phase
of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess current head …

Blood flow interruption in a cerebral artery causes brain ischemia and induces dramatic
changes of perfusion and metabolism in the corresponding territory. We performed in …

Background Positioning a patient lying-flat in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke may
improve recovery and reduce disability, but such a possibility has not been formally tested in …

Abstract Background/Objective: Stroke is a major cause of disability and death in the
Western world. Studies have shown a direct relationship between specific mental and motor …

Background The effect of head position on stroke is not clear. The current study aimed to
observe the effect of head-down tilt on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel …

Rationale Few proven interventions exist for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and most are
expensive and restricted in applicability. Lying flat 'head down'positioning of AIS patients …

Background Despite advances in imaging techniques and treatment modalities, tools to
predict recovery after stroke remain limited. The objective of the study was to determine if …

We attempted to evaluate patterns of hemispheric activation, according to cerebral blood
flow changes, in post-stroke patients during motor tasks with and without arm restriction …

Aim. The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between orthostatic hypotension
(OH), mean flow velocity (MFV) as measured by transcranial Doppler (TCD) in middle …

Background Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCD) provides information on
intracranial blood flow status in stroke patients and can predict rehabilitation outcomes …
