简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of transcranial laser therapy applied in automatic noncontact scanning mode for improving functional disability in patients with hemiplegia from ischemic stroke undergoing a rehabilitation program.
详细描述
Transcranial laser therapy is applied with an InGa(Al)As diode laser.The laser in automatic scanning is applied over both cerebral hemisphere during 15 sessions. Patients simultaneously performed a program of therapeutic exercises 3 days a week. Outcome measures were the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity scale, which assessed upper limb motor function, and the Barthel index, which assessed general functional disability.

结局指标
主要结局
Fugl-Meyer Scale
时间窗: 20 minutes
The upper extremity Fugl-Meyer subscale (0-66) considers flexor and extensor synegies as well as reflex activity and coordination and is specific for grading motor impairments.
