“distributed” practice effects – the massed group shows poor online learning but then huge gains over the break [51]. To examine this issue further, we performed an exploratory analysis to determine if stroke survivors also demonstrated offline learning advantages over shorter rest periods. To ...
Effects of multi-directional step exercise with weight-shifting as an adjunct to conventional exercises on balance and gait in stroke patients Article Open access 12 October 2022 Paretic knee extensor strength, gait velocity, and fat mass are major determinants of peak aerobic capacity in subacute...
Interleukins play a unique role in megakaryopoiesis, thrombopoiesis, and platelet function, with the majority having positive effects. However, a subset such as IL-4 or IL-1α has been reported to possess inhibitory properties on megakaryocyte differentiation, thereby inhibiting platelet production65,...
5 However, the precision of estimates of time effects was limited by the modest sample size of 1850 patients treated with tPA, and the generalizability of the findings to conventional clinical practice among more diverse patients and hospitals was uncertain. The population of tPA-treated patients ...
We excluded patients with additional ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis or occlusion, distal clot embolism, without clinical follow-up according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months, and patients who declined use of their data for research (see patient flow chart on Figure S12). Post...
Flow chart of trial design. Randomization Stratified block randomization (block size n = 4) will take place by a computer in each participating rehabilitation centre separately. Participants will be stratified according to their anxiety level (cut-off: HADS subscale anxiety score ≤7 vs. > 7)....
Other advantages of the BIT include the provision of 2 parallel forms of the test, which allow for re-testing with minimal concern for practice effects, and the fact that the behavioural measures allow for performance to be evaluated irrespective of theoretical orientation. As well, the test has...
the effects of repetitive practice with different feedback types on behavioral outcomes were determined with between-group comparisons using groupxtime mixed-model ANOVAs having 3 levels per factor and least significant difference post hoc tests. Effect sizes for differences were measured using coefficient...
Flow chart of protocol. Participants arrived at the laboratory in the afternoon of the adaptation night for a full medical check-up and were given dinner at 7 pm. PSG wire-up started thereafter. The montage on the adaptation night included a nasal airflow sensor to determine OSA. This sen...
Adjusted treatment effects together with 95% CIs were calculated from the prespecified analysis of covariance model that included the NIHSS score at admission as covariate and that was applied for primary analysis. Sensitivity analyses comprised evaluation of the per-protocol population of those patients...
