    • Arm use in patients with subacute stroke monitored by accelerometry : association with motor impairment and influence on self-dependence 

      Thrane, Gyrd; Emaus, Nina; Askim, Torunn; Anke, Audny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of arm motor impairment on actual arm use in the early post-stroke period and explore its association with self-care dependency. SUBJECTS: Thirty-one patients recruited within the 30 first days after stroke. METHODS: Motor impairment of the upper extremity was measured with Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA) and arm use was measured with accelerometry. Arm movement ...

    • Development of grip strength during the first year after stroke 

      Stock, Roland; Thrane, Gyrd; Askim, Torunn; Anke, Audny; Mork, Paul Jarle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-08)
      <p><i>Objective</i>: To assess recovery of grip strength during the first year post-stroke.</p> <p><i>Design</i>: Exploratory study on a subsample of patients participating in the Norwegian Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy trial.</p> <p><i>Subjects</i>: Eleven patients (mean age 59.1 years; 3 women) with mild to moderate stroke were recruited 7–29 days post-stroke.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: ...

    • Early versus late-applied constraint-induced movement therapy: A multisite, randomized controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up 

      Stock, Roland; Thrane, Gyrd; Anke, Audny; Gjone, Ragna Ingeborg; Askim, Torunn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-07)
      Background and Purpose: <p> A direct comparison between the effects of constraint‐induced movement therapy (CIMT) applied early after stroke and that of CIMT applied in the chronic phase has not been conducted. This study aimed to compare the long‐term effects of CIMT applied 6 months after stroke with the results of CIMT applied within 28 days post‐stroke. <br>Methods: <p> This study was a ...

    • Investigating novel biomarkers of immune activation and modulation in the context of sedentary behaviour: a multicentre prospective ischemic stroke cohort study 

      Alme, Katinka Nordheim; Askim, Torunn; Assmus, Jörg; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Naik, Mala; Næss, Halvor; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Ueland, Per-Magne; Ulvik, Arve; Knapskog, Anne-Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-16)
      Background - Sedentary behaviour is associated with disease, but the molecular mechanisms are not understood. Valid biomarkers with predictive and explanatory properties are required. Therefore, we have investigated traditional and novel biomarkers of inflammation and immune modulation and their association to objectively measured sedentary behaviour in an ischemic stroke population.<p> <p>Methods ...

    • Neopterin and kynurenic acid as predictors of stroke recurrence and mortality: a multicentre prospective cohort study on biomarkers of inflammation measured three months after ischemic stroke 

      Alme, Katinka Nordheim; Ulvik, Arve; Askim, Torunn; Assmus, Jörg; Naik, Mala; Næss, Halvor; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Ueland, Per-Magne; Knapskog, Anne Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-08)
      Background Chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with both ischemic stroke and sedentary behaviour. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive abilities of biomarkers of inflammation and immune modulation associated with sedentary behaviour for ischemic stroke recurrence and mortality in a stroke population.<p><p> Methods Patients admitted to hospital for acute stroke were recruited ...

    • Norwegian constraint-induced therapy multisite trial: Adherence to treatment protocol applied early after stroke 

      Stock, Roland; Thrane, Gyrd; Askim, Torunn; Karlsen, Gunn Marte; Langørgen, Eli; Erichsen, Anne Spendrup; Gjone, Ragna Ingeborg; Anke, Audny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-24)
      <p><i>OBJECTIVE: </i>To investigate to what degree patients adhered to a modified constraint-induced movement therapy protocol, and to explore factors associated with the results. <p><i>DESIGN: </i>Prospective follow-up of the intervention arm in a randomized controlled trial. <p><i>SUBJECTS: </i>Twenty-four patients within 28 days after stroke. <p><i>METHODS: </i>The protocol specified 180 min ...

    • Physical activity behavior and its association with global cognitive function three months after stroke: The Nor-COAST study. 

      Luzum, Geske; Gunnes, Mari; Lydersen, Stian; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Thingstad, Anne Pernille Mæhle; Thrane, Gyrd; Askim, Torunn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)
      Objective - The purposes of this study were to determine the association between physical activity (PA) behavior and global cognitive function 3 months after stroke and to explore the role of physical capacity as a mediating factor.<p> <p>Methods - Participants with stroke were successively recruited at 5 different hospitals in Norway. PA was measured using accelerometers, with a follow-up period ...
