No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project attempts to perform a randomized controlled trial to verify the efficacy and motor control mechanism of the proposed combined functional electrical therapy with distributed constraint-induced therapy or with robot-assisted Bilateral training.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

dCIT

This dCIT group focuses on restriction on movement of the unaffected hand by placement of the hand in a mitt for 6 hours/day and intensive training of the affected upper extremity in functional tasks 1.5 hours/weekday, for 4 weeks. The level of challenge will be adapted based on patient ability and improvement during training. Patients will be encouraged to initiate the designed therapeutic functional activities.

BEHAVIORAL

BAT

The BAT group concentrates on the simultaneous movements of both the affected and unaffected upper extremity on robot for 1.5 hours/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Control intervention group

The conventional intervention group is designed to control for the duration and intensity of patient-therapist interactions and therapeutic activities (1.5 hours/day, 5 days/week, for 4 weeks). Therapy in the control intervention group will involve training for coordination, balance, and movements of the affected upper extremity, as well as compensatory practice on functional tasks with the unaffected upper extremity or both upper extremities.

BEHAVIORAL

Functional electrical stimulation
