Trial Outcomes & Findings for Objective Assessment of Upper Extremity Functioning of Stroke Patients Before and After Rehabilitation (NCT NCT02092662)

NCT ID: NCT02092662

Last Updated: 2015-08-06

Results Overview

zero to 66 points scale, measuring the impairment level of the upper extremity. Zero indicates a high level of impairment or minimum hand motor function, while 66 points indicates an increased motor function which is similar to normal upper extremity function.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

57 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

T1 at the beginning of the hospital stay and folloew up at T2 one month later.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: the study group was assessed T1 at the beginning of the hospital stay and follow up at T2 one month later. The control group assessed for the the time onset and compared to the study group at T1

Assessed by surface electromyography device. The time period it takes the muscle to be activated and contract from a voice prompting is measured. Shorter time onset probably charcterized healthy people compared to patients after a stroke.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: T1 at the beginning of the hospital stay and folloew up at T2 one month later.

Assessed by surface electromyography device. Indicate for the level by which muscles contract at the same time and amplitude. It will be calculated in percentage from 100%, as 100% indicate for complete co-activation between a pair of muscles.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: T1 at the beginning of the hospital stay and follow up at T2 one month later.

Assessed by electronic tablet with specific software called ComPET. Patient make writing tasks. The velocity of his writing is measured and pass from the tablet to the computer to be processed by the software.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The outcome will be measured twice. First at the beginning of the hospital stay and again at the end of the hospital stay, that is 4 weeks on average.
