Immediate Effect of Postural Muscle's Vibrations on Gait in Chronic Vascular Hemiplegia

NCT02096367 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 21

Summary

Balance disorders are very common after strokes and often last for long periods of time. Their origin is multifactorial and their impact on the daily lives of patients are particularly important, especially on gait.

The vibration technology for rehabilitation was already studied in static posture with force plats but their impact on gait have yet to be evaluated.

This present study aims at investigating the effects of vibrations applied by an approved medical device to the posterior neck muscles and the gluteus medius - major actors of proprioception and posture mechanisms - on gait disorders in patients with hemiplegia during the chronic phase after stroke.
