Cortical Reorganization Models for Motor Areas and Inter-hemispheric Equilibrium Post-stroke: a Pilot Study

NCT02664636 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2025-11-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main objective is to develop models for the cortical reorganization of motor areas and inter-hemispheric equilibrium in the early phase of post stroke recovery evaluated by the fNIRS technique from day 0 to day 60 (day 0 being the day of inclusion in the study) and to correlate the latter with the early phases of motor recovery over the same period, as measured by the test Fugl-Meyer.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy regimen (days 0 to 60): orthopedic maintenance, work on trunk balance, sensorimotor techniques for restoration of motor skills, exercises for standing balance and walking. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the fatigue of the subject and the level of recovery. They occur as daily sessions during the first two weeks and then two sessions / day. This is part of routine care.

PROCEDURE

Occupational therapy

Occupational Therapy (days 0 to 60): Orthopaedic maintenance, exercises for sitting and standing balance, sensorimotor techniques for the restoration of motor skills, grip exercises. Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes depending on the fatigue of the subject and the level of recovery. 1 session is performed per day. This is part of routine care.

PROCEDURE

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy

During the therapy protocol, cortical activation measures using the fNIRS method will be conducted every 15 days (at Day0, Day 15, Day 30, Day 45 and Day 60 for 5 sessions in total) at the technical platform of the Grau du Roi physical therapy centre, during the completion of a standardized motor task (maintaining a level of force) using the healthy upper limb and the paretic upper limb.
