No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of - both constant as intermittent - local application of deep pressure on muscle activity and general relaxation in persons with hypertonia following stroke.

Conditions

  • Deep Pressure
  • Muscle Activity
  • General Relaxation
  • Stroke
  • Hypertonia, Muscle

Interventions

DEVICE

constant deep pressure applied by an air splint

inflation of the Johnstone air splint gives a constant local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm

DEVICE

intermittent deep pressure applied by an air splint

continuous inflation and deflation of the Johnstone air splint gives an intermittent local deep pression on the hemiplegic arm

DEVICE

uninflated air splint

no deep pressure applied by the air splint

OTHER

contralateral movement

non-hemiplegic arm is flexed and extended 5 times, with a weight of 5kg in the hand, in order to trigger hypertonia in the hemiplegic arm
