RAT and FES Effects on Upper Limb Motor Function in Subacute Stroke Patients

NCT05570838 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 70

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and is the leading cause of disability. Currently, a large number of novel treatments are emerging with the aim of recovering the highest functionality and quality of life for these patients, including Robot Assisted Therapy (RAT) and functional electrostimulation (FES). The aim of this study is to observe the effect of FES with respect to conventional treatment and RAT for the improvement of motor function of the upper limb. For this purpose, a clinical trial will be carried out in which participants will be divided into two groups, a first group that will receive conventional treatment together with RAT and FES and a second group that will only receive conventional treatment combined with RAT. The hypothesis of the research group is that the group receiving conventional treatment together with RAT and FES will obtain greater improvements in motor function.

Conditions

  • Motor Function

Interventions

DEVICE

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Functional Electrical Stimulation consist on applying a current on the damaged muscles when the patient is doing a task that requires them. 120 repetitions will be made on the 6 first sessions and 180 repetitions will be done after the sixth session

DEVICE

Hand Robotic-Assisted Therapy

The hand Robotic-Assisted Therapy will be applyed using the AMADEO robot for hand rehabilitation by Tyromotion. The protocol that will be used consists on 200 repetitions on the active-assisted mode with flexion and extension of all the finguers and 50 repetitions on the active mode.
