Multisensory Augmentation for Post-stroke Standing Balance

NCT05760885 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: EARLY_PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 36

Summary

Many individuals who experience a stroke have problems with their balance. In part, these balance problems may be due to sensory issues. This study will test whether sensory augmentation has the potential to improve post-stroke balance. Sensory augmentation is a method by which non-invasive vibration is used to enhance the sensory information available to users, which may make it easier to feel where they are and prevent losses of balance.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Balance training with sensory augmentation

Participants will complete 20 balance training sessions, in which they are required to keep their balance while standing on a platform that translates under their feet. During training, sensory augmentation will be delivered with an intensity controlled in real-time by their center of pressure motion. The difficulty of the balance training task will progressively increase over successive training sessions.

BEHAVIORAL

Balance training

Participants will complete 20 balance training sessions, in which they are required to keep their balance while standing on a platform that translates under their feet. During training, no sensory stimulation will be delivered. The difficulty of the balance training task will progressively increase over successive training sessions.
