fNIRS Study of Effort-dependent Brain Activations During Pointing Movements of the Upper Limb in Post-stroke Patients and Healthy Subjects

NCT06116006 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 64

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Following a stroke, as part of neurorehabilitation, the intensity of effort is important to promote neural changes and stimulate motor recovery. There are few studies concerning the cortical activity involved at different levels of intensity during upper limb motor training.

Objective: To investigate cortex activation while walking an exoskeleton with 4 levels of guidance force in healthy controls.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Upper limb pointing movements in 3 experimental conditions

Recording of cerebral hemodynamic with fNIRS during upper limb pointing movements with a robotic device in three conditions: movements with robot assistance, movements without robot assistance and movements with robot resistance. Each subject are recorded during 6 trials for each condition (18 trials). The order is counterbalanced among the subjects.
