Summary

Aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and effects of exergame-based cognitive-motor training on a labile platform on physical and cognitive functioning in stroke inpatients.

This is two-armed pilot randomized controlled trial taking place in an inpatient neurologic rehabilitation clinic. A total of 30 persons that are undergoing inpatient rehabilitation due to a stroke will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (IG) or the control group (CG). Participants of the IG will receive exergame-based motor-cognitive training on a labile surface, whereas participants of the CG will train on a stable surface. Primary outcome is feasibility comprising measures of adherence, attrition, safety and usability. Secondary outcomes will be measures of cognitive (psychomotor speed, inhibition, selective attention, cognitive flexibility, brain activity) and motor (functional mobility, gait speed, balance, proprioception) functioning.

exergame-based cognitive-motor training on an unstable surface

The intervention group will receive an exergame-based cognitive-sensorimotor intervention on an unstable surface (by placing the exergame device (Senso) on an unstable surface). The Senso is a platform for the dynamic recording of steps, weight shifts and other body movements producing forces. For the labile condition, the Senso is mounted on steel balls, allowing the platform to swing freely along the horizontal plane. There is no movement induced by the platform itself. Sway is only induced when the participant steps and shifts the center of pressure. The degree of instability and movement of the platform can be adjusted by inducing a dampening. The dampening can be set manually, either to on or off. When damping is on, the movement can be reduced by predefined percentages. The maximum displacement of the platform is thereby 100 mm to each side.

The control group will receive an exergame-based cognitive-motor intervention on an stable surface using the exergame device Senso. The Senso is a platform for the dynamic recording of steps, weight shifts and other body movements producing forces.
