Clinical Trial Summary

This project attempts to perform a randomized controlled trial to verify the efficacy and motor control mechanism of the proposed combined functional electrical therapy with distributed constraint-induced therapy or with robot-assisted Bilateral training.


Clinical Trial Description

Two theory-based, task-oriented approaches are distributed CIT (dCIT) and robot-assisted Bilateral training(BAT). CIT/dCIT involves massed practice of the affected arm and restraint of the unaffected arm. BAT involves repetitive practice of symmetrical bilateral movements on robot. Both are evident to improve motor performance, motor control or daily function in high functioning patients. These dCIT and BAT have their own limitations for motor-deficit rehabilitation after stroke, i.e. only appropriate for high-functioning or mildly motor impaired patients. Functional electrical therapy, an innovative technology, is proposed as an adjunct to these behavioral approaches to assist in movement execution. Functional electrical therapy is used to increase the electric activity of muscles for movement and the active range of motion in low functioning patients. Combining functional electrical therapy into CIT or BAT may extend the utility of these two behavioral approaches beyond patients with mild motor deficits and could expedite the progress of motor recovery. This project attempts to perform a randomized controlled trial to verify the efficacy and motor control mechanism of the proposed combined functional electrical therapy with dCIT or with BAT. ;
