Clinical Trial 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.


Clinical Trial Description

On the first day, participants will be asked to sign the informed consent form and the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be reconfirmed. Subsequently, manual grip strength, terminal opposition grip strength, subterminal opposition grip strength, subterminal opposition grip strength, subterminal-lateral grip strength and tridigital grip strength will be assessed using a JAMAR dynamometer. After this, the CAVIDACE quality of life scale and the FIM-FAM functional independence scale will be completed. Finally, motor function assessment will be carried out with the ARAT. After the end of the treatment, the reassessment will be carried out and the initial assessments will be repeated. Subsequently, study participants will be followed up telematically, assessing quality of life using the CAVIDACE scale. Follow-up will be carried out 3 and 6 months after the end of treatment. The data collected will be stored in a database created for this purpose with the Microsoft Access programme. Subsequently, they will be analysed using the SPSS/PC statistical programme. An exploratory analysis of all the information collected will be carried out for descriptive purposes; qualitative variables will be analysed using percentages, while quantitative variables will be analysed using mean and standard deviation. In both cases, the confidence intervals will be 95%. After verifying whether the distribution of the data is normal or not, the hypothesis tests indicated in each case will be applied (χ2, Student's t, ANOVA, etc.). A significance level of 0.05 will be used for hypothesis testing. All analyses will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. ;
