Paralytic Stroke Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study of Neuro Hand Orthosis Program: A Promising Restorative Therapy Treatment for the Severe Paralytic Arm in Subacute Stroke Rehabilitation
The implementation of Neuro Hand Orthosis Upper Limb Program can significantly improve the severe stroke paralytic arm in subacute rehabilitation as compared with the use of conventional therapy.
The neuro hand orthosis is based on a design of dynamic hand orthosis for orthopaedic
patients. We attempt to apply such an orthosis on stroke patients to aid in regaining
movement from severe paralytic arm by helping the patients to support their wrist and finger
in a functional position for grasping. The patient is then encouraged to produce voluntary
movement from the severe paralytic arm to transport an object (ball) from place to place
either in sitting or standing position.
Since intensive arm usage is associated with neuro reorganisation, we propose designing a
program with the neuro hand to encourage usage of the paralysed hand and help overcome the
barriers of poor motivation and lack of arm usage through self practice program.
