Stroke, Acute Clinical Trial
— MLAS4Official title:
Exploring the Neural Substrates of Proximal and Distal Bimanual Motor Skill Learning Through Robotics and Multimodal Brain Imaging
The subacute phase of stroke provides a window into how a lesion perturbs sensorimotor functions prior to reorganisation driven by plasticity and neurorehabilitation. The recovery from motor impairment has been extensively studied, but it is currently unknown whether motor skill learning (MSkL) is enhanced or impaired during acute stroke, especially bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL), which likely requires more motor-attentional-cognitive resources than unimanual MSkL. The goals of this project are: to determine the neural substrates critical to achieve proximal and distal bimanual motor skill learning (bim-MSkL) by specifying whether (sub)acute stroke to different brain areas (cortical and subcortical) induce specific deficits in bimanual and/or distal bim-MSkL, which behavioral components are involved in bim-MSkL, and whether damage to the motor, sensory and inter-hemispheric pathways specifically impairs proximal and/or distal bim-MSkL.

Primary | Bimanual Dexterity Coordination Index measured by the Dextrain Manipulandum | bimanual Coordination factor, mathematical measure of the phase coherence between speeds of both thumb-index clamps | change between baseline (Day 1) and after training (Day 3) | |
Secondary | Reaction time measured by the Dextrain Manipulandum | time between the target appearance and when the force applied exceeds threshold | change between baseline (Day 1) and after training (Day 3) | |
Secondary | Rise time measured by the Dextrain Manipulandum | time between the reaction time and reaching the plateau | change between baseline (Day 1) and after training (Day 3) | |
Secondary | Coactivation measured by the Dextrain Manipulandum | binary measure of unasked fingers activated above the force threshold | change between baseline (Day 1) and after training (Day 3) | |
Secondary | Hold time measured by the Dextrain Manipulandum | time of plateau maintenance | change between baseline (Day 1) and after training (Day 3) | |
Secondary | Voxel-based Lesion Symptom Mapping (VLSM) | Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) | Baseline | |
Secondary | Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) | Fractional Anisotropy | Baseline | |
Secondary | Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity Test (FMA-UE) | Tests impairments of the upper limb after stroke. Range: 0-66. A higher score means less impairment. | Day1 | |
Secondary | Arm Motor Ability (AMA) test | Measure disabilities of the upper limb after stroke. Range: 0-100. A higher score means less disabilities in activities of daily living. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) | Tests the short-term memory, visuospatial skills, executive functions, attention, concentration, working memory, language and orientation in time and space. Range: 0-30, higher score means no cognitive impairment. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Fatigue Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Visual Analog Scale to evaluate fatigue = a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points. Range : 0- 10. A higher score means a higher level of fatigue. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Shoulder Abduction Finger Extension (SAFE) test | A prognostic determinant of the function of the hemiparetic upper limb (UL) after a stroke. For each of the 2 subitems, the range is 0-5. A score of 5 means normal power. A score of 0 means no contraction possible. | Day 1 | |
Secondary | Modified Ashworth Scale (mAS) | clinical measure of spasticity. For each of the 8 subitems, the range is 0-4. A higher score means a higher level of spasticity | Day 1 |
