Effect of Functional Electric Stimulation for Recovery of Dorsiflexion

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this project is to investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for recovery of dorsiflexion after stroke. It will be led from the University Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Danderyd Hospital (RMDS) in collaboration with the MoveAbility Lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Patients referred to RMDS for inpatient rehabilitation early after hemiparetic stroke will be included. The overall aim is to explore how 4 weeks of training incorporating the FES-system (L300 Go System ® Bioness, Ottobock) effect function of the lower extremity, gait function and mobility when compared to conventional training only, in the subacute stage after stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be included and allocated to either experimental group with training incorporating the FES-system and conventional training or to control group with conventional training only. Data will be collected before and after the intervention at RMDS and at the MoveAbility Lab. Physical tests and self-scored questionnaires of self-perceived aspects of functioning and disability will be performed at RMDS and gait analysis with 3D cameras and assessment of muscle function with EMG will be performed at the MoveAbilityLab. In addition, a short assessment of body function and activity will be performed weekly at RMDS by the therapist responsible for the rehabilitation intervention. The experimental group will wear the FES-system L300 Go at all times when the patient is taking part in rehabilitation interventions involving the lower extremity led or instructed by a physiotherapist. The settings will be adjusted by the employee from the technical company and/or the physiotherapist continuously during the intervention if needed. The system will register the distance and time accomplished during each session. Due to risk of skin irritation, if the system is overused in the beginning the experimental group will have access to an ankle-foot-orthosis too. The control group will wear an ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) and receive conventional training. The control group will wear a FES-system too, to record the distance and time accomplished during each session, but the system will not be active for stimulation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
