NCT ID: NCT04613648 Terminated - Hemiplegia Clinical Trials

Ultrasonographic Assessment of Painful and Stiff Hemiplegic Shoulder in Terms of Adhesive Capsulitis

Start date: October 7, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Although a relationship has been reported between stroke and adhesive capsulitis, it is controversial whether the underlying cause of the capsular changes seen in hemiplegic shoulder pain is true adhesive capsulitis. Although there has been a limited number of studies, ultrasound, which has been reported as a sensitive and specific method in the diagnosis of true (idiopathic) adhesive capsulitis, has not yielded similar results to arthrography and MRI in demonstrating fibrotic and adhesive changes in the glenohumeral capsule in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. This study aims to investigate ultrasonographic structural changes that may be associated with adhesive capsulitis in subacute stroke patients with painful and stiff hemiplegic side shoulder.

Immersive Virtual Reality for Visuo-motor Integration Skill Assessment

Start date: May 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A significant deficit affecting nearly half of children with hemiplegia is visual-motor integration, or eye-hand coordination. Children have difficulties integrating visual and motor information to effectively plan and execute movements. Visual-motor impairments are detrimental because they affect accuracy of reaching and grasping, which are movements involved in feeding, writing, and sports participation, among many other daily life activities. Although paper-and-pencil and touchscreen computer assessments exist, these fail to evaluate impairments under realistic, 3D conditions. This assessment barrier leads to significant gaps in knowledge the influence of these impairments on children's performance of functional activities. We will use immersive virtual reality (VR) delivered using a head-mounted display (HMD) to address this gap. Because it is fully visually immersive, VR makes interactions similar to real world performance. These features enable HMD-VR to offer more natural assessment conditions. HMD-VR may help us gain important new knowledge about functional movement deficits in children with hemiplegia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate low-cost HMD-VR as a realistic assessment tool for visual-motor integration deficits in children with hemiplegia. The long-term goals of our research program are to: 1) Inform clinical decision-making practices by providing families and clinicians with precise, accurate information about children's abilities; and 2) Generate new knowledge about visual-motor integration impairments to enhance the effectiveness of both virtual and conventional rehabilitation interventions. We will recruit 40 children with hemiplegia aged 7-16 years at GMFCS Levels I-III and Manual Ability Classification System levels I-II for testing sessions of seated paper-and-pencil, touchscreen computer and HMD-VR visual-motor integration tasks at 3 clinical sites We will measure feasibility using counts of enrollment, side-effects and protocol completion. Visual-motor integration is quantified in the paper-and-pencil task via standardized score and in touchscreen and HMD-VR tasks using equivalent temporal and spatial eye and hand metrics. This pilot study will generate descriptive estimates of differences in visual-motor performance under conditions of differing 3D realism. This work is the first step towards the ultimate goal of a valid assessment method informing new VR-based treatment options for children with hemiplegia.

Induced Motion Illusions Through Vision and Tendon Vibrations: Study of Interactions in Hemiplegic Subjects

OPTIVIBE
Start date: April 30, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Two movement illusion techniques can currently be used in clinical practice for motor rehabilitation after stroke hemiplegia: visual illusion (mirror therapy) and proprioceptive illusion (tendon vibration). Mirror therapy, in its computerized version (IVS3, Dessintey, Saint-Etienne, France), is based on the substitution of the deficient visual feedback by a visual feedback of a correctly realized movement. The proprioceptive illusion is based on the external application of a vibrator on muscle tendons at a frequency between 50 and 120 Hz. These two techniques are currently used independently. They are, in theory, complementary and additive. No study has described the combinatorial properties of the illusions generated by these 2 techniques in hemiplegic subjects and healthy subjects.

Start date: September 24, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate if two courses of five consecutive sessions of noninvasive spinal stimulation paired with peripheral nerve stimulation at the forearm provided by an investigational device (Doublestimâ„¢/ MyoRegulatorâ„¢ System - PathMaker Neurosystems Inc.) are able to improve wrist stiffness and motor function, when combined with intensive robotic wrist training program in participants with chronic spastic hemiparesis after stroke.

NCT ID: NCT03811275 Terminated - Clinical trials for Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Task or Virtual Reality Intervention for Improving UE Function

Start date: September 8, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

People with one arm that does not function well due to a stroke, head injury, or cerebral palsy, and a fully functional other arm, will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two interventions first, followed by the other intervention. The two interventions include a task-based intervention and a virtual reality intervention that provides a reflected image of the involved arm. The task-based intervention will consist of setting up activities of interest to be done using the involved arm and structuring practice and meaningful feedback to assist learning. The virtual reality intervention will consist of the person wearing the virtual reality device and practicing virtual tasks using the intact arm while seeing the involved arm. Intervention sessions will last approximately 30 minutes and will be held 3 times/week for 3 weeks each for a total of 9 sessions for each intervention. Testing of the involved arm's function will be done before the interventions, after receiving 9 sessions of each intervention, and one month after completing the second intervention received.

Effect of Taping in the Hemiplegic Patient With a Deficit of the Footbrowers

NEUROTAP
Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A majority of people undergoing rehabilitation following a stroke have a deficit of the dorsal flexors of the foot. The implementation of rehabilitation techniques in accordance with the recommendations of learned societies is not sufficient to compensate for this deficit. Also Kinesio Taping's method of Dr. Kenzo Kase has caught our attention by its action on muscle, joint, circulatory and pain functions. The use of taping would increase the duration of stimulation of the muscles of the dorsiflexors of the foot which would facilitate the motor recovery. Data from the literature do not support the conclusion that taping is effective, but no studies evaluating the efficacy of this technique in the foot-lift deficiency of the hemiplegic patient have been found. The investigators hypothesize that the use of taping in conjunction with common rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients following a stroke improves the stimulation of the muscles of the dorsiflexors of the foot with a positive impact on the walking.

NCT ID: NCT02888548 Terminated - Clinical trials for Upper Limb Spasticity

Randomised, Evaluation-blinded, Crossover, Controlled Study Assessing Dynamic Hand Splinting in Adults With Post-stroke Hemiplegia (Orthox)

ORTHOX
Start date: April 22, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Upper limb spasticity is currently mainly managed with local toxin treatments. Recent studies suggested combining botulinum toxin injections with splinting to optimise rehabilitation in spastic patients. However, one study focused exclusively on lower limb spasticity, the second on elbow flexor hypertonia, and the last on wrist and finger spasticity in children. A study was performed in adult patients with upper limb spasticity treated with botulinum toxin injections used as primary objective the tolerance for dynamic splinting. The authors noted that the need for botulinum toxin was reduced in 2 patients out of 6. No study has been conducted to date on the splinting + toxin combination in adults. Another study showed that stretching sessions over 2 weeks of a muscle just given botulinum toxin helped improve the toxin's efficacy 2, 6 and 12 weeks after the injection. For this reason, rehabilitation teams routinely prescribe 10 sessions of physiotherapy for 15 days after botulinum treatment. Based on this principle, we hypothesise that dynamic night splinting applied just after botulinum toxin treatment may also increase the toxin's efficacy. We chose a dynamic splint providing continuous stretching of the wrist and fingers in extension whilst allowing active flexion. Night splinting is thought to promote optimal functional use of the paretic upper limb during the day and thus prevent learned non-use, which could worsen the spasticity. Each patient will receive treatment cycles, whose results will be compared, so that each patient will act as his/her own control. The evaluation will be based on the Tardieu scale chosen for its greater inter-individual reproducibility and greater reliability to measure spasticity. The degree of extension of wrist and fingers provided by the splint will be adjusted to the patient's clinical condition with the elastic tensioners. The purpose of the splint is to maintain the stretch beyond the Tardieu spasticity angle at fast speed (V3) without reaching maximum extension, which could be harmful. This protocol is designed to determine whether dynamic night hand splinting combined with botulinum toxin injections will improve botulinum antispastic efficacy in adults with brain damage.

NCT ID: NCT02844868 Terminated - Stroke Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Observance and the Tolerance of a Motor Training Program

ESTIMAH
Start date: February 22, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Transcortical direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging technique in the rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients after stroke. This study aims to assess the observance and the tolerance of repeated tDCS stimulation over the primary motor cortex of the lower limb coupled to a motor training program, among hemiplegic patients at the sub-acute stage. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, study with two parallel groups of 15 subjects each. The study will analyze first, the patient's observance considered good if 75% of the patients completed the entire protocol duration and the tolerance through a questionnaire. The secondary end point will try to estimate, if possible, the effect size of the walking performance measured with the six-minute walk test and aerobic performance measured with VO2peak of this training program compared to the same program combine with placebo stimulations. These evaluations are performed before, during and after the rehabilitation program.

NCT ID: NCT02772809 Terminated - Stroke Clinical Trials

Usability Testing of Affordable Haptic Robots for Stroke Therapy

Theradrive
Start date: March 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stroke survivors with hemiplegia will be evaluated by rehabilitation professionals and asked to perform a battery of assessments to test the viability and usability of a force-feedback robot that adapts to each individual subject's performance. Subsequently, they will be asked to complete post-assessment questionnaires that provide feedback to the researchers on their observations and thoughts about the therapy devices.
