Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality-mediated upper extremity rehabilitation added to the conventional rehabilitation program on upper extremity, quality of life, range of motion and spasticity in patients with stroke.


Description:

This prospective, randomized and controlled study will be conducted with patients diagnosed with stroke. Among the patients who are admitted to outpatient or inpatient rehabilitation program in SBU Kanuni Sultan Süleyman PMR clinic, 30 patients diagnosed with stroke who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Patients diagnosed with stroke will be randomized into two groups using a computer program (Virtual reality group, control group). Participants in both groups will receive a conventional rehabilitation program. Participants in the virtual reality group will receive virtual reality-mediated upper extremity rehabilitation for 3 weeks, 5 sessions per week, each session lasting 30 minutes (total 450 minutes). In the virtual reality intervention, participants will be asked to control the games with hand, wrist and forearm movements in front of a computer screen in front of the SensoRehab® sensor that can detect hand movements through gloves. 3 different games will be intervened for 10 minutes each, totaling 30 minutes per day. Participants in the control group will be instructed in hand, finger, wrist and forearm therapeutic exercises by a physiotherapist. After the intervention, patients will be evaluated in terms of upper extremity functions, quality of life, range of motion and spasticity. All evaluations will be repeated before, after and 3 months after the intervention. Routine 3-month PMR outpatient clinic control is recommended for patients with stroke. Therefore, no additional hospital visit is requested from the patients due to the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale This scale is a stroke-specific, performance-based scale and each parameter is scored as 0; unsuccessful, 1; partially successful and 2; completely successful performance. This scale consists of five sections: motor function, balance, sensation, range of motion and pain. The motor function assessment section is scored as 100 points (66 upper extremities and 34 lower extremities), sensation (light touch and position sense) 24 points, balance (6 sitting and 8 standing) 14 points, range of motion 44 points and joint pain 44 points. Change from Baseline Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale at 3rd Month After Intervention
Secondary Functional Independence Measure Participants' functional status will be assessed by Functional Independence Measure. In this scale, the functional status of patients is evaluated with 18 questions under 6 sub-headings, each question is scored between 1-7. Higher scores indicate better functional status. Change from Baseline Functional Independence Measure at 3rd Month After Intervention
Secondary Handgrip Strength The handgrip strength of the participants will be evaluated with a dynamometer. Change from Baseline Handgrip Strength at 3rd Month After Intervention
Secondary Modified Ashworth Scale Upper extremity muscle spasticity of the participants will be evaluated with the modified Ashworth Scale. According to this scale, spasticity is evaluated between 0-4. Higher points mean more spasticity. Change from Baseline Modified Ashworth Scale at 3rd Month After Intervention
Secondary Stroke Impact Scale The quality of life of the participants will be evaluated with the Stroke Impact Scale.It consists of 8 subsections and 59 questions. Each question is scored by rating the difficulty experienced in the last week on a 5-point scale. The score for each section ranges from 0-100. Higher scores are associated with better quality of life. Change from Baseline Stroke Impact Scale. at 3rd Month After Intervention
