Synergistic Bilateral Upper-Limb Stroke Rehabilitation Based on Robotic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This comparative efficacy study will be based on a 3-armed controlled trial: bilateral robotic priming combined with bilateral arm training (bilateral RT+BAT), bilateral robotic priming combined with mirror therapy (bilateral RT+MT), and the control intervention (bilateral RT+IOT). The goal of this 4-year project is to provide scientific evidence of the comparative efficacy research of hybrid interventions based on unilateral vs. bilateral approach to upper limb rehabilitation in subacute and chronic stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

This proposed research fits in the NHRI research priority 4-1 by addressing innovative treatment strategies for stroke that is in desperate need of scientific scrutiny. Stroke is one of the major medical conditions that lead to long-term disability and causes heavy health care and financial burden. Advances in clinical and translational neurosciences have led to the new development of stroke rehabilitation. Current stroke rehabilitation programs such as robotic therapy, mirror therapy, and bilateral arm training are bilateral approaches to intensive practice based on the tenet of practice-dependent neuroplasticity. Bilateral robotic therapy can potentially be a movement-based priming technique to promote rebalancing of cortical excitability and create an enriched neuroplastic environment by priming the brain to facilitate motor and functional recovery. This proposed research project will: (1) examine the effects of bilateral robotic priming combined with bilateral arm training approach versus bilateral robotic priming combined with mirror therapy, relative to the control intervention approach (bilateral robotic priming combined with impairment-oriented training) on sensorimotor function, daily function, self-efficacy, quality of life, and motor control strategy in patients with stroke, (2) investigate the 3-month retention effects of robotic priming combined with contemporary rehabilitation approaches (i.e., bilateral arm training and mirror therapy) and the control intervention, and (3) identify the potential predictors of functionally relevant changes after therapy. ;

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.
