This study aims to assess differences in choice of treatment (and the rationale behind it), physical function, pain intensity, satisfaction, and decision regret between orthopedic patients who review a decision aid during their visit and those that do not. Decision aids for 23 different conditions are included.

The aim of the study was to determine construct validity, discriminant validity and intra- and interrater reliability of the Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale (SCUES).

NCT ID: NCT03196739 Completed - Brain Diseases Clinical Trials

Feasibility of Virtual Reality Games Using Head-mounted Display on Patients With Brain Disorders

Start date: June 20, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Because virtual reality can provide more enriched environment, repetitive goal-oriented tasks, and increased patients' interest and motivation, it is expected to stimulate neuroplasticity of injured brain and promote recovery in patients with brain disorders. On the other hand, immersive virtual reality using a head-mounted display has not yet been attempted in the rehabilitation of patients with brain disorders. In addition to the benefits of existing virtual reality or game rehabilitation, immersive virtual reality can further enhance brain plasticity, such as the effect of mirror therapy or action observation, through self-awareness of the body in the virtual space. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of applying the immersive virtual reality using a head-mounted display in patients with upper extremity dysfunction due to brain disorders.

Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Stimulation to Restore Upper Extremity Functions in Spinal Cord Injury

ADDRESS
Start date: December 27, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stimulation of the spinal cord may induce the growth and reorganization of neural pathways leading to the re-animation of paralyzed limbs. Growing evidence indicates that electrical spinal cord stimulation improves motor functions immediately via modulating the excitability of spinal circuitry in patients with spinal cord injury. Recently, a novel, non-invasive, well-tolerated and painless transcutaneous electrical stimulation strategy was demonstrated to be effective for improving lower limb motor function in healthy individuals and in patients with spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that transcutaneous cervical electrical stimulation can enhance conscious motor control and functions of hand and arm via neuromodulation of spinal network. This study is a prospective efficacy trial of transcutaneous cervical electrical stimulation for improving upper limb function in patients with traumatic or degenerative cervical spinal cord injury. Transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation device is not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration for treatment of spinal cord injury. The interventions include either transcutaneous cervical spinal electrical stimulation combined with physical therapy or physical therapy only. The order of the interventions will be randomized for each subject in a delayed cross-over design. Total duration of the study is 6 months, including 4 weeks baseline measurements, 8 weeks intervention and 12 weeks follow-up. Both immediate and lasting improvements in hand motor and sensory function via transcutaneous cervical spinal stimulation will be evaluated.

NCT ID: NCT03005457 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Pilot Study to Assess the Feasibility and Initial Efficacy of Therapist-as-consultant, Game-based CI Therapy

Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pilot study to assess the feasibility and initial efficacy of therapist-as-consultant, game-based CI therapy. Pre/post study design. Participant received a target of 30 hours game-based motor intervention, 100 hours constraint of the less affected upper extremity, and 5 hours therapist consultation (including completion of a behavioral contract at the first study visit). Duration of intervention was 10 consecutive weekdays, with pre-treatment and post-treatment testing performed within 1 week prior to and 1 week post-intervention by an independent tester.

NCT ID: NCT02966990 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Upper Extremity Dysfunction

Biomechanical Analysis of the Effects of Upper Limb Orthosis During the Execution of a Functional Task

Start date: December 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The orthotics are auxiliary therapeutic resources indicated for the relief of pain, improves functional standard or correction of deformities. There is a lack of studies that analyze the biomechanical changes promoted by the Orthotics in functional pattern of the upper limb. The objective of this proposal is to analyse biomechanical changes in the functional upper limb pattern with the use of orthoses for patients with dysfunctions arising from musculoskeletal system trauma or burns, aiming to contribute with scientific evidence to clinical practice. The project will analyze the changes in the pattern of the upper limb functional through the use of dynamic and static Orthotics by means of kinematic and electromyographic analysis while conducting a functional task. These comparisons will be carried out with and without the use of functional Orthotics, and the controls are the patients themselves. Methods: 25 patients will be included over 18 years with malfunctions resulting from orthopaedic trauma and Burns of the upper limb with indication and Orthotics for improving functional pattern. For characterization of the sample will be performed: esthesiometric , hand and the (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) DASH Questionnaire. Biomechanical assessment will be used for the analysis and electromyographic kinematics. For statistical analysis will be applied the method of analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures, and when necessary, the post hoc Bonferroni test. Will be adopted as significance level p ≤ 0.05.

Upper Extremity Dysfunction Post Radial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Trans-Radial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (TR-PCI) is rapidly becoming the gold standard. This is especially the case in primary Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI), where most benefits of the radial approach, such as reduced major bleeding and mortality, can be expected. However there is very limited research available looking at the consequences of trans-radial access for upper extremity function. The main objective of this study is to provide insight in the morbidity with regards to the upper extremity surrounding the radial access route in percutaneous coronary interventions. Secondary objectives are to provide insight in the consequences for functional status, factors influencing and financial costs of this morbidity, to identify subject who might benefit from early referral and treatment of this morbidity and to generate hypotheses for further clinical research into this matter. The investigators hypothesis is that approximately 20% of the population will experience upper extremity dysfunction after TR-PCI.

Movement Enhancing Device for Children

Start date: May 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess: 1) how infants move their bodies to explore, play, and solve problems, 2) if this is different in a high-risk group of infants, and 3) if these abilities can be advanced in a high-risk group through the use of a movement assisting device.
