Subacute Stroke Recovery (Upper Extremity Motor Function): Bimanual Coordination Training
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Bilateral movements and neuromuscular electrical stimulation and Bilateral movements and sham electrical stimulation for Cerebrovascular Accident and Hemiplegia. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two amounts of treatment therapy on post stroke motor recovery in the arms. The therapy is bilateral movement training combined with electrical stimulation on the impaired limb.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants practice moving their paretic arm at the same time as they move their non-paretic arm in the same movement patterns. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation triggered by the participants' own contracting muscles is provided to the paretic arm during the movements. Training period was 4 times per week for 2 weeks.
Participants practice moving both their paretic and non-paretic arms at the same time in the same movement patterns. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation triggered by the participants' own contracting muscles is provided to the paretic arm during the movements. Training period was 2 times per week for 2 weeks.
Participants practice moving both their paretic and non-paretic arms at the same time in the same movement patterns. Sham electrical stimulation (low level electrical stimulation that can be felt but is insufficient to trigger a muscle contraction) is provided to the paretic arm during the movement. Training period was 2 times per week for 2 weeks.
