Efficacy of a Forearm Rotation Orthosis for Persons With a Hemiparetic Arm
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating occupational therapy task-oriented approach, Forearm rotation orthosis, and 1 other intervention for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a forearm rotation orthosis combined with the occupational therapy task-oriented approach on functional performance for persons with a hemiparetic arm. Hypotheses of this study are: 1. participants who wear the forearm rotation orthosis will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in functional performance and active range of motion of forearm rotators compared to those who do not; 2. all participants who receive the occupational therapy task-oriented approach intervention will demonstrate significant improvement in functional performance; and 3. all participants who receive the occupational therapy task-oriented approach intervention will demonstrate improvement in motor function of the upper extremity.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
It is a standard treatment in occupational therapy for persons post-stroke or other neurological conditions. It is an approach that emphasizes client-centered, goal-directed, and functional training for restoration of life roles.
The forearm rotation orthosis is made of Latex-free material and is a custom-molded orthosis designed to assist forearm rotation without limiting functional elbow flexion and extension.
Participants will maintain their daily routines during the no treatment period.
