Immediate Effect of Capacitive Resistive Electric Transfer Therapy (CRet) Associated With Functional Massage on the Rectus Femoris and Gastrocnemius in Post-stroke Spasticity
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CRet and Sham CRet for Stroke Sequelae and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the immediate effects of CRet associated to Functional Massage (F.M) in terms of gait and functionality after stroke
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In prone position, subjects will get a 7 min preparation massage with CRet on resistive mode (80-100W), on the lumbar area, followed by a 5 min preparation massage with CRet on resistive mode (100-120 W) on the hamstrings. Then a 5 min Functional Massage (F.M) with passive anckle dorsiflexion and CRet on resistive mode (110-120 W) will be performed on the gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis, followed by a 4 min F.M with CRet on capacitive mode (180-250VA) on the mentioned area. In supine position, a 5 min F.M with passive knee flexion and CRet on resistive mode (110-140W) will be performed on the rectus femoris, followed by a 4 min F.M with passive knee flexion and CRet on capacitive mode (180-250VA) on the mentioned area. A physiotherapist will monitor the temperature of the patient's treated area every 2 minutes.
In prone position, subjects will get a 7 min preparation massage with CRet on resistive mode (0 W), on the lumbar area, followed by a 5 min preparation massage with CRet on resistive mode (0 W) on the hamstrings. Then a 5 min Functional Massage (F.M) with passive anckle dorsiflexion and CRet on resistive mode (0 W) will be performed on the gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis, followed by a 4 min FM with CRet on capacitive mode (0 VA) on the mentioned area. In supine position, a 5 min F.M with passive knee flexion and CRet on resistive mode (0W) will be performed on the rectus femoris, followed by a 4 min F.M with passive knee flexion and CRet on capacitive mode (0VA) on the mentioned area.
