Tendon Vibrations for Motor Recovery After Stroke

Unknown Not Applicable NCT04504214

Study Description

Learn about a rehabilitation protocol that may improve upper limb motor recovery after a recent stroke. This protocol involves stimulating proprioception through tendinous vibrations in the early post-stroke phase. Patients receive small electromechanical vibrators on the elbow and wrist with an 80 Hz frequency, with two 15-minute sessions per day for 10 days over a period of two weeks. Motor recovery is assessed by Motor Evoked Potentials and motor control effectiveness measured by various tests. The secondary objectives include testing the feasibility of the protocol and assessing any impact on nerve fibers density on the main motor pathway by MRI. The study recruits 30 patients aged 18 and older with stroke delay under 60 days and participation duration limited to 3 months.
