Quantification of Arm Non-Use After a Stroke

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Hemiplegia
• Interventions: Other: Kinematic analysis of trunk compensation

• Registration Number: NCT02326688
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

Brief Summary

Reproducibility assessment of a quantitative measure of the amount of trunk compensation by kinematic analysis in a grasping task in stroke patients.This "maladaptive trunk compensation" is suspected to be underlined by "arm non-use" in some patients, since this abnormal movement impairs the ability of patients to correctly flex their shoulder and extend their elbow during grasping.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
control patients	Kinematic analysis of trunk compensation	Kinematic measurement of the amount of trunk displacement during a grasping task * Two separated measurements are recorded with a 6-hours interval * A third measurement provided by a second examinator is conducted
stroke patients	Kinematic analysis of trunk compensation	Kinematic measurement of the amount of trunk displacement during a grasping task * Two separated measurements are recorded with a 6-hours interval * A third measurement provided by a second examinator is conducted

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Kinematic measurement of trunk displacement by the maladaptive index trunk compensation	1 day	The Maladaptive Index Trunk Compensation (MTC) is the difference between the compensation index (CI) in the free trunk condition and to the fixed core condition. The compensation index is the core of the movement of the report on the movement of the hand.
