Study Overview
Brief Summary
Upper limb (UL) impairment is a common deficit following stroke with only an estimated 20 per cent of patients recovering function.
Detailed Description
Upper limb (UL) impairment is a common deficit following stroke with only an estimated 20 per cent of patients recovering function. Pain associated with UL impairment due to multifactorial causes is a frequent symptom in patients with stroke. Occupational therapy techniques focus on the implementation of positioning techniques and the use of supportive devices (SD) such as slings aimed to prevent pain; therefore increase daily function, participation and hence quality of life. At present, positioning principles of the hemiplegic shoulder exist in clinical practice. These are aimed at prevention of pain associated with UL Impairment; however there is no clear consensus among professionals of particular SD that should be implemented for adults with stroke

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluate the effects of the EO31 shoulder with Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) scale
Time Frame: 5 weeks
GAS (Goal Attainment Scale) scores will be described with regards to the 3 client-centred objectives. The score for each objective is comprised between -2 (when objective is not achieve) to 2 (achieve objective).
Secondary Outcomes
- Clinical measure of appendage(5 weeks)
- Number of daily use of the upper limb sling(5 weeks)
- motor function of upper limb with CAHAI scale(5 weeks)
- Evaluate shoulder pain with Visual Analog Scale for Pain (EVA scale)(24 hours)
- Evaluate shoulder pain with EVA scale(baseline)
- motor function of upper limb with Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) scale(baseline)
- questionnaire for quality of patient's life(5 weeks)
- Spasticity with TARDIEU scale(5 weeks)
