Effect of Vibratory Tendon Stimulation on Muscle Fatigue in the Acute Post-stroke Phase

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Fatigue; Stroke, Acute; Stroke
• Interventions: Device: Vibration

• Registration Number: NCT06296225
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans

Brief Summary

It seems that prolonged vibratory stimulation of the anterior forearm in healthy subjects leads to fatigue of the muscles concerned, with a reduction in their strength. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of vibratory tendon stimulation on grip force fatigue during the acute post-stroke phase.

The investigations will be carried out by a specialized physiotherapist from the neurology department.

The experiment consists of three successive phases:

* First : measurement of the maximum handgrip force before any vibratory stimulation and then after the three sessions of ten-minute vibration.

* Second : Rest period

* Third: control phase with measurement of the maximum grip force every ten minutes without vibration.
