Conditions
Stroke
Interventions
Device: Intensive Visual Simulation 3 (IVS3) device
Device: traditional Mirror Therapy (TM)
Device: Electroencephalography (EEG)
Registration Number
NCT04025411
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

Mirror Therapy (TM) has been shown to be effective in motor rehabilitation of the hemiplegic upper limb, but its implementation in current clinical practice has several difficulties, both from the patient and physiotherapist point of view.

A new computerized Mirror Therapy (TM) device (Intensive Visual Simulation 3 (IVS3), Dessintey) which aims to solve the TM compliance problems and make it more efficient have been developed.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to compare the observance and efficiency of the Intensive Visual Simulation 3 (IVS3) therapy as compared to traditional Mirror Therapy (TM) in a population of hemiplegic stroke patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline Fugl-Meyer motor assessment score at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 daysDay: 0, 18, 32, 60

Measured by Fugl-Meyer motor assessment score at baseline, at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.

Fugl-Meyer score assesses the analytical motor skills of the upper limb with minimum score at 0 (hemiplegia) and maximum score at 66 (normal motor performance).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline Barthel index at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.Day: 0, 18, 32, 60

Measured by Barthel index at baseline, at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days. Barthel index assesses autonomy with minimum score at 0 (total dependence) and maximum score at 100 (complete autonomy).

Change from baseline Abilhand questionnaire at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.Day: 0, 18, 32, 60

Measured by Abilhand questionnaire at baseline, at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.

Abilhand questionnaire will allow self-evaluation of the function of the upper limb in daily life with minimum score at 0 (difficulties in daily life) and maximum score at 46 (no difficulties in daily life).

Change from baseline modified Frenchay Arm Test score at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.Day: 0, 18, 32, 60

Measured by Frenchay Arm Test score at baseline, at 18 days, at 32 days, and at 60 days.

Frenchay Arm Test score assesses functional improvement of the activities of the upper limb paretics with minimum score at 0 (total dependence) and maximum score at 100 (complete autonomy).

Analysis of brain activityMonth: 2

Measured by Electroencephalography (EEG) results.
