LUNA-EMG to Enhance Motor Functions in Neurological Disorders
- Conditions
- Stroke
- Interventions
- Device: LUNA-EMG
- Registration Number
- NCT04716829
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Liege
- Brief Summary
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of training performed with the LUNA-EMG system to enhance motor functions of the upper limb in stroke This is a randomized open-label trial. Patients will be randomized into the intervention group (LUNA-EMG) or in the control group (standard care).
The effect of the training will be measured with the EMG, the upper limb motor function and the quality of life.

Group Intervention Description LUNA-EMG LUNA-EMG The experimental group will receive 30 minutes of training with the LUNA-EMG for 12 weeks.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method muscular strength in mV 12 weeks muscular strength will be measured with the EMG
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Lovett 12 weeks This scale measures muscular strength. The scale ranges from 0 to 5 (the higher the better).
Fugl-Meyer 12 weeks The scale evaluates motor capacities of the upper limb following a stroke. Scores range from 0 to 66 (the higher the better).
Modified Ashworth Scale 12 weeks This scale measures spasticity. The results are scored from 0 to 4 (the higher the more spastic).
