Kinect-based Upper Limb Rehabilitation System in Stroke Patients

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Stroke; Hemiplegia; Virtual Rehabilitation
• Interventions: Procedure: Kinect-based rehabilitation plus occupational therapy; Other: sham virtual rehabilitation education plus occupational therapy

• Registration Number: NCT02066116
• Lead Sponsor: Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Brief Summary

The investigators have developed the kinect-based upper extremity rehabilitation program and designed this protocol to prove the efficacy of this program.

In brief, subacute stroke patients allocated to intervention group will receive the kinect based-rehabilitation program plus conventional occupational therapy and patients allocated to control group will receive the sham virtual rehabilitation plus conventional occupational therapy, for 10 days.

20 patients with subacute stroke will be allocated into each group and after completing the 10 days intervention, they will be assessed by using objective assessment tools for upper extremity function.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from Baseline in Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale for upper extremity at 2 weeks	Baseline, 2 weeks after the baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Box and Block Test	Baseline, 2 weeks after the baseline, 6 weeks after the baseline, 14 weeks after the baseline	Individuals are seated at a table, facing a rectangular box that is divided into two square compartments of equal dimension by means of a partition.; One hundred and fifty, 2.5 cm, colored, wooden cubes or blocks are placed in one compartment or the other.; The individual is instructed to move as many blocks as possible, one at a time, from one compartment to the other for a period of 60 seconds.; The BBT is scored by counting the number of blocks carried over the partition from one compartment to the other during the one-minute trial period.
Modified Barthel Index	Baseline, 2 weeks after the baseline, 6 weeks after the baseline, 14 weeks after the baseline
Brunnstrom stage	Baseline, 2 weeks after the baseline, 6 weeks after the baseline, 14 weeks after the baseline	This is composed of 6 stages. Higher score means better function. The description for each stage as follows.; 1. Flaccidity: no voluntary movement.; 2. Synergies or minimal voluntary movement.; 3. Synergies performed voluntary (spasticity gratest).; 4. Some deviation from synergy.; 5. Independent or isolated movement.; 6. Individual joint movement nearly normal with minimal spasticity.
Number of movement counts during rehabilitation using accelerometer data	Baseline, 2 weeks after the baseline
