Summary

This study aims to exam the effectiveness of vibration training on muscle strength of lower limbs, functional recovery, and mood state among patients with acute stroke.

Detailed description

There remains challenging for improving functional recovery of stroke patients in the acute post-stroke period among patients with acute stroke. Particularly the effectiveness of early rehabilitation combining with vibration training for patients with acute stroke is unknown. Therefore, this study aims to exam the effectiveness of vibration training on muscle strength of lower limbs, functional recovery, and mood state among patients with acute stroke. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Patients with acute ischemic stroke will be selected and randomly assigned to either control group (CG), exercise group (EG), wearable leg vibration training group (WG), or lower extremity vibration training group (LG). All groups will receive conventional treatment and regular rehabilitation. Neurologic disability (Modified Rankin Scale), muscle strength, functional status (Postural Assessment Scale and Barthel Scale), and mood state (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) will be collected to compare between groups and pre- and post-differences.

Conditions

• Vibration; Exposure
• Rehabilitation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Vibration training	The vibration sessions were performed and supervised by a stroke care experienced registered nurses/researchers who had both nurse and physiotherapist license. The wearable leg vibration training with vibration frequency = 30 Hz, vibration amplitude = 1 mm in the WG was applied by the wearable leg vibration device (Myovolt, New Zealand) which fits comfortably around the knee and hamstring or calf and delivers focal vibration treatment. While the lower-extremity weight bearing vibration training with vibration frequency = 20 Hz, vibration amplitude = 3 mm in the LG was applied the Cozy Fit (HY-806, China) vibration device with vertical direction, which participants stand with both feet upright on the vibrator in a seated position.
