Associative Peripheral Stimulation for Reduction of Motor Impairment During Acute Period of Stroke Recovery

Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing Associative Peripheral Stimulation (APS) for Reduction of Motor Impairment During Acute Period of Stroke Recovery

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Ahmed A. Rahim · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 79 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Associative Peripheral Stimulation (APS) is a non-invasive therapy intended for stroke rehabilitation involving transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation paired with voluntary movement. This pilot study investigates whether APS applied during the acute phase of stroke recovery may reduce impairment and improve function in the affected upper extremity.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Stroke, Acute
• Stroke, Ischemic
• Stroke, Hemorrhagic
• Hemiparesis
• Hemiparesis;Poststroke/CVA
• Weakness of Extremities as Sequela of Stroke
• Stroke Sequelae
• Upper Extremity Paresis
