About this trial
The objective of this study is to assess the functionality of a sensory stimulation device that uses mechanical vibrations and low-intensity electrical currents to deliver proprioceptive feedback to stroke patients regarding their movements.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
No neurological or orthopedic conditions affecting upper limb movement.
No surgical interventions on the upper limbs within the past 6 months.
General physical condition adequate to perform the session.
Cognitive abilities sufficient to understand and carry out the experimental procedure.
Disqualifiers
Acute musculoskeletal disorders.
Peripheral vascular diseases.
Acute cardiopulmonary conditions.
Acute neurological disorders.
Trial design
Design model
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Afferent stimulation
DeviceStimulation applied through mechanical vibration or low-intensity electric currents
Treatment groups
20 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: Healthy subjectsExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Stroke patientsExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Motor illusion
Motor illusion is evaluated by instructing the patient to replicate the movement they experienced in the contralateral limb. Inertial sensors will be placed in such limb to acquire the movement performed by the subject.
