Overview
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.
Interventions
- Device Afferent stimulation
Stimulation applied through mechanical vibration or low-intensity electric currents
Primary outcome measures
- Motor illusion [Time frame: Periprocedural]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- For healthy subjects:
- 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.
- For stroke survivors:
- Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke resulting in motor impairments in the upper limb.
- Chronic stroke condition.
- Subjects with sufficient cognitive abilities to follow instructions and actively participate in the therapy.
- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score > 24.
- Subjects presenting hemiparesis and mild-to-moderate impairment in the upper limb (score on the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment for the upper limb, sections A-D, between 35 and 53 points). The maximum score on the FM scale is 66, with the following severity classifications:
- 0-15: severe impairment
- 16-34: moderate-to-severe impairment
- 35-53: mild-to-moderate impairment
- 54-66: mild impairment 6. Subjects presenting upper limb hypertonia with a score below 3 on the Modified Ashworth Scale.
7\. Subjects who have signed the informed consent document to voluntarily participate in the experiments.
Exclusion criteria
- Acute musculoskeletal disorders.
- Peripheral vascular diseases.
- Acute cardiopulmonary conditions.
- Acute neurological disorders.
- Restricted mobility of upper limb joints due to any cause.
- Pain as a cause of impaired upper limb mobility.
