Official title
Interface Pressures, Safety, Adherence, and Tactile Outcomes of Different Pressure Garments After Stroke: A Prospective, Participant-Blinded, Three-Arm, Parallel-Group Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This study aims to investigate the interface pressure changes of single-layer with 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), single-layer with 15% circumferential reduction (S-15), and dorsal double-layered with 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10)pressure garments over time, their relationships with adherence and adverse events, and their effects on tactile gnosis. Participants will: 1. Wear S-10, S-15, or DD-10 for at least 12 hours daily for four weeks 2. Measure interface pressure at baseline and weekly 3. Assess tactile gnosis at baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 4. Record adherence and adverse events using a self-report logbook
Interventions
- Other Single-Layered 10% Circumferential Reduction (S-10) Pressure Garment
Each participant will receive a single-layered 10% circumferential reduction (S-10) pressure garment, fabricated based on their circumferential measurement. Participants will receive standardized verbal and written instructions on prescribed wear schedules, donning and doffing techniques, skin inspection, and hygiene. Caregivers will be trained to assist when required. Participants will be asked to wear the pressure garment daily for at least 6 hours in the day and 6 hours in the evening for 4 w - Other Dorsal-Double-Layered 10% Circumferential Reduction (DD-10) Pressure Garment
Each participant will receive a dorsal doubled-layered 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10) pressure garment, fabricated based on their circumferential measurement. Participants will receive standardized verbal and written instructions on prescribed wear schedules, donning and doffing techniques, skin inspection, and hygiene. Caregivers will be trained to assist when required. Participants will be asked to wear the pressure garment daily for at least 6 hours in the day and 6 hours in the evenin - Other Single-Layered 15% Circumferential Reduction (S-15) Pressure Garment
