fNIRS Study of Effort-dependent Brain Activations During Pointing Movements of the Upper Limb in Post-stroke Patients and Healthy Subjects

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Background: Following a stroke, as part of neurorehabilitation, the intensity of effort is important to promote neural changes and stimulate motor recovery. There are few studies concerning the cortical activity involved at different levels of intensity during upper limb motor training. Objective: To investigate cortex activation while walking an exoskeleton with 4 levels of guidance force in healthy controls.

  • Right-handed patient;
  • Patient having agreed to sign an informed consent form;
  • Patient affiliated to the French social security system.
    • For healthy subjects
  • Age-matched participant, for each stroke subject included will be associated a control subject of the same age (to the nearest 5 years);
  • Right-handed participant;
  • Participant having agreed to sign an informed consent form;
  • Participant affiliated to the French social security system.
    • NON-INCLUSION CRITERIA
