- Original description
Recovery of function in people with central nervous system (CNS) injury after stroke is very much like a relearning process that takes advantage of preserved sensorimotor circuits. Relearning can be optimised by providing appropriate proprioceptive (or deep sensory) information to the spinal cord with the aim of maximally engaging the preserved neural circuits. The development of the SURA electrodevice offers this sensitive input mechanism, within the Botton Up therapies. And through research on its use, the impact on the different dimensions related to gait and its components, and the translation to the functional reality of the person, will be evaluated.Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Proprioceptive Sensitivity Stimulation Via the SURA Electrodevice on Kinematics, Kinetics and Spatiotemporal Parameters of Gait: a Pilot Study.
Recovery of function in people with central nervous system (CNS) injury after stroke is very much like a relearning process that takes advantage of preserved sensorimotor circuits. Relearning can be optimised by providing appropriate proprioceptive (or deep sensory) information to the spinal cord with the aim of maximally engaging the preserved neural circuits. The development of the SURA electrodevice offers this sensitive input mechanism, within the Botton Up therapies. And through research on its use, the impact on the different dimensions related to gait and its components, and the translation to the functional reality of the person, will be evaluated.
Inclusion: Unilateral hemispheric stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic) diagnosed by MRI or CT scan, at least 3 months after onset of stroke; Ability to walk at least 10m (irrespective of the need for assistance); Weakness in ankle dorsiflexion of the paretic limb (TFM>3); Ankle ROM >30° and 0° of foot dorsiflexion in knee extension; Age between 18 and 85 years; Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) > 24 score, non-disabling cognitive impairment; Presence of clonus and hyperresistance to passive joint movement.
Exclusion: Diagnosis of Cognitive, visual or cardiorespiratory disorder (including cardiac pacemaker placement, heart failure and arrhythmia); Balance disorders with vestibular features; Skin diseases; Orthopaedic intervention for IE; Botulinum toxin treatment within the last year; In addition, subjects who had participated in other studies in the last six months that could interact with the current study will be excluded.
