The study aims to compare the effects of dorsal-double-layered 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10), single-layered 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), and single-layered no circumferential reduction (S-0) pressure garments on sensorimotor functions, including motor control, dexterity, muscle tone, pain, self-perceived upper extremity function, and quality of life among stroke patients during the 8 weeks of application (Time 1: Baseline, Time 2: Week 4, Time 3: Week 8).Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Pressure Garments of Varying Designs on Upper Extremity Sensorimotor Functions and Quality of Life After Stroke: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
The study aims to compare the effects of dorsal-double-layered 10% circumferential reduction (DD-10), single-layered 10% circumferential reduction (S-10), and single-layered no circumferential reduction (S-0) pressure garments on sensorimotor functions, including motor control, dexterity, muscle tone, pain, self-perceived upper extremity function, and quality of life among stroke patients during the 8 weeks of application (Time 1: Baseline, Time 2: Week 4, Time 3: Week 8).
Inclusion: Between 18 and 80 years of age; Within 1-12 months of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke; First onset resulting in hemiparesis of a limb with Burnnstrom stage of 3, 4 or 5; Modified Ashworth Scale with scores of less than or equal 2 for elbow, wrist, and hand muscle tone in the affected upper extremity; Able to understand instruction.
Exclusion: Serious cardiovascular or respiratory diseases; Skin lesions, infections or other skin problems; Serious circulatory problems such as deep vein thrombosis; Allergies or significant discomfort to pressure garment materials; Severe cognitive impairment with Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMs) scores equal to or less than 27 (above high school level of education)/25 (below high school level of education); Upper extremity fractures or severe joint problems.
