Investigating the Impact of Afferent Stimulation on Proprioceptive Function in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
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.
Inclusion: 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; Subjects who have signed the informed consent document to voluntarily participate in the experiments.
Exclusion: 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.
