Task-Oriented Upper Limb Training With Focal Vibration in Stroke
Effects of Task-Oriented Upper Limb Training With Localized Vibration on Hand Function, Proprioception, and Muscle Tone in Patients With Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to investigate the effects of task-oriented upper limb training combined with focal vibration on hand function, proprioception, and muscle tone in patients with stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving task-oriented training with concurrent focal vibration or a control group receiving task-oriented training alone. The intervention will be conducted over 6 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed before and after the intervention.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Individuals who received treatments affecting upper limb function within the past 3 months (e.g., botulinum toxin injection, surgery, nerve block)
Other illness
- Individuals within 3 months after stroke onset
- Individuals with severe sensory hypersensitivity or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
Other
- Individuals with fractures, severe soft tissue injuries, or contraindications to focal vibration
Who the study is looking for
- Individuals diagnosed with stroke at least 3 months prior
- Individuals with sufficient cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination \[MMSE\] score ≥ 24)
- Individuals able to maintain a seated position independently and perform upper limb functional tasks (Trunk Control Test \[TCT\] ≥ 50)
- Individuals with muscle tone of the affected upper limb of Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) Grade ≤ 2
- Individuals with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) scores between 20 and 50
- Individuals able to grasp and move objects with the affected upper limb and with muscle strength of Manual Muscle Test (MMT) Grade ≥ 3
- Individuals with impaired proprioception in the affected hand (defined as a score \< 2 on the wrist or thumb position item of the FMA-UE)
