An interventional study of IMUs (Xsens, MVN Studio) in Multiple Sclerosis and CVA, sponsored by Hasselt University. Completed at 2 sites in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-12-11.
Sponsored by Hasselt University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
This study has 3 aimes:
It is a cross-sectional case-controlled observational study, with 3 different groups: 25 Persons with Multiple sclerosis, 25 stroke patients and 50 healthy controls, matched by age and gender.
3,524 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Sclerosis; 668 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 18 is below the median of 50 across 2,386 interventional studies indexed under Multiple Sclerosis.

25 persons with MS Persons perform funtional-oriented upper limb movments while wearing IMUs (Xsens, MVN Studio). This is a full-body human measurement system based on inertial sensors, biomechanical models and sensor fusion algorithms applied in neurological patients for measuring upper limb movements. Funcitonal-oriented upper limb movements are performed at two different test days.

kinematic parameter
The data received of the IMU's are the angles of point task achievement (PTA). PTA is defined as the instant when the ROM, needed for successful task execution, was achieved. Different joint angles of PTA will be calculated by MVN BIOMECH software. Matlab (software version R2016b) and excel will be used to process the data.
Time frame: day 2

The Brunnström Fugl Meyer (BFM)
The Brunnström Fugl Meyer (BFM) was used to measure motor control at the body functions and structures level. The upper limb section is applied: shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist movements and grip
Time frame: day 1
Action Research arm test
which assessed the patient's ability to handle objects varying in size
Time frame: Day 1
Trunk Impairment Scale
To examine the clinimetric characteristics of the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS). This scale evaluates motor impairment of the trunk after stroke. The TIS scores, on a range from 0 to 23, static and dynamic sitting balance as well as trunk co-ordination. It also aims to score the quality of trunk movement and to be a guide for treatment.
Time frame: day 1
Manual Ability Measure-36 (questionnaire)
Perceived performance on activity level
