An interventional study of surface electromyography-biofeedback in Stroke, Complication, sponsored by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 74 Years to 84 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-12.
Sponsored by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Background: Biofeedback-Surface electromyography (BIO-SEMG) is a relatively recent physiotherapy technique. Although its use is widespread in sports science and sports performance, its use for the rehabilitation of patients with neurological pathologies is less studied.
Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the changes that occur in the application of BIO-SEMG in the muscles responsible for the extension and the dorsiflexion of the hand and the foot in subjects with cerebrovascular damage.
Design: A randomized, double-blind, two-arm parallel group study was performed.
Patients: A sample of 28 subjects with limited extension of the hand and dorsiflexion of the foot as a consequence of a stroke was randomized divided in intervention or control groups.
Methods: The subjects of the intervention group underwent 12 sessions of BIO-SEMG, of 15-minute duration each of them, in the upper and lower members. On the other hand, the control group underwent another 12 sessions of 15-minute duration, in which manual physiotherapy techniques were performed.
Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia is the lead sponsor of 132 studies on the registry; 18 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
A group that underwent a neurological physiotherapy program with electromyography-biofeedback on the hand and the foot
Device: surface electromyography-biofeedback
A group that underwent a conventional physiotheraphy intervention
Device: surface electromyography-biofeedback
Two electrodes were putted on the motor point of the extensor muscle of the hand and the foot. The positive electrode was placed on the distal zone of the hand or the foot, while the negative electrode was placed on the proximal zone.
Extension Degree
Change in the extension ability of the upper an lower members depending on the activity of the extensor muscles
Time frame: 3 months
Fugl Meyer Test
Severity degree of the stroke-derived consequences
Time frame: 6 months
