An interventional study of Treadmill training combined with/ without thera-band in Chronic Stroke, sponsored by Sang-I Lin. Status unknown at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-22.
Sponsored by Sang-I Lin · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine if treadmill training combined with thera-band resistance to body support and forward propulsion would be more effective than treadmill training alone in improving over-ground walking ability and reducing energy cost in chronic stroke patients. This study will also characterize the neuromuscular and kinematic strategies to adapt to resisted treadmill walking in non-impaired adults and stroke patients.
This study includes chronic stroke patients who will be randomly assigned to treadmill training combined with thera-band or treadmill training alone group to receive 30 min per session, 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks walking training . Functional balance (Berg Balance Scale), gait characteristics during preferred and maximal speed level walking, and oxygen uptake during 5-minute bouts of treadmill walking will be assessed before and after training and at 2-month follow-up. Clinical sensorimotor function assessment, including hand grip strength, plantar sensitivity, stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement and Fugl-Meyer lower extremity motor scale will also be conducted for subject characterization.
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,007 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is above the median of 50 across 5,369 interventional studies indexed under Stroke.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive walking training on treadmill with thera-band at the waist. The direction of the thera-band resistance will be straight backward, backward-toward-right, and backward-toward-left. For each direction, the level of resistance and treadmill speed will be adjusted to allow the participants to perceive a 10-minute training to be 'slightly difficult'.
Behavioral: Treadmill training combined with/ without thera-band
Participants will receive treadmill walking training at a speed that will be adjusted to allow the participants to perceive a 10-minute training to be 'slightly difficult'. For each session, there will be three 10-min treadmill walking bouts.

stride characteristics
Wearable movement sensors will be used to measure walking speed, stride length and time, and gait cycle. Ground reaction forces during walking. A force platform will be used to measure ground reaction forces and center of pressure.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Walking oxygen uptake
A Ultima Cordi 02 machine will be used to measure VO2 during 5-minute bouts of treadmill walking.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Balance
Berg Balance scale Minimum scale = 0 Maximum scale = 56 Higher scores indicate better functional balance.
Time frame: 8 weeks
