Study summary

To investigate the impact of algorithms utilizing artificial intelligence technology and computer vision on the recovery of motor functions within the context of rehabilitation practice for patients who have experienced a cerebral stroke.

Read the detailed description

Progress in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their practical application across various fields, notably in medicine, showcases their potential in solutions such as automated diagnostic systems, unstructured medical record recognition, natural language understanding, event analysis and prediction, information classification, automatic patient support via chatbots, and movement analysis through video. Currently, diverse AI-based software systems are being developed, designed to solve intellectual problems akin to human thinking. AI's widespread applications encompass prediction, evaluation of digital information (including unstructured data), and pattern recognition (data mining).

Amid rapid advancements in deep machine learning, particularly in image and pattern recognition, medical image analysis has gained prominence within automated diagnostic systems, particularly in radiation diagnostics. With the burgeoning field's rapid growth, curating medical datasets for AI-based diagnostic system training and validation is crucial.

AI's success in radiation diagnostics and its recognition as promising within scientific circles pave the way for video analysis and machine learning's integration into medical rehabilitation practice. Collaborating, researchers at the Federal Medical Research Center of the FMBA of Russia and MTUCI devised a plan to develop specialized algorithms based on video movement analysis and machine learning for stroke patients undergoing medical rehabilitation.

These algorithms monitor patients' movements and promptly notify them of deviations, amplitude reductions, or compensatory patterns, aiding them in correcting their movements. All session data is archived electronically, accessible to medical professionals responsible for individualized lesson plans. This enables assessment of patient progress and necessary adjustments to the home rehabilitation program.

Incorporating AI-driven video analysis and machine learning into medical rehabilitation holds great potential for enhancing patient outcomes and personalizing treatment strategies.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AssistI patients

    Patients will receive rehabilitation training using the AsistI software package in conjunction with standard upper limb rehabilitation interventions.

    Device: AssistI patients

  • Active comparator
    Habilect patients

    Patients will receive rehabilitation training using the Habilect software and hardware complex, in addition to standard rehabilitation interventions for the upper limb.

    Device: Habilect patients

  • No intervention
    Conventional therapy patients

    Patients will undergo standard upper limb rehabilitation interventions without the utilization of additional methods.

Interventions

  • DeviceAssistI patients

    The AsistI software package rehabilitation involves tailored upper limb exercises under an individual program. The regimen consists of 10-12 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. Patients execute 10 exercises sequentially with their unaffected and affected limbs, involving tasks like touching mouth, forehead, and trunk parts with hand's brush, and amplitude movements in upper limb joints. AsistI assesses exercise accuracy, prevents unfavorable patterns, and logs target achievement, considering speed, accuracy, and repetitions.

  • DeviceHabilect patients

    The Habilect rehab program involves 10-12 sessions using software and hardware. Patients perform upper limb exercises for 30 minutes individually, focusing on specific movements. They repeat 10 exercises, first with the healthy limb, then the affected one. Tasks include touching mouth, forehead, and trunk, along with joint movements like shoulder flexion. Habilect assesses exercise accuracy, preventing wrong moves, and tracks progress, considering speed, accuracy, repetitions.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale for upper extremity assessment (FMA-UE)

    In this study, we wiil use 36 items of the upper arm (proximal musculature, FMA-UA), 24 items of wrist and hand (distal musculature, FMA-W/H), 6 items of aspects of coordination, 12 items of aspects of sensation, 24 items of aspects of passive joint movement, 24 items of joint pain. So the maximum total score on this FMA-UE scale was 126 points.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  2. Muscle strength was assessed using the MRC (Medical Research Council Weakness Scale)

    MRC is a commonly used scale for assessing muscle strength from Grade 5 (normal) to Grade 0 (no visible contraction). Paresis is defined as light at compliance with strength 4 points, moderate - 3 points, pronounced - 2 points, rough - 1 point and with - 0 points.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  3. The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT)

    Is a 19 item observational measure used by physical therapists and other health care professionals to assess upper extremity performance (coordination, dexterity and functioning) in stroke recovery, brain injury and multiple sclerosis populations. Scores on the ARAT may range from 0-57 points, with a maximum score of 57 points indicating better performance. MCID has been suggested as 5.7 points

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The speed of movement of the upper limb

    Upper limb movement speed: Time to reach the target (sec).

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  2. Accuracy of performed movements

    Movement accuracy: Precision in touching guided points (angles).

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  3. Total number of repetitions

    Repetition count: Number of motor attempts for the goal.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  4. The correctness of the exercises

    Exercise correctness: Number of compensatory actions like shoulder elevation or torso bend.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  5. The number of exercises completed

    Correct repetition count: Number of attempts without compensation, e.g., shoulder or torso movements.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

  6. The number of exercises not completed

    Incorrect repetition count: Number of attempts with compensatory actions, e.g., shoulder lift or torso bend.

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 3 weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Feb 2024; primary completion for Aug 2024, 6 months later.

Of 3,108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 28, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
